One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Make Family Events More Enjoyable With Friends

Better Together: Why Inviting Another Family Makes Activities More Fun #FamilyFun Sometimes family activities can feel like another item on the to-do list. However, doing those activities with another family makes them more fun! Whether it’s a trip to an amusement park , a visit to the local pool , or trip to a pumpkin patch , including another family can multiply the fun in amazing ways. One of my favorite moms to collaborate with is my friend, Ayana Ledford who's pictured above with her daughter Sahar. We have done all of the things listed as seemingly random examples above and here is how including her and her daughter (and sometimes her son too) has made the events more fun.

Happy International Women's Day: Let's Celebrate Women!

Even though I've had some posts lately criticizing high profile women like Marissa Mayer and Sheryl Sandberg, I remain a huge fan of women and believe that International Women's Day is a great time to acknowledge our accomplishments.
 

International Women's Day is a Time to Celebrate!

 
Do we have a lot of progress to make in workplace equality, pay equity and acknowledgement of the contributions of mothers?  Absolutely. However, have we come a long way? You betcha baby!

Here's a link to a prior post that discusses this remarkable day, and the many challenges that women face, in more detail, Chaton's World: A Mom's Quest for Balance in Stilettos: International Women's Day: Let's Celebrate Women!  (It would be really great if this time next year, America makes this a national holiday...)

ENJOY!

I think about this all time. I have concluded that for the most part the car doesn't matter. However, once you have a nice ride it's hard to downgrade. So, if you are a lawyer with a conservative budget ride keep it that way. Once you get a luxury car it's awkward to go backwards.
