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. On the date above, Ayana almost left the venue because parking was a nightmare. That said, she hung in there and we would up having a great time!

Mommy Mondays: Crime Fighting Mom Inspires Me!

on

A lot of people say that working moms are super women. We take those comments in stride and keep it moving. Secretly, I sometimes look at what I’ve accomplished in a given week and take great pride. It is rare, but sometimes I feel like I rock!

There are other times when I feel as if I am drowning in toys, struggling to keep my house clean and barely treading water at work. I also sometimes feel deeply conflicted about working and mothering, especially when I leave the house and my daughter is in tears. When those weeks are combined with lazy days, when I choose to sleep until 7:00 AM instead of waking to blog or run, I feel downright slovenly!

Anyway, I digress.

This Mommy Monday isn’t about whining. It is about celebrating!
I recently read about a mom who is not only a psychotherapist and marathoner, she is also a B-A-D-A-S-S!
She chased down a thief who was trying to steal her husband’s bike from their home.  She saw the crime going down and instantly acted. I think that she was prepared to beat him down. He must have thought so too because he abandoned the bike and fled. All I can say is “GO MOM”!!!
Note to criminals: Don't *bleep* with moms!!!

(Advice to this mom, even though I’m impressed, next time, let him keep the bike. He might be a crazed lunatic!!!)
