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!

Because of Verizon, I am Now a Part of the "In Crowd" (#VZWVoices #Mom)

on
I am participating in the Verizon Moms Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.   


As you know, Verizon selected me to be a “Verizon Wireless Voices Ambassador”. It’s been a great opportunity because I’ve gotten to try out a couple Verizon devices. The first was a Samsung Tab. I have enjoyed my tab. It has made me more efficient by allowing me to maximize my time. It has bought me time by entertaining my toddler while I do the laundry and occasionally blog. It has also helped me stay more connected to social media by giving me unlimited internet access wherever I go.

In a word, the tab has been cool. And if it was the only perk that I received for being a “Verizon Wireless Voices Ambassador” I'd be happy.

The Second Device We Received, The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 



Last night I watched the American Music Awards and learned that because of my affiliation with Verizon I am now rocking technology like LeBron James who is in a great commercial for Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Forget being like Mike. That’s old school. I now have the hottest device being marketed by the hottest NBA star and potentially in all of sports right now.  Gotta love the doors that blogging has opened up for me!
So, you’re probably wondering, “does the device live up to the hype?” The answer is “yes and then some.” It is the perfect combination of a phone and a tablet. The ability to call and have the functionality of a tablet definitely gives the iPad mini a run for it's money. It is large enough to allow you to read documents and watch movies without squinting. Yet, it is Small enough to slip into your purse without weighing you down. It looks damned cool. It also takes the clearest pictures I have ever seen!
One of the coolest things about having the device, other than rolling like my dog LeBron, is that iPhone users comment all of the time about how much they love it. I guess, I have actually transcended cool. Instead of being in the in crowd, I have become that chick with the hottest toy.
Thanks Verizon!
