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!

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: New Shades (Almost Wordless Wednesday)

If you haven't noticed, my toddler is a bit of a diva. She wants anything with rhinestones, sequins, or sparkles. And she hasn't met a crown that she didn't like. Indeed, she wears one every day. And, if you call her princess, she won't correct you.  

I don't know where her propensity for glamour comes from. However, I haven't objected. Despite my feminist tendencies and desire for equality, I don't think that there's anything wrong with indulging your inner princess.

Below is a series of photos I took of my daughter in a new pair of sunglasses I got at Target.  Because Internet "window" shopping is one of my favorite pass times, I know that they are inspired by Prada.  They cost about $4.99, but the joy they've given my daughter is priceless.
