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!

Wordless Wednesday (almost): Photos from the Holidays

Christmas 2013 (Our photo shoot from last year when the baby was a mere bump...)

People criticize this time of year for being too busy, too commercial, and too tiring. The holidays are that, but they are much more. Even with the things that make us complain about the holidays they remain a very special time of year. Here are some photos of our family as we enjoyed the Christmas season.



One of my favorite things about the holidays is having my entire family together. My sister comes up from Atlanta and it's like we hit the lottery. She is so full of life that everything is better when she is around.

We were fortunate enough to attend the "Jack and Jill" 2014 Cotillion at the Omni William Penn Hotel. It was a great event. The hotel is just beautiful this time of year and it was fun to dress up!


Of course, Christmas was all about the kids. We're fortunate enough that we are able to make their dreams come true. So, Christmas morning was a series of oohs, ahs, and squeals!

After all of the excitement, my men fell asleep happy and exhausted.
