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!

Throwback Thursday: New Year's Eve 2014 (#TBT)

One of the highlights of the end of the year was New Year's Eve. Midday we visited the Pittsburgh Children's Museum to see the balloons drop! It's an annual event and a lot of fun.

New Year's Eve, Children's Museum


This is the third year that we have attended. My daughter loves it so much it tires her out, which is a great thing.

All partied out!

We followed up were able our visit to the Children's Museum with an early dinner out with the kids at Eddie Merlot's, which was a great way to start off. 

Eddie Merlot's gives a great presentation and the food is delicious!

We were all dressed for the evening, the kids included and they seemed to enjoy themselves. The baby enjoyed himself so much that he had no interest in remaining in his high chair. Instead, he wanted to roam and to see what the other diners were doing!



Stay tuned to my account of the remainder of our evening at Motown, The Musical!
