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: A Dessert for those who lack time

on
Memorial Day Dessert
Working moms are long on ambition, but short on time. That means that even though our hearts may be crying out to make a homemade peach cobbler to take to the Memorial Day picnic, the clock tells us that we just can't do it. In those situations, we need a back up plan.


When I needed to bring a dessert to the cookout I attended on Monday, I was inspired by somethng I saw on the old Bethenny Frankel show. Say what you want about Bethenny, she knows how to prepare food quickly that is rich in taste, but on calories. I made ice cream sandwiches out of Chips Ahoy Cookies and Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream. They were the perfect treat for a hot day and enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

SCORE!!!
