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: Fourth of July Weekend

on

The only thing working moms like better than a weekend is a long weekend.  Last weekend was no exception. Like many Americans I celebrated the holiday with food, family and fun. During the weekend I had a conversation with someone about patriotism that got me thinking. 

Can you love America and believe that we still have a lot to overcome?


In the past six months we have had so many examples about how America has many miles to go before it lives up to its creed. Indeed, "all men are created equal" remains an aspiration and not a reality. How is it possible to celebrate all that is America and to recognize the issues that we still have to overcome?


I think the answer is quite simple. 

Loving your country may be like loving your family. Your family does not have to be perfect to deserve your love. Sometimes, they may get on your nerves, try your patience and drive you to the brink. Still, they are yours and you would choose to defend them against all else in spite of their imperfections. And more often than not, they give you something to smile about!
