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 Visit to The National Museum of Play

on
As a working mom, I appreciate fun-filled weekends A LOT! Last weekend, I visited my hometown of Rochester, New York. While there, my mom made sure that we stopped by the Strong Museum, otherwise known as "The National Museum of Play". I am so glad she did. It totally rocks!

The National Museum of Play had so many great fun things for kids. It had a dance room replete with a strobe light that my we all rocked out too, especially the baby. It had a pretend Wegmans Food and Pharmacy with little shopping carts and faux food. It also has a replica of the stoop portrayed on Sesame Street. As a girl raised on Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and the Count, I was impressed and had to try it out. So, below is a photo of my sister, my daughter and I just chillin' on Sesame Street...

If you haven't taken your kids to The National Museum of Play, I highly recommend making a trip to Rochester.

I found out how to get to Sesame Street...
