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!

A Working Mom Weekend: A trip to Galleria Mall (Part I)

on
Like most working moms I try to make the most of my weekends.  I try to make my kids realize that all mommies are engaged, whether they work outside the home or not.

The only problem with that is it puts a lot of pressure on me to make the weekends special.  As I plan, I sometimes forget that special to my kids may mean something different.

Today,  special to them meant sleeping in the car...


We were headed to Winter Picnic & Kids Expo at Galleria Mall. I made a wrong turn though. So it took a long time to get there.  By the time we arrived, both kids were asleep. So, "special" became me working on a book chapter and them sleeping in the back seat. I had to make the most of it!
