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!

Wednesday Reflections: I now embrace the Ides of March!

Me and my son
Two years ago, on March 15th, I gave birth for the second time. The delivery was quick. The baby came out crying. And he has been ready to rule the world ever since.

I immediately fell in love.

Like many moms for the second time, I previously questioned whether my heart had the capacity hold any additional love because my heart was full from my first baby. Little did I know, the heart has an infinite ability to expand.  And mine did.

Our son was the answer that we had all been looking for, but didn't know it. He has caused us all to become better versions of ourselves.

So, for me, the ides of March have become a time of celebration. I will always be grateful for March 15, 2014 and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for all of us!
