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!

Working Mom Reflections: Sunday Dinner With My Mom

on
I'm no Martha Stewart, but I do like to throw down on Sundays when I can. Like I said last week, my grandmother established a great tradition of Sunday dinners. So, when Sunday rolls around, I do feel like I've missed something if we didn't have a family dinner. Normally, I am more than comfortable with that feeling. However, today, my mother was in town. So, I had to cook. (I cooked last week too. Click here if you'd like to read about it.)


Also, she kept our kids last night and most of the day. I think that was to ensure that I'd have no excuse than to prepare dinner! ;-)

Her comment, "This is delicious!" In my family, that is high praise indeed.

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!!!

Here's a video describing what I made.  Enjoy!
