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 Girls' Trip

Me and the Dallas crew

Last weekend my daughter and I took a girls' trip. No boys were allowed. So, we left daddy and the baby at home in pursuit of fun and fellowship with her god mother and god sisters in Dallas, Texas. Our trip had some twists and turns. We left a day later, spent night at the airport Hyatt and a toilet was clogged. (Intentional use of the passive voice to protect the culprit! :-))  Ah adventures...

I love my time with my entire family, but this girls' trip was truly special. Seeing my daughter enjoy her extended family, seeing them embrace her, and feeling the love shared by all was an awesome experience. Still smiling...

Flying is humbling and always makes me count my blessings!
