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!

Birthday Greetings-What’s Right About Social Media

on



I am feeling honored, humbled and incredibly loved. People comment a lot about what's wrong with social media. Let me tell you what is right with it--birthday wishes.

My birthday was Saturday, November 5th. All weekend I was blessed with hundreds of birthday greetings from family, extended family, friends, and friends of my siblings from all over the country. I have received poems, tributes, virtual cakes, and well wishes. These were sent to me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I even received a cool message from the Twitter gods that included balloons that the kids and I were able to pop!


All of the messages, likes, and photos, reminded me of how blessed I am. They helped make my day more special and helped me have a very happy birthday! Social media has been criticized for a variety of reasons. However, based on the love I received during my birthday weekend, I believe that it's alright! :-)

Birthday Dinner at Revel and Roost

Don't worry, I also had a great birthday in real life too. I received songs from my uncle, mother and kids. I received numerous gifts from my family. My husband also arranged a birthday dinner for me at Revel and Roost. After that, we got turned up at Social House 7 and Seven in the Cultural District. If I'm feeling brave, I'll post the video! :-)
