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 Tip: Stay Healthy

Two working moms who make things happen... 

As working moms a lot of people rely on us—our families, our bosses, organizations that we serve… We know that we can't fulfill our obligations unless we are healthy.

I imagine she did that because she didn't often have time to enjoy a proper lunch. We have all been there. However, even with our busy schedules we have to make sure that we get the appropriate nutrients if we want to stay healthy.

Life is fragile and it is important that we take care of ourselves. (Click here for a reminder of that.)
