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: Summer Adventures in Pittsburgh

on
Our daughter at PPG Center, Pittsburgh, Pa.

I just LOVE this photo because it truly captures the fun that is possible in Pittsburgh in the summertime!

Indeed, Pittsburgh is a great place to be in the summertime. Because the weather can be crappy, a lot, Pittsburghers seem to enjoy nice days as much or more than folks in other parts of the country. Also, the city really embraces summer. There are countless fountains for kids to run through like the one above. There are also free outdoor events that encourage a sense of community and an appreciation of the outdoors. If you're interested in learning more about upcoming events like some free concerts that are coming up, click here. There are also several concert series in and around Pittsburgh which make summer a great time to party in Pittsburgh, for free! (For a link to the schedule, click here.)

How do you enjoy summer in your town?!
