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!

How a Working Mom Failed Picture day (#PictureDay)

A picture day from preschool when I had my act together

There was a time when I only had one child and she attended preschool across the street from our home that I had a pristine calendar that I followed. That included noting that picture day was coming up, preparing for it and even going to the school to participate in it.

Well this year, I slipped.

That Time I Forgot Picture Day


I forgot that our son’s picture day was on September 18th. So, he attended school in a t-shirt, in need of a haircut. However, he was of course wearing his ever-present smile. We’ll see how that turns out.

For my daughter’s picture day, I remember to dress her appropriately. I did her hair. She was able to wear it out as opposed to in a ponytail and her face was washed and lip balm was applied! Still, I failed. Why? I forgot to send money for the photos! Oh well, I can take solace in the fact that she will look darn good in the class photo!
