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!

Beach trips make summer more special!

Going to the beach is one of our favorite things to do during the summer. And although we prefer the ocean, any beach will do. Last summer, because of concerns about COVID19, we only made it to Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. Still, because we had been locked up all year and the waves were high, we got our fix and it held us over till this summer.

This summer, we have a family trip planned to the Outer Banks of North Carolina where we plan to fellowship, play in the sand, and yes enjoy the ocean. Until then, these beach time memories will have to keep us going!

This our first time visiting Outerbanks. I lived in North Carolina and never made it previously. So, I'm excited. I've also organized this trip for nearly my entire family and the expectations are high. So, please help me look good! If you've been to the Outer Banks, let me know what you love about it. This is going to be our first time visiting there!
