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!

Overcoming Hardship...

Our family

I find it hard to write when I can't tell the whole truth it's the curse of having an honest mind I guess. As the words have been wrestling in my head and I've had thoughts and emotions behind them, I know this.  

I have been absent for a while because I have been processing life since my kids and I were in a motor vehicle collision. I was reluctant to share that the accident occurred in this forum  because I was embarrassed. The embarrassment was because the accident happened regardless of fault. I generally pride myself on being able to control my life and the accident was a reminder about how vulnerable I actually am. I needed time to regain my confidence so that I can share what life has taught me in this forum. Here is one thing that I have learned.

Despite what I've endured, overcome and experienced. I. Am. Blessed.
