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!

The Working Mom’s Credo

on

As working moms we bear the burden of carrying our families on our backs. Indeed, this life is exquisite yet excruciating. Part of the reason it is so hard is because of the inequities at home and at work. While those inequities may make us weary, we can never give up.

The Working Mom’s Credo

I have delivered life in the midst of strife. 

I have carried a family on my back without compliment only flack. 

I have been mischaracterized as cold, disrespected, lied to and called old.

I have performed childcare duties as if I were the only one only to be ridiculed for not being "fun".

I have pulled a rabbit out of a hat many times keeping my head high despite being maligned. 

Doing the hard work regardless of how I may feel 

But just because I'm magic doesn't mean I'm not real.
