Instead of eating the same thing every night, make it more fun by assigning a theme to your dinner. For example, make every Tuesday a taco night! You can either order in from your favorite restaurant or prepare the tacos together with your kids. Kids will gladly participate in the making of the dinner and they will be eager awaiting Taco night. If you want to spice things up, even more, you can have different themes every Tuesday, such as pizza night, egg night, pancake night, and so on. Not only will you enjoy the food, but you can catch up on what’s happening in your children’s life while sitting around the table.

Summer activities can be a picnic in the park, camping in the backyard, or a fun day out at the beach. Be sure to bring the pool floats along. Kids can get comfortable and go afloat with a mystical fun toy like this unicorn float.

Fall is a wonderful time of year to spend time with your children. Have them help rake up the fall leaves them jump in there, go apple picking at your favorite orchard, go for a stroll through a corn maze or head to a pumpkin patch.

Winter activities families can enjoy together are skiing, ice skating, sledding and building a snow man in the front yard.

From the leaky faucet,to the fence you need to paint, your children can help out with the job. This is a great teaching opportunity.  Get the kids involved assembling that new doll house, by handing you the parts or putting together that new entertainment unit.

  1. I so agree, spending quality time with your kids is essential. As we all know if you blink their all grown up and headed for college!

  2. I spend quality time with my kids by reading books together, walks, Laying on their bed together looking at the ceiling talking about random things, letting them help cook meals with you

  3. Morning snuggles are a thing in our house. They always turn into tickle fights. We do family game nights, and movie in a fort night! We read every night together, and love going on “adventures” as my boys call them.

  4. We make crafts, bake together, have family movie and game nights, at Christmas time we take the shuttle bus down to Meyer’s pier for the light display, go on walks along the waterfront, spend time with family and friends.

  5. Camping adventures most weekends of the summer, and in the winter when my son has early morning hockey on Saturday’s, the four of us will go get breakfast together after his game/practice 🙂

    We love to read every night before bed together, in our bed.

    Friday night movie nights are something we do often.

  6. Spend as much time with your kids as you can, because they grow up so fast and next thing you know they are to big for hugs and cuddles
