Fun Family Game Night!
It’s no secret the economy isn’t doing very well right now. Most of us are trying to find ways to cut back and spend less money. Some people are eating out less, others are trading in their gym memberships for running and hiking outside. My husband and I have always been fairly frugal so we’re not making very many changes. However, there is one area that we find hard to scale back on. This is the area of entertainment.
Keep Your Family Healthy
It’s almost May, the warm days are becoming more and more frequent, all the flowers are in bloom and your kids are just itching for school to be out. They’re ready to get outside and enjoy the summer as much as possible. You probably have a few vacations planned, some week long camps and house projects to work on, but what about the rest of the time when your kids having nothing to do but sit there looking at you saying, “I’m bored!” Now what?
Beautiful Doll
One of my big pet peeves lately is people who give no thought into gifts they give to others, especially children. I think people get lazy and just buy the first thing they see and call it good. Yes, kids are pretty flexible and like most things thrown their way, but I think we as adults need to do our best to find things that will help kids have fun, but also encourage creative thinking and exploration. All the toys I get for my daughter are ones that force her to be creative or problem solve. She has a play kitchen, dollhouse, legos, wooden blocks, dress up box, puzzles and a lot of fun matching games. I know kids need to just be kids and have fun, but I know for a fact that kids actually enjoy being challenged and figuring things out by themselves. In light of this, I found a great new store where people can find just the right toy for the right child without having to think too much. It’s called Kazoo Toys.
I am totally exhausted today and it’s completely my own fault. Late last night I got back from a weekend 
trip with my girlfriends to the beach and I am really feeling the consequences of having very little sleep all weekend. We drove to the beach Friday night and stayed up until 5am the first night. The second night we toned it down a little and went to bed at 3am, only after we made a choreographed dance video to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” song. Ya, I got conned into putting on glitter eye liner and ratting my hair in a high 80’s style pony tail on the top of my head, followed by dancing with other 30 somethings while one lucky participant got to record the whole thing. Sound like fun? It really was fun a great weekend and I am glad I went, but I definitely can’t party like I used to.
The older I get, the more I realize how important the little things are in life. I spend less time cleaning my
Evening At The Park
house and more time reading with and tickling my toddler. I don’t worry so much about my waistline and worry more about teaching my daughter how to be positive and enjoy the world around her. Luckily I have a husband who shares these views with me, so we do everything we can to keep our priorities in perspective and really live in the now. One of the ways we try to accomplish this it to set aside time each day when we are spending quality, focused time with each other and with our daughter. It doesn’t have to be a great deal of time as long as it is sincere.
What Will This New Year Bring?
Like most of you, when the new year rolls around, I try to reflect on my life that past year. I try to recognize the good things that I’ve done and think about what I can do better. Usually I find more things that I could be doing better or try to add things that I should do on top of what I’m already doing. However, this year is different for me. I want to focus more on what I AM doing right and try to do less of the things that aren’t really that important.
Happy New Years
Growing up my parents had a very fun tradition with us kids for New Years Eve. At midnight we would grab all the pots, pans and large spoons we could find and stand at our front door banging them as loud as we could shouting, “Happy New Year!” We thought it was the funniest thing ever. It wasn’t until we were older that we learned my parents would set the clocks ahead two hours that night so we were actually banging the pots and pans at 10pm. No wonder our neighbors always gave us such funny looks!
