My boys are 21 and 23 and just left home, it’s the first time in my life I’m leaving by myself, it’s difficult but I have a very good purpose to continue: myself! I don’t want to lose them, I send them this article to agree on some family time together at least once a month. Suggestions welcome!

In our every day life, we get so busy that we sometimes fail to stop to spend the time with the most important people in our lives. They are the reason we work so hard and do all that we do.
So enjoy them fully ! :) It seems like yesterday my children were babies and now they are 5 & 7 years old already. I am the mom that is always having fun with them (like crawling up in the tubes and riding rides with them) and having a BLAST! Good excuse to do the kid stuff ! ;)
I just know one day they will be “too old” to do that stuff with mom and be embarrassed.. so enjoy it now.
I love to go out in the backyard and swing on the swings, swim with them, even taking walks and doing nothing else at all means the world to them.
Have fun in all you do.. have them participate in cooking, cleaning, and make it fun. It gets it done a lot quicker and also counts as quality family time & you get something done in the process.
And for a good cry? Listen to Steven Curtis Chapman’s song “Cinderella” and that will make you realize they grow up all too fast. :)

We have been gardening together and recently went to the movies. Continuing to look for more everyday ways to have fun together. We have been busy, busy, busy… time to stop and smell the roses and see that the babies are growing up!

Hi:
We have found a fun thing to do in a busy city and it makes Dad a hero too.We go to Piccadilly(we order fruit,veggies and other healthy options)but the reason we go is the “Toy Crain” my husband can win no matter what and we amaze the other parents and kids as he offers to win for their kids too($1 for a big stuffed toy)we make a deal with Estelle(3)to eat her fruit and veggies and she gets three(her good behavoir earnings each week)We have so much fun with all the cheering and smiles from kids and parents and Estelle thinks dad is SuperDaddy.He is just super lucky and it’s fun.

I want to have more fun with my kids and lose the baby weight that I’ve kept on all winter!

My kids are 7, 8, and 9 years old. They play outside every chance they get and are so happy. Why shouldn’t I join them?!

Today I built anherb garden with my wife and 3 year old son. Completion of 2 challenges in one.

Recently I purchased a 1 year pass for our local parks system. I am trying to get my husband, myself and our 2 small dogs out to the dog walk in the park several times a week.
I have had mixed success.
Some days my husband is hard to get out of bed. On the days we go it is so much fun to see the dogs interact with other dogs.
It is the only dog park in the area. They have a mud lake for them to run in, water fountain for the dogs, and hoses to wash them off with.
Gathering with other adults helps my outlook on life. The exercise we get walking the park does not seem like exercise.
