Happy Family

Families are who you love. Our families all “look” different and it’s always been so. A Happy family care giving unit might consist of a couple; a mother, father and children; a single parent and child; grandparent and grandchildren; a sibling group; a circle of friends; or however that family defines itself... 

As with all things in life, change is inevitable. We find ourselves trying to find a balance almost daily with the ebb and flow of energy and we must decide how that energy is best used to carry us on our journey. I believe strongly that all relationships in our lives come to us for a reason, a season or a lifetime. No matter how long a relationship lasts, if you have learned and grown from it, you can never regret what it taught you and that it came into your life to make you more aware. What you keep with you and the seeds that it plants for your future are priceless. Keep flowing peacefully down the river of life and though it may not always be smooth sailing, may it always be a blessed ride.

I Love My Family

 I’ll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future.

                                            

Teaching children about prayer 

It takes just a simple moment to teach children about the power of prayer

 

My daughter and son has started saying his own prayers by himself – half real words & half gibberish made-up words lol. I’m sure HF understand.

5 indoor activities for the whole family

1. Family room picnics

These can get the whole family involved. Simple meals like build-it-yourself Mexican-style burritos, macaroni or potato salad, or a simple contact grill can get the kids involved from start to finish. Consider divvying up the tasks, such as having one child lay down the blanket and set the, um, table, another help with food prep, and perhaps have a third choose a movie for the family to enjoy together.

                                      2. Dart Gun War

This can keep your kids entertained for hours. Be sure to establish safety rules, such as no shooting at each others faces. To add more creativity, consider ordering the darts separately and making the gun from something like PVC pipes or paper towel rolls and have the kids decorate them. To add more variety, consider adding a capture-the-flag type element to the game.

3. Video game/movie character food

These fun ideas for meals and snacks can bring you and your kids together in the kitchen in a way that can get the kids away from the TV/gaming console and learning a useful skill. If your kids like role-playing video games or a certain movie, consider dressing up with the kids like their favorite characters and making a dish that theses characters like to eat.

4. Around-the-house carnival

Pint rest has tons of great ideas for this, including water bottle bowling, balloon volleyball, and multiple ideas for Scotch tape games, including sticky spider web, hopscotch and “target” practice. This can also be a great time to have the kids invite their friends over to play with them. Beforehand, you can put together prizes, or even make or bake them yourself.

                                      5. Scavenger hunt

This can help eliminate the childhood need to explore and plunder when bored. Make sure that you set rules about where the children may look for items. You can have them check off a list or even take pictures of each item for them to locate. Variations of this can include letter-sounds, colors, or even favorite toys. Whoever comes back with the most items of cures wins.
