Put Family Fun on the Calendar

The New Year is a great time to plan your Extraordinary Family Fun for the entire year. Take one of those calendars you received for the holidays and plan out family activities for the coming year.

Begin by placing all your family birthdays on the calendar. Talk with your children about how they wish to spend their birthday and have some fun researching birthday party ideas - just the two of you.

Visit the online calendar for your local newspaper and write down cool events and happenings.

Take your school calendar and write down all the holidays.

Celebrate with Friday is Family Date Night and assign date nights between one parent and one child, the other parent, grandmother, or relative can cozy up with the remaining children for a group date. This fosters nurturance and attachment with your children as you schedule these special relationship moments for your family.

Get hip and put community events, art classes, cooking classes and freebees on the calendar today!
