I like to take the girls to wagon hill and slide down the hill with them, we have so much fun, they always think they will break me as we tumble down the hill in a pile of family.

I always plan on spending a lot of time with Sarah, but things come up. Useless things! Your children aren’t going to remember if the dish’s are done, or how clean your house is. I find that Sarah enjoys just having me to herself to read, color, or just go for a walk and play outside together. The best memories are usually the ones that you don’t have to pay for. Just time alone to talk one on one, and most of all laughing together. THE BEST. Wishing all parents a great Holiday Vacation.

I suggest never putting off that one to one with your kids ,before you know it there grown and gone……..

there is nothing more important than your children…spend as much time as you can with them, for there are times you can never get back!

Melanie Cormier Pepin
Thank you for this. Children need quality time with their families and it doesn’t have to involve spending money or running all over the place. Keep it simple when they are young and children will learn to appreciate things more. Play a game, read a book, bake cookies. Children need time to relax. Shut off the Wii and TV, cell phones and tune in to your families.

No matter what or how busy things are, I make sue that the Supper/Dinner table is a constant place to share our day with eachother.

Crafts are a cheat thing to do. Go out and look for pine cones, get some peanut butter or lard, bird seed and made the birds a treat. Do worry if they make a mess it can be clean up after. Make cookies and frosting and let the kids have a ball.

Gladys…I still make pinecone bird treats! Great memories of my childhood with time spent with my family.

When thinking of a memorable activity to do with my three boys, I default back to the old fashioned family fun activities; baking, playing outside in the snow, making multisensory crafts, dancing/ singing to all our favorite tunes, and reading lots of good books. Spending quality family time together!

Dori Kelly We did it at my granddaughter’s 3th b-day the kids loved it.
