Ever wish you had more time in the day, On an average we all work at least 8 to 12 hours a day and spend our time with total strangers more then our own family. Here are 10 ways to spend some quality time with your family.
- Turn off your cell phone as soon as you get in the door. Do not take calls from the time you get home until the next day. Leave work at work! If this is too difficult then try it for an hour at first.
- Always have dinner together as a family and talk about your day. I know we are way to busy! Right? Wrong! if you really want it you can.
- Turn off the TV, unplug it whatever you need to do. Again, an hour at a time of quality time is better then none.
- Have breakfast together on Sundays. Sit relax and just catch up on the week past and the week ahead. Talk about plans, hopes and dreams.
- Take a personal or sick day and pack up the car and just take the family to the beach. This will be a nice surprise for everyone, including your boss.
- Schedule one day a week that is just for family, “your family” only. No phones, TV, friends, computers. You get the point.
- Have a once a week family meeting to talk about issues, at home, school, work, anything you want to. Put it on the calendar like as if it was a scheduled meeting.
- Make a family movie night. Pop some popcorn, get a good movie, put the cell phones on vibrate so that there are no interruptions and then enjoy quality time.
- Make Friday nights a theme night. During the week have the kids help to plan the theme for Friday this gives them something to look forward to.
- Have a family garage sale, give everyone a task and make a plan this can be a fun way to make extra money for a vacation fund or extra spending- money. Plus it motivates the kids to help out in a positive way.
Family time is great my children love the time we spend together. The hardest thing is when family time is over.
Good luck!
