Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

Sometimes it’s important to reassess our schedules and our commitment to family life. If you’ve been feeling like you don’t have enough quality time with your loved ones, challenge yourself this weekend think about ways you can better organize your time. Then make an effort to get together and do something. Here are some tips:
• Exercise together (evenings and weekends are ideal)
• Cook together (kids love meal prep, and we all gotta eat)
• Go to bed early; snuggle up or read side-by-side.
• Rent a family-friendly flick

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.

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?!

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.
