I say it's just the beginning!
- January:Plan ahead, spend 5 minutes hugging your kids, pets, husband, boyfriend, etc. Start on a day by day organization routine.
- February: The month of love. Share 10 minutes a day with your family just enjoying them. Spend at least 1 hour a week playing board games with the family.
- March: If the weather is just right, go buy or make a kite and spend a Saturday outside or if the weather is bad, spend the time indoors baking cookies or making a cake.
- April: Spring is here, hopefully. Go plant some flowers together as a family. Spend 20 minutes a day helping with homework, sharing chores.
- May: Spend 25 minutes outside a day with your little ones, either by watching them play, or playing right along with them. Leave the indoors behind.
- June: The month of summer. Spend time jump roping, bike riding and walking in the park. Spend at least 30 minutes or more just enjoying nature.
- July: Independence Day is here. Focus on the Red, White, and Blue. Decorate your house, spend lots of time reflecting what this month means to you and your family.
- August: Time to wind down from the summer. Spend an hour at the beach if you can, make sand castles and sand creatures. Watch a favorite movie together, take a walk to the mall.
- September: Spend at least 30 minutes with your school age child, helping them with their homework, reading, etc. Also a good idea to do some basic learning skills throughout the summer. Never too early to start. Spend 30 minutes after school doing some fun family activities.
- October: Time for Halloween preparations. Start early to decide on costumes, and route. Continuing to spend precious time each day with each child.
- November: The time to be thankful for all you have. Look back over the past year and remember times you were especially thankful. Have you grown as a family with your daily alotted minutes? Eat well and enjoy the holidays.
- December: Merry Christmas, the most special time of year. Be excellent to each other, and live in the present and don't worry about the future. Take each day one at a time to avoid worries, stress, and unrealistic goals.
