Like, so ready. I was the one that decorated my front porch and house before September 1st and got my first Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks on the day it was released even though it was over 90 degrees that day. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, am I right?! Fall is the second favorite season only to Christmas in our house. Being together as a family is the best way to experience all that is this time of year. Here are a few ideas you can do as a family and add to your bucket list.

Birthday Parties

A Blue Ombre Bubble Guppies Birthday Party

August 6, 2018May 26, 2019

If you have been around me long enough or followed me on social media, then you would know that I like throwing birthday parties for my kids. Let me rephrase that, I get super pumped and a flurry of excitement by throwing parties! It is definitely a passion of mine. The boys look forward to it and celebrating their birthdays is a tradition that I cherish. The memories that we make will last a lifetime and maybe they will continue this tradition with their kids as well.

I knew from the moment that one of his first words were Bubble, that we were in for another Bubble Guppies Party. With 3 boys, I should have known that the moment would come when we would have to repeat a theme. I mean come on…after 15 birthday parties…the pickings are getting slim. So the thought of repeating the Bubble Guppies theme lost its luster a little bit for me. Then the idea popped into my head to focus on the colors and less on the theme.

WEEKLY FAMILY TRADITIONS

July 5, 2018March 29, 2019

Kids love traditions and family rituals, and sometimes the parents might just love it a little more. These traditions foster a sense of belonging, security, comfort, and just something to hold on to.

Traditions do not always have to evolve around holidays, birthdays, or vacations. You are missing out on a whole lot of memories if you are just waiting for the next holiday. You can create small everyday traditions to incorporate with your family that you implement daily or weekly.

Life is busy, life is messy and thus we don’t take the time to do the rituals that we have always done. Over time those traditions can fade away. How do you avoid that from happening? How do you keep your family closely bonded? By being intentional! Continue Reading“WEEKLY FAMILY TRADITIONS”
