Rise and Shine!

2019 is the year to spend more time with your family.

A new year comes with new goals and challenges and we all know that balancing life can get difficult sometimes. Errands, chores, school, work, exercise… we get caught up in a routine that can get boring. How can you make time with your love ones more fun and consistent?

Here are 5 ideas to nurture the relationship with your family while spending more time together:

1. Get Creative

Find a simple craft to make together at home like: sculpting with clay, making a collage, painting with your fingers, etc. the possibilities are endless. And if you get to find an art & craft class in your community, enroll your family. Whatever it is, be sure to stimulate the creativity every week, even if it’s only going to an art show or a museum.

2. Read together

Start with magazines, move to simple books and then read a book series. Let each one take a character to make it more fun and read it out loud. Do it a before bed routine every day, so you never miss it. Reading together makes for great conversation and bonding time. There are so many things you’ll learn about your kids while you do this. You’ll never know until you try it!

3. Family Night once a week

Choose a day of the week that will ALWAYS be family night, tell everyone so they can wait for it and don’t ever cancel it, stick to your plan! It can be as simple as playing some board games, going to the movies, to a fun place together or just to grab a bite. Be sure to keep some Rolaids® in your purse and never let heartburn stand in the way of a good meal or a good time.

4. Exercise as a family

Put the tennis shoes on and fill up that water bottle. Enjoy a good hike, bike ride, swim or fishing trip with your loved ones. The sun will provide a dose of Vitamin D, great for your bones. Exercise is not only excellent for your physical health, but for the emotional well-being of everyone in the family. Just as a fish needs water, your body also needs Vitamin E. Not only does it nourish the skin to help repair, replenish, and fortify the skin, Vitamin E’s antioxidant properties also help counteract the pollutants you come into contact with every day. For nourishing Vitamin E and daily hydration to ensure your skin stays healthy, try GOLD BOND® Ultimate Radiance Renewal.

5. Get Cooking!

Get your kids involved in the dinner process from time to time or making dessert!  It will not only teach them a new skill, but also helps them to get familiar in the kitchen so it will be easier for them later on as they grow up. Be sure to keep some Kaopectate® in your medicine cabinet in case of an upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, nausea, indigestion or heartburn.

Family time has great benefits: it strengthens family bonds, builds children’s self-esteem, encourages communication and develops positive behaviors on your kids.
