Three Things : Weekdays + Creative Family Giveaway

We have a park in town that has trails and a playground.. There are ponds with wildlife and beautiful flowers and just tons to explore and do and see.

One of our favorite things is getting in the car and driving up to northern New England and going on a "lighthouse hunt". We love to get the maps out and find all the lighthouses. For some we have to hike quite a ways to get to, some we get to climb up to the top of, some have historic shops attached, ALL have fantastic views!! They bring a sense of calm, safety/security and peace.

Our little guy is only 7 months old so we're still building our list of things to do together. We love going places on weekends where he has a lot of new things to look at but my favorite thing is when we curl up at night as a family and one of us reads to the baby as the other one gives him his bottle... that's when we're at our best.

Picnics in the park. A big blanket, lots of water bottles, sunscreen & whatever nibbles we can find.

Hi Ali!
There is a few everyday that bring us closer together. Eating as a family @ the dinner table. Family hugs (these are my son's fav). Walking along the dykes in Maple Ridge BC. All of these share something:togetherness.
Have a great day!!

What we like to do together is to "create" this could be arts and crafts, food, dances. Just spending time together as a family learning from one another.

I love traveling with my family. Last year my husband & I took our 3 kids(twin boys & daughter, all under the age of 5) to Asia. It was amazing! It was so cool going on overnight trains, riding elephants & meeting so many great people. It was great to show our children other cultures & places.

Thanks Ali!
Favorite thing to do as a family - dinners around out table and sunday afternoons of football.

Love to turn off the tv. . .turn up the music. . .and dance around the house together. . .

We make it a priority here too to eat dinner together.

I jumpstart creativity by shopping - any kind of shopping gets me to have creative ideas - and my aunt can come up with cute ideas all over the homegoods store!

We love to play outside in the grass and dirt with our toddler. He loves it and it makes him laugh so hard when we play and act silly in the yard. I just can't get enough of him....family time really is priceless. there is nothing or anywhere else I would rather be then with my little family!

My favourite thing to do as a family (we don't have kids yet) is to go for coffee. My husband's schedule changes every week, so we take our coffee breaks when we can.
By the way, I find your posts very inspiring, thank you so much for sharing!

My families favorite thing to do together is eating dinner at the kitchen table every night. It is not too exciting but it gives us the opportunity to pray together before the meal and to discuss what we each did today. With a busy schedule of school, work, soccer, gymnastics etc. we treasure this uninterupted time spent together as a family.

There is nothing like a long walk to help us get reconnected as a family.

Our favorite thing to do is have a game night. All kid directed.

my favorite thing to do with my family is walking around our little town with them. all of us love to be outside and when we're walking we like to dream of the house we may someday own (which is a mixture of about 35 houses!).

My daughters (3yo & 5 yo) love to eat out. Hubby & I used to love eating out before kids, and now since the kids are out of the 'diaper' stage, we can sit and enjoy our meal. The kids see it as a treat b/c we usually eat at home. My favorite family time is just sitting and watching something together, cuddling with the kids!

We love cuddle time in our bed with the kids between us...before bed, in the morning, whenever. Besides the obvious tickle-fests and cuddles, we can have some pretty good talks all piled in there together. Love it!

We love to have a leisurely Saturday morning breakfast as a family at a local diner. It's super kid-friendly and not too expensive. It's so nice to be able to hang out and ease our way into the weekend after a long and hectic week!
