Inside: Discover a list of easy November activities that will help you connect with your kids and have fun together!
“To be in your children’s memories tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today.” (Barbara Johnson)
As parents, it’s so easy to get caught up in all the tasks we need to do every day and miss the opportunity to enjoy our kids more.
The most important goal I have this year when it comes to my family is to remind myself every day to slow down, connect with my kids, and make them feel happy and loved.
And I know that the best way to make this happen is to be intentional about spending quality time with my family.
This is why I decided to create a list of activities to help us connect and bring us closer. And I want to invite you to try it as well!
How is this activity list different
There are plenty of activity lists online, but I wanted something different.
Although I love discovering awesome activity ideas on Pinterest, I realize that I won’t be able to put them into practice every day.
I don’t want to waste time gathering a lot of materials or preparing complicated activities. So I looked for simple activities that we easily enjoy together.
The main goal of using this activity list is to have something easy to do with my kids to connect and have fun together.
You won’t find here “fancy” activity ideas but you’ll certainly discover simple ways to bring more joy and connection to your family!
