As a mom of 3 active little girls, I know how difficult it can be to find time to get everyone in one place. Even though it is hard and sometimes almost impossible to get everyone together, it is important that as parents we make it happen. Our kids are only kids for a very short time, so it’s important that we relish these moments. I’d love to share with you how to Create Smile Worthy Moments With These Simple Tips.
I have 3 little girls that are 5, 9, and 11. They are all incredible girls that I wish I could spend every single second of the day with. Sadly, since we live in the real world, I can’t do that but what I can do is create smile worthy moments with my kids, which in turn will create amazing memories. Here are just a few ways that we create smile worthy moments in our family:
- Family Game Night: At least once a month we choose a fun board game or card game to play as a family. Whether someone is winning or losing, there are so many smile-worthy moments that also create a ton of laughter.
- Family Dinner: Even though we cannot always make it home in time for a family dinner when we do we make the best of it. Everyone is assigned a task, such as helping in the kitchen or setting the table. Once dinner is ready, we sit around the table and share our best memories from the past. Oftentimes this brings up quite a bit of laughter and smile-worthy moments.
- Movie Night: Once a month we make sure to gather together and have family movie night. Instead of choosing a newly released movie, we like to choose a movie from when mom and dad were younger. Sometimes the goofiness of the movie selection causes the kids to look at us with quite an expression which in turn brings smiles across our faces.
- Weekend Getaway: It’s not always easy to get away for an entire weekend, but planning a weekend getaway has always created smile worthy moments in our family. A weekend getaway doesn’t have to be expensive. It can be a family camping trip or somewhere local. When my family is together and away from home, we cannot remove the smiles from our faces.
Of course with all of these tips on creating smile-worthy moments, you have to have snacks. With almost every smile-worthy moment that our family has, we make sure to have plenty of Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers. They are always baked with 100% real cheese, do not contain artificial flavors or preservatives, and the color source is derived from plants such as annatto extracted from the reddish seeds of the Achiote Tree. Goldfish are definitely a snack that I can feel good about giving my kids.
