Parenting

All parents recognize that their life is basically one never-ending TO DO List. Sometimes there are so many mundane chores that need to be done that its almost impossible to squeeze in the fun stuff.

Several of these lists are meant to ease the completion of those necessary chores.

However, there are several which list numerous TO DOs that offer wonderful opportunities to spend time together bonding as a family. Hopefully, by being able TO DO tasks in a more systematic fashion and by sharing the chores with your children, there will be more available time for the "memory making"!

A Special Tip

Our mothers were right - time really does fly by. And before we know it our children are packing their bags for college. Review the TO DO lists for Family Outings and Family Bonds with your children. Choose two that really appeal to everyone and make a concerted effort to accomplish that TO DO. If possible, make a tradition out of it. Don't try to do everything on the lists - be selective but make sure TO DO a few before you're signing the college tuition check!
