Winter

Paint sugar cookies! One of my favorite things to do is eat cookies. I also like challenging my kidsand myselfto learn in “out-of-the-box” ways. A simple painting cookie party involves basic science, engineering, production and event planning & execution skills. And, ART! These are all great things to introduce your children to while they are young.

Have a movie day at home. With a million different avenues at the tips of our fingers these days, sometimes what we really need is a pajama day, on the couch watching movies with our loved ones.

While the list above may feel short, I challenge you to do one new thing with your family before this year is over. Whether it is from this list or another, challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and try something you normally would not do. You never know, you may just find that you’re really good at something you never dreamed you would be good at. For me, I learned I was really good at eating the completed cookies.
