It's Friday night and the kids are finally asleep. You just changed into your comfy pajamas, popped some popcorn, and are settling in to watch Netflix or curl up with a great book. It has been a week. Regardless of whether you toughed it out in corporate America, or you were out-manned and outgunned at home with your kids, the end result is the same: You are exhausted. So, when your partner casually asks you what family adventures are planned for the weekend, your first instinct is to retreat under a blanket and declare a 'do-nothing weekend' for the family. After all, you need to clean the house, the kids need time to actually play with their toys, and honestly, there is nothing wrong with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse marathon every once in a while, right? Allow me the opportunity to change your mind. You see, when it comes to family fun, there is absolutely nothing wrong with down time and 'do-nothing' days. However, if you aren't careful, the do-nothing day becomes a do-nothing month. A do-nothing month becomes a season that comes and goes with missed opportunities instead of phenomenal memory making. Someone once calculated that there are 936 Saturdays between when a child is born and when they turn 18. 936 days. That's it. Granted, not every weekend has to be jam-packed with memory making events. However, I would like to encourage you to shift your thinking, overcome your exhaustion,and when it comes to family fun... Just go for it!
