I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited that the holidays are here! There’s one thing that I always think of when I think of the holidays, and that is FAMILY! So, I thought I’d share a simple Family Night idea on being GRATEFUL our families! Because after all, our families are what’s most important! Right?!
This game is as simple as it appears: print out the scripture and two sets of the matching cards. Whoever makes the match has to describe an example of someone with that gift! A fun family night game, perfect for delving just a little deeper into these important verses.
Because Disneyland is not something families get to do all of the time, it’s important to know which Disneyland splurges are worth it and which aren’t. You’re way less likely to overspend on your Disneyland vacation if you make a plan and know what you’re getting into. So, to help make your planning a little easier, I’ve put together a list of three Disneyland splurges that are totally worth it in my opinion, and a couple that aren’t.
This season is a busy time, but don’t let the chance to plan for meaningful projects slip by. It’s a great time of year to plan to give to others, from drawing names for a family “Secret Service Santa” game to a Random Acts of Kindness campaign. This year I’m helping out with a canned food drive with friends from work, so I thought it timely to share a post on how to plan a food drive.
Have you ever watched a scary movie or, a movie that is so intense that you are on the edge of your seat with anticipation? What is it that makes your heart pound and your pulse quicken? You will soon find out! We are going to talk about the affects of music on our mood in tonight’s Family Night lesson.
It’s no secret in my family that Halloween is my very favorite holiday. In fact, if we’re being really honest…I’m completely obsessed with the entire month of October! I enjoy helping my kids plan what they are going to dress up as each year, visiting the pumpkin patch, baking yummy treats and making Halloween themed crafts. So, I thought it would be fun to share our Halloween bucket list as a printable for you today. Hopefully it gives you some ideas of things to do to keep busy this Fall.
Hi everyone, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today! And today, we have a special surprise for you all – It is that time of year already where we need to start thinking about the holidays. I think one of the best surprises for Christmas is a Disneyland vacation! So to help you reveal the big gift to your family, we have three free and easy Disneyland vacation surprise printables to go along with three ideas we came up with.
We’ve recently moved and I’ve noticed how the stress and chaos of it all has started to affect our family. We’ve had more contention, less patience and you know the rest of the story. We all have those periods of time in our families.
One night recently, we sat down as a family and I asked the simple question, “What makes a strong family?”. One by one we talked about that question and made some decisions of things we could do to strengthen our family. That sparked an idea for a Family Night, so that’s what I’m going to share with you this month.
I get a kick out of the vanity plates I see around town, especially ones with creative spelling.
So I thought it would make a fun game to capture and translate license plates! I can’t guarantee that any of these are actually real, although there are rumors that these plates are truly on the road. You could use this easy-to-print license plate quiz for your family, a classroom game, or for your Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.
Hello! It’s Veronica and I’m so happy to be back! For many, including us, school just started again. (WHERE DOES THE SUMMER GO?!) But, many of you still have a few more weeks of summer left. I thought I would share one of our favorite back to school traditions with you. This back to school Family…
t’s just about time for the kids to head back to school—if they haven’t already started! From meeting the teachers, to checking out textbooks for the year, to shopping for school supplies, I’m spending a lot of time thinking about learning and study. I recently ran into a great article with seven learning strategies used by kids and how they can help everyone learn better. I love the idea of incorporating childlike learning strategies into lifelong learning, but as I was pondering how to adopt some of these skills into my life, I realized that each of the seven strategies could revitalize scripture study as well!
The Summer Olympic Games have begun! It’s so fun watching people who are so amazingly talented and who love what they do! Since the games started, we’ve been watching them together as a family in the evenings and really enjoying it! So far my son loves the swimming and is mesmerized by the gymnastics. I think it’s great for our kids to watch these athletes achieve their dreams. I also love that they get to hear some of the athletes’ stories and learn that their lives haven’t always been all that easy and that hard work and dedication can take you so far in life!
