F.H.Y. Time


Family Time
Pick one day (at least) a week when the family commits to hanging out together.  Sitting together at the dinner table is a great start but why not take it one step further.  Get one of those old board games out of the closet and actually play it.  This is a great way to spend quality time together.

Husband Time
Don't forget about the other person that made having this family possible!  It is important that you stay connected to your spouse and have time to check in with each other on how things are going.  Whether it is taking a 15 minute walk or dedicating a date night, make sure you both stay committed and connected to each other.

You Time
The most important time of all, in my opinion.  Without the ability to take care of yourself you will not be able to take care of everyone and everything else.  Take 30 minutes to meditate; even if that means staying up later or waking up earlier. Take a quick walk by yourself or have a book you can escape to for a few minutes a day.  Maintain your sanity and just remember to take time for yourself!  Trust me, everyone will benefit.

  1. Something we also used to do in our family is play the Wii with the entire family. There are games for all ages that everyone will enjoy. Great advice though!

  2. When I was younger, me and my family would all eat at the dinning room table, but when i am at school i do not have time to come home early to eat supper that is why i am usualy eatting supper late after my family has already eaten there dinner. Do you have any advice for me on what to do about that?
