Is your week a drag? Do you find yourself waiting for the weekend to arrive so you can spend quality time as a family? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a simple solution to help you enjoy your time with kids at home. Institute a weekly funday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a fun day you ask? Any day that you determine you will do something fun, is a fun day, or, “funday”. I suggest designating a day of the week and creating a habit of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to do it, suggestions for implementations and tips for success! The details on how and why Monday became our weekly fun day! It’s all about intentions and setting the mood for the week. Plus how you can do the same!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Why I Needed a Fun Day (and you do too)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During certain times of the year it’s really easy to get a walking group together. We have a fantastic foresty park<\/a> nearby with a 5K walking trail that is just perfect for starting off the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that at certain times of the year, it is so hot that no one want to go early enough to beat the heat (myself included). When May rolled around, our walking group disintegrated once again and I was left to occupy our mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re finding that it’s hard to get through the week, you are living for the weekend or you’ve been spending too much time at home, then consider instituting a funday. (It doesn’t have to be Monday)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instituting Monday as Funday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I find that the key to a great week with Baby Boy is a great start and lots of activities outside of the house. And so Monday became Funday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every week we go out for several hours, usually combining an errand or two with something that Baby Boy really loves, like playing at the park or people flirting at a busy coffee shop (it’s like people watching, but Baby Boy likes to flirt with the ladies at the shop). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to make lots of walking for myself so that I can get some exercise in as well and we’re usually both content and tired by the early afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started with a Funday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now your schedule may look totally different than mine, and your ideas of fun might be something different than a walk and a coffee shop. So start with this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is something I enjoy doing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anything you like doing works! It can be an all day affair or something that takes just minutes. As long as it fills your soul, it’s a good choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
