What Makes a Happy Family?
2 years ago  ::  May 06, 2011 - 12:04PM #1

They say that money can't buy you love, so we assume it can't buy a happy family either...but what DOES make a happy family? (One family we know does a pre-dinner walk or bike ride every night to take the edge off the day and transition into a calmer, more family-friendly evening.)  What are your secrets for keeping your family happy and healthy?

Respect and cuddles! No one wants to be yelled at or ignored and as long as we follow those rules we do pretty good and we are all happier. That and when mama needs a break, she gets one! :) Bath time is also our point in the day where we relax and play and talk about our days.

Hmmm... money couldn't hurt :) But since I quit my job to stay home I'd be hypocritical to say we need it! We just started taking bike rides at night (we bought a bike trailor for the kiddos to sit in) and take walks, too. They love the bike trailor and my husband and I get to ride side-by-side and chat while riding through town. Now that our kids are older (youngest is a year) we are trying to put our marriage first again - and that actually has made us better parents. It's amazing how much happier we all are!
