May 10 always leaves us with a good taste in our mouth. Spending time with parents and children is always comforting since a good talk and a delicious dinner always fills our hearts. However, these moments pass like fog: from a moment to another, and they are quite ephemeral since the daily routine and commitments end up overshadowing family fun times and make things a little more causal with our parents and children.
Spending more time with the family encourages the development of the little ones: physical, social, emotional, cognitive, etc.
The moments we spend at home are always revitalizing and give us the opportunity to share at least one moment a day with the family, regularly with mom. Forget labels and never wait again for the next Mother’s Day to have instant quality time with your loved ones. In this post we will share with you some ideas to have a good time with your family without leaving your home.
Take a break in the garden
We always have a couple of chairs in the garden or on our patio. Take a moment to enjoy a good mid-afternoon chat and a cup of coffee; you and mom can catch up and talk about how the day was without any major complications.
Afternoon of games
How long has it been since you had a round of board games with your family? Always fun and it doesn’t need to be a big deal, be it lottery or a game like tourist or monopoly are a good pastime for those afternoons with nothing to do. Take advantage of the space you have in your patio or even in the dining room, so they will have no excuse to have a good time.
Host a homemade dinner
You don’t need to go out to an expensive restaurant or make things too difficult. Which is Mom or Dad’s favorite dinner? Is it too difficult to make? How about a grill option? Be it during the week or at the end of it, your family and you can organize a good lunch or dinner, even cook something all together. In addition to a delicious meal they can enjoy a good after-dinner to chat for a while.
A snack inside
We can always try to do new things, how would you like to dabble in the cake shop? It may not be for everyone, but at least we tried something different. There are hundreds of simple recipes for hot or cold desserts for that mid-afternoon craving. The oven is not as cruel as it seems. In less than 1 hour you can enjoy your creation with a good talk at the table with mom.
Movie night
Don’t lie to us, we can bet you have a nice screen or TV in the living room. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a good movie at night to finish a busy day; popcorn is always a good option.
Would you have thought to have a good time in such a simple way? You probably already do, but there is always time to strengthen family ties through fun activities without leaving your JAVER home.
We hope that these ideas have been to your liking and you can apply them in your new home. We assure you that you are going to have a good time and you will also strengthen trust and communication with your family.
