How to have family fun

When I first became a single mom I struggles with ways to have family fun. I felt very self-conscious going in public because I felt I was being judged. Once I was able to overcome this feeling we had tons more fun.

In the summer months we do lots of different activities that are fun for both of us. We go to the park, the beach, shopping, bike rides (I run beside) walks or just playing outside. We both love the summer so we try to spend as much time outside as we can.

During the colder months we still play outside. We also go skating, watch movies, color, go to the library and very recently we have started skiing. My daughter loves being with people so we try to incorporate this into our fun time as much as possible.

The key for having family fun as a parent is having the ability to let go. You need to be able to relax and forget about adult life for awhile. Kids see things very simply and don’t worry about the things we worry about. Once you are able to do this you will enjoy playing with your children more.
