With the new year fast approaching most people may not be thinking about making resolutions as of yet.

Get outside every day if possible to enjoy the fresh air and surrounding nature. If you cannot get outside because of weather or another reason then try some fun physical activities such as hide and seek, indoor bowling, or throwing and catching a ball.

4. Serve meals together

Get everyone involved during mealtimes. There is enough tasks for all family members to be involved. The table needs to be set, water and condiments have to be placed, food platters brought out, clearing the table after the meal has finished. 

5. Have a game night

Once a week, get everyone together and pick out a board game that whole family can take part in. There are tons of board games suitable for sevel different age groups. For children who are two young team them up with older siblings or a parent.

There are so many worthy organizations you can help out with. Depending on what your community has you can get involved in helping an animal shelter, food bank, elder's home, hospital, or homeless shelter.

7. Start a new hobby

There are several hobbies out there in which the whole family can take part in. Completing a project together as a family is a great way to learn new skills, become more patient, and increase self-confidence. 

8. Do something nice for your neighbors

Do you know your neighbors? If not get to know them. Drop by with a plate of baked treats, offer to help when they are mowing the lawn, or simply invite them over for a coffee or meal. A little kindness goes a long way.

9. Read 

Feed your brain and stimulate your mind with knowledge on a wide variety of topics. Find books that interests you and then dedicate time daily to read. Set aside 30 minutes before your chidren's bedtime for reading together as a family.
