We need some serious quality family time lately. Life has become really busy and our weekends have been getting away from us. Unless we plan something, we end up sitting around doing house chores or playing on electronics. I have been feeling in a little bit of a funk. I feel like it is easy to get into a family rut of doing the same thing every weekend. I decided to make a change. Every weekend I am going to make family time a priority. To keep me motivated I came up with a list of 52 family fun activities to get you out and enjoy quality family time.
