Hello New Year! We’re looking forward to a year of connection, memories, laughter, adventure and FUN. Here are 14 resolution ideas to inspire your New Year kick-off…

  1. Schedule Family Game Night. Board games are a great way to engage kids (and adults) of all ages. Screen-free, fun & funny. Click here to shop some of our favorite games.
  2. Cook Together. Make dinner (or breakfast) a family affair. Engage the munchkins in menu planning, supermarket shopping & meal prep. Click here for some fun recipes.
  3. Explore Nature. Visit your local beach, take a family walk or check out a Florida National Park.
  4. Read as a Family. Read before bed, listen to audio books in the car, visit the library – reading is the ultimate family activity. Click here to check out our book recommendations.
  5. Volunteer as a Family. Giving back is good for kids & adults of all ages. Check out one of our favorite websites to find munchkin-friendly volunteer ideas.
  6. Optimize Screen Time. Screen time is inevitable – make the most of it by watching/playing as a family. We love family movies, Fibbage & Psych.
  7. Start a Garden. We love this indoor herb garden to engage young (and older) munchkins in the science of nature.
  8. Learn a New Skill. Try painting, learn a new language, check out a new sport. Learn something new as a family unit.
  9. Create a Memory Jar. Once a month fill a jar with a note about something memorable from the past four weeks. Read all the notes at the end of the year.
  10. Stay Active. Take family walks, visit parks, go hiking. Celebrate fitness as a family.
  11. Plan Random Acts of Kindness. Pay for someone in line behind you, leave a note of praise or gratitude for a stranger, do something good anonymously.
  12. Launch a Family History Project. Create a family tree, interview a grandparent or pick one relative to learn more about.
  13. Create a Family Travel Bucket List. Think big (new cities & countries) and small (new parks, local neighborhoods).
  14. Find Fun Things to Do in Your Community. Click the name of your city to find local events: Miami, Broward, Palm Beach, Tampa Bay, Central Florida and Jacksonville.
