We think there is way to much “screen time” in our lives. So one way we combat it is to pull out board and card games. In doing so, years ago we discovered a whole new world outside of games that you get at Walmart. Check out a local game store and you’ll see a whole new world of fun.

Our family started doing video reviews of some of the games we really enjoy playing together – http://www.TheBoardGameFamily.com

Nothing can beat spending time together as a family. That’s where the bonds that last are forged. You love what you spend time with. So if you want to love your family, then take the time to be with them. And not just in the same room watching a screen, but talking and enjoying laughter.

Thank you for the great ideas!

Near the end of every day at camp, each family has time alone for “Family Sharing.” This is a really informal time where each person in the family has a chance to answer three questions What was your high point today? What was your low point today? What was your closest moment to God today? Everyone takes a turn and can answer one, two, or three of these at his or her own level. It is such a great way to connect at Camp that we have brought it home and used these questions over many, many dinners, car rides, bedtimes, whenever we want to connect. These three little questions have been great for our family. When our daughter went away to college, she even instituted nightly “Roommate Sharing,” using these same three questions.
