Family Game Night!

I wanted to start the tradition of having family game night. Not only doing that more with my own little family and friends, but getting together more with family that lives nearby. I think we need to spend more time together and not only get together on important occasions, but get together once a month, switching houses each month and having some fun together by playing some fun family games! What do ya think? Does your family do this?

I know there are a lot of fun board {type} games. I also love games that you need nothing to play that are silly and creative. Here are a few little links that I found for a few different ideas: Here, Here & Here.

I'd like to know what you and your family does for fun and if you have any games that you really love. Give me your ideas, I can't wait to hear them!!

Reward Systems

I lOVE Organization and rewarding good behavior in my home and I tried THIS great idea with a point system for chores and good behavior with my kids. They actually love it! You can change it to personalize it for your own family. It's also great with setting a time limit for playing there DS' and things like that. (example- it costs 15 tickets to play your DS for 30 minutes). They earn the tickets by having good behavior and doing their chores, etc.
Try it out and let me know how it works for you or any other ideas you come up with. I also Love, Love, Love THIS blog & I can't wait to try this Rewards Points System Idea out. I'd love to hear what you've tried and what works for you and your kids!!
