WAYS TO BRING FAMILY TOGETHER- NO MATTER WHERE EVERYONE LIVES

When we reminisce about our younger years, the best times are those with family. Sure, best friends are best friends but nothing replaces family. In today�s ever-distracting world, it�s easy to fall into the trap of staring into a smart phone when your son or husband is sitting right next to you, but keeping a family together no matter where everyone lives starts early. This means having meals together at home and regular �dates� where the family enjoys indoor or outdoor activities together.

Close By Family

For those who have family members close by, you�re already at an advantage. Have a regular family night on one day of the week if possible. Just make it a new date and have everyone over for dinner or go see a movie. Log onto the internet and look up some fun recipes and invite everyone over to help cook and eat. The more the merrier. Raucous, fun gatherings make family get-togethers something to look forward to.

Not So Close By Family

This is the challenge, especially when the first child leaves for college and can be several hours and a few time zones away. Everyone today has a computer that comes with a camera and mic. Take advantage of the various online meetup applications like Google+ or others that link everyone up on the same screen for a chat. And set up a regular date and time for everyone to join so family members can schedule around it.

Does your son or daughter have a favorite meal you cooked for them when they lived at home? Nothing tastes like home more than home-cooking. If there is a favorite recipe of yours that you made, write it down and encourage them to make it and share with friends.

Getting and keeping a family together means consistently coming up with new ideas to share on a regular day of the week or month. It might take a little practice at first to get into the routine, but regular communication and visits creates fond memories.
