The Happy Housewives Club Fun 50s
Over the Thanksgivings holiday, I was thinking about some of the great items on the new “Winter Fun 50″ list that we are building.
I realized that we are really great mamas, all of us here at the Happy Housewives Club. I know we aren’t all doing everything. But we are trying, and we are getting better.
So, I wanted to describe the Fun 50 list: it’s purpose, its criteria, and its origin.
Last spring/early summer, many of us were chatting back and forth about the things our kids like to do. All of a sudden it hit me: We WATCH our kids do things. At some point, mamas became the cheerleaders and stopped being on the team. So, when the original “Summer Fun 50″ began, it was a reminder to us, all of us, to do things with our kids. That is the greatest gift we can give them.
That covers the purpose and the origin. The criteria for items on the list generally should be activities that aren’t cost-prohibitive. They also should be things that we either used to do as children or wish we could have done with our own mamas and daddies. And last, it should be things that you actually plan to do!
So, go check out the Winter Fun 50 thread on the forums to add your fun ideas to the ever-growing list.
And make sure you come back to the Parenting Page in the next week because the final Winter Fun 50 List will be completed.
