FAMILY TIME

APRIL 2026

“It is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities.” —L. Tom Perry  

  

April Showers bring May flowers and 80+ hand-picked observances to get you celebrating, exploring and enjoying great family time this Spring including Couple Appreciation Month, National Humor Month, Ellis Island Family History Day, Siblings Day, Husband Appreciation Day, Kiss Your Mate Day, National Reconciliation Day, National Public Health Week, National Volunteer Week, Arbor Day (when we’re encouraged to plant more trees), Earth Day (which raises awareness about protecting the environment), Encourage a Young Writer Day and Hairstyle Appreciation Day.


You can turn these observances into great Family Time by having a discussion, doing some research, making a game of it, creating a meal around it, inventing an activity around it, getting the whole family involved, and just having fun!
