Family Time 05-2025

"No amount of money or success can take the place of time spent with your family." - Unknown

May’s holidays and observances will have you loving, laughing, praying, renewing, barbecuing, biking, reading, game playing, tap dancing, chicken dancing, pizza partying, flower watering, mate dating, loving yo’ momma, bro, sis…and so much more. With over 80 listed observances—and Spring’s welcoming warm weather—it’s time to have great fun time with the family.

Want to know how to turn these observances into great FAMILY TIME? Have a discussion, do some research, discover something new. Make a game of it, make a meal of it, create an activity around it, get the whole family involved, and don’t forget to make it fun.
