FAMILY TIME

September is when we try to stretch-out the last days of summer, focus on back-to-school learning, begin thinking about or continue planning our next reunion, and searching for more ways to have fun with the family. This September we’ve listed over 70 holidays and observances that you can turn into great family time including Wife Appreciation Day, Grandparent’s Day, Stepfamily Day, Baby Safety Month, Kids Take Over The Kitchen Day, Childrens’ Good Manners Month, Intergeneration Month, Ancestor Appreciation Day, National Love People Day, and Suicide Prevention Month.

September is also host to Hispanic Heritage Month, Labor Day, National Day of Service and Remembrance, National Preparedness Month, Air Force Birthday, Ethnic Foods Month, Hunger Action Month, Clean Up The World Weekend, National Courtesy Month, Respect Day, Good Neighbor Day, National Voter Registration Day, National School Success Month, Family Health and Fitness Day USA,  Self-Improvement Month, Healthy Aging Month, Square Dance Month, and so much more.

Want to turn FAMILY TIME observances into great time with the family? On days that celebrate foods, incorporate them into your meals and show the kids how it’s made. On dates with activities, incorporate them into your daily routine. On all other days have a discussion, do some research, discover something new about the day. Make a game of it, get the whole family involved, and have some fun.
