FAMILY TIME

September is when we try to stretch-out the last days of summer, focus on back-to-school learning, think 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 observances, events and holidays that you can turn into great family time including Ancestor Appreciation Day, Daughter Day, Grandparent’s Day, Kids Take Over The Kitchen Day, Love People Day, Good Neighbor Day, Son Day, Stepfamily Day, Wife Appreciation Day, Baby Safety Month, Healthy Aging Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Intergeneration Month, Self-Improvement Month and Suicide Prevention Month.

September is also host to Labor Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Day of Service and Remembrance, National Preparedness Month, Air Force Birthday, Hunger Action Month, World Clean Up Day, National Courtesy Month, Respect Day, Good Neighbor Day, National Voter Registration Day, National School Success Month, Women’s Health and Fitness Day, 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.
