I’ll admit, chilling out on the rules isn’t easy for me. I thrive amidst order and crumble under chaos so it’s not often that the kids can puppy dog face me into giving in. I may be the drill sergeant but at least the homework gets done.

But wait a minute, is that the mom I’ll be remembered as? The mom with a stick up her butt who needed a lesson in fun? God, I hope not!

Kids are all about fun and since they’re the ones who really know all about living, I took a cue from my kids and developed this list of how to create some awesome family fun. Best part is, none of this stuff involves a new gaming system or a second on my mortgage!
