Without my family, I’d be pretty dull. I’d go to bed early, enjoy lots of silence, and live a predictable, tidy life. There are days when that sounds like heaven.
Most days, though, I’m grateful for the ways my husband and kids add spice to my life. Here are my favorites.
1. Loud Singing-I’m proud of the fact that inside the walls of our house, there is very little self-consciousness. If no one is home, I might sing in the shower. The rest of my family lives life as though it’s an ongoing talent show.
2. Glow Stick Dance Parties-It’s pretty self-explanatory. We’ve collected a playlist of our favorite anthems along with glow stick wands, necklaces, and bracelets. Lights out. Volume up. Dance like no one’s watching!
3. Jam Tag. This is typically something we do right before bedtime to get out the last wiggles of the day. My husband plugs in the electric guitar and plays heavy metal while the kids run through the house trying to tag each other. There are also slow motion and freeze tag variations. My major role is to know where the keys are so that when someone inevitably crashes and needs to go to the emergency room, I’m ready.
What are ways your family adds spice to your life? How do you share your uniqueness with them?
