Hey guys!! Feeling super sentimental and wanted to give you guys some ideas of fun things to do as a family or couple that will lead to learning more about one another & making memories or creating traditions!

1. Cook together! Cooking can be romantic or fun for the whole family. Find a recipe that you've all always wanted to make/try, put on some jams & let the stove simmer!

One of my favorite things to cook with my man is Chili! Each time we always throw in new ingredients and make it a little different. You will have left overs and can brag to the rest of your social circle about your "famous" or "secret" recipe!

What are your favorite things to cook with your loved ones?!

2. Grow a garden! Growing something with your favorite people is so special.

We just planted a small garden as a family. We all were outside digging for rocks and dirt and made little tags to mark what was what!

Each person could be in charge of something different if maybe one person is crafty and the other likes to get dirty- up to you how the work is divided up but either way you will learn together & literally grow!

IMAGINE: How satisfying will it be to share a delicious fresh meal together of your own home grown goodies!

Don't be hesitant if you don't know anything about gardening- there are so many resources out there today that can guide you. The packs of seeds even have directions on them & are super cheap! Hey even ask your crazy older neighbor!

3. Do some art! Today there are so many art instructed events our there that you don't have to be super creative on your own! Check out a wine & paint night or go paint pottery together!

We painted pottery for my birthday this year & it was perfect because I challenged my boyf and we learned that he does have an artsy side- plus each of us has a little token we will keep will us forever!

If you don't want to pay here is a CHEAP & EASY IDEA: collect rocks outside and paint them! Make each other something♡

4. Take a hike! Go explore where you live- no matter if your in the city or in the boonies there is always something that may stick out that hasn't before- go down that one street you guys have never went. Check out a new hiking trail that is local! Fresh air & activity is good for your body and also increases your sex drive ;) two birds; one stone lol.

5. Play a game! A pack of cards is super cheap and there are like 1000 different card games!

Being competitive together as a couple or family is fun and you can make bets! The dishes, to cook, or back massage anyone?! My favorite game to play with my man is sorry! Because I'm really good at it hehe and currently funny faces and sounds is what Leo likes! Play a game but don't kill each other!

Bond with your loved ones & make sweet precious memories! Please share your ways of bonding as a family or couple! Share this article with anyone who could use some ideas - they will be glad you thought of them :)!
