Being a parent is the toughest, most exciting, and most rewarding job there is in the world. It does not matter if you happen to have been a teen parent or have been planning for a baby for years, no one is completely prepared for a baby. All we can hope to do is to be less unprepared. We can try to take advice from friends and family about how raising a kid is going to be and although when they tell you that you might be spending two hundred a month on the new arrival, it does not compare to the stress of realizing you spent double that the first month. Although you would think it gets easier as they grow it actually gets harder as they begin to become more mobile. And as the years go by and they start to hang out more with their friends and are always on the phone you may start to look back at those years where they would run around with out their diapers, and you find yourself wishing you had more of those times. But, before you know it they are off to college and you are walking them down the aisle into the arms of some guy that better be good enough for your daughter.

That is why we have to make the good times last while we have them. It is important to build strong bonds and strong relationships with our children while they are still young. Because believe me when we are old and gray and looking back on how we lived our lives we will not be thinking about all the long hard hours we spent climbing to the top of the company, instead we will think about our families and the good times we had, or did not have. Or all the times we chose work over monopoly with the kids.

Even if this may be you will still have time to give our children the affection they crave. It is good to spend time with our kids whenever we have it. Children do not care what you are doing as long as you are doing it together. One good project that me and my kids love is our fall time fun bags. Fall time fun bags our simple to make and you get to knock out two birds with one stone. All you do is rake up the leaves and stuff them in an old duvet set, something big queen duvet covers or up would make great fun bags. You stuff the duvet cover full until you packed it as big as it can go and then zip it closed. After that you can jump on it or toss people on it or do dramatic action flick falls on it. We have an absolute blast with our fall time fun bags and the great part about it is we get to spend time together as a family and knock out some chores while we do it. So remember it does not mater what you are doing just make sure you do it as a family.
