This past month’s goals proved incredibly difficult to meet.
As with other families involved in this challenge, life seemed to get the best of of us this month. While we did spend a good deal of time engaging in kith and kin related activities; unfortunately, these activities were not as purposeful as we had hoped.
We did engage in the hike the kids had requested, created a shelter in the living room, answered countless random questions, and built many a fire; we (dad especially) sought to engage in some level of structured learning experiences as well. This is where we feel we have continued room for growth.
Because of this, we have decided to stick with this value family for another month. The activities we are most interested in focusing on this next month include:
*Hiking (using jet boil, animal tracks, map reading, etc.)
*Educational activities (reading, puzzling, lego building, etc.)
*Engaging in supportive relationship building/growth as siblings/kind people
We will commit to planning at least one activity weekly, with the kids input, for at least one purposeful, meaningful growth activity per week. (with the hopes of continuing to encourage kith and kin and growth throughout the week.)
We hope we can find a way to integrate the busy holiday season and our goals of living our values daily (so many ways to give during the season, but also so many ways to get lost in the materialism.)
