I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Welch’s. I received product samples to facilitate my review, a gift code to giveaway, and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
One of my family’s all-time favorite things to do is to go hiking and exploring the Great Smoky Mountains. Hiking anywhere, really, but we live near the beautiful Smoky Mountains and try to take advantage of them every chance we get.
Hiking is a great family bonding time… not to mention great exercise. It’s also good for the mind and spirit being outdoors, breathing fresh air, and exploring nature. So we do it every chance we get… and I think we’ve made some great family memories for our son.
The photo above is so near and dear to me. It’s my screensaver on my laptop and iPad. We went for a hike on the Greenbrier Trail where there is an old one-room school room and a couple miles hike past it is the Walker Sister’s old home place. We’ve done this hike several times. It’s such a fun hike and we always see something new each time.
Another way we make family memories is to gather at the “kitchen table”. Or in our case, the kitchen counter. I love the special moments we share with our son when we share a meal together. Even if it’s just a bowl of cereal or a sandwich… it’s a great time to relax and share with each other how our day is going.
Dinner time is an especially good time to see how my son’s day has been. We ask him to share his “best” moment of the day, and his “worst” moment of the day. And my son usually doesn’t have a “worst” moment. When he does, it’s usually something like, “It rained and we couldn’t go outside for recess.”
If that’s the worst thing about his day, well… shew. I can live with that.
Welch’s has just launched a new movement called “Share what’s good™” It’s all about sharing those special moments that occur each day with family, friends and loved ones – whether it’s at home or on the go.
