12 Winter Family Traditions You’ll Want to Start!

A Better Life Lived Posted on January 9 by About KiraFebruary 11
Photo of mom and child in Winter with text overlay "12 winter family traditions you'll want to start!"

It’s no secret that winter is not my favorite season. In the Midwest, it’s so cold, snowy, and long. So, so long. It can feel like it takes forever for Spring to finally get here. One great way to make it through the long, cold days of Winter are with some fun Winter family traditions! Why start family traditions in Winter? Winter is a fantastic time to start some new family traditions. Why? Because as busy moms, finding time to do new things can be super difficult. Winter, however, gives us some of our time back. During the Summer, there are so many things to do. It goes by so fast and the list of activities and events we want … More…

A Better Life Lived Posted on September 5 by About KiraFebruary 11
Arts and Crafts supplies with text overlay: 9 Fun & Easy Fall Crafts for Kids! I love #9!

I love Fall. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that Winter is lurking around the corner, it would absolutely be my favorite season. With the weather cooling down, it’s the perfect time to grab the kids and start doing some Fall arts and crafts! To get you started, I’ve compiled a list of some of the cutest Fall crafts for kids! Arts and crafts are great any time of year, of course. I wanted to find some that would get us ready for all of the changing leaves, apples & pumpkins, and crisp air. We love rock painting and hiding, but that will probably more of a Summer project since it’s partly an outdoor activity and it gets … More…

Why a 5k is the Best Way to be Active as a Family

A Better Life Lived Posted on July 25 by About KiraFebruary 12
Family participating in 5k

There are two things that I am constantly trying to do more of. One is finding ways to be more active that don’t suck. The other is finding fun things to do as a family that don’t cost an arm and a leg, like our movie nights. My favorite combined way to complete both of these, and help us be active as a family is to participate in a local 5k race! There are tons of ways to be active as a family, but participating in a 5k is my favorite for lots of reasons. We try to do at least one every year. This August, we’re participating in the Hank Aaron State Trail 5k in Milwaukee. We’ve done this … More…

Cheap Outdoor Summer Activities for the Whole Family

A Better Life Lived Posted on May 21 by About KiraDecember 17
Looking for fun things to do this summer as a family, without spending a ton of money? Check out this list of cheap outdoor Summer activities for the whole family!

I live in a Midwestern state that experiences far more cold, snowy weather than warm. And although I have plenty of ideas for things to do in Winter, it’s mostly for inside. Naturally, I feel extra compelled to make the most of the time I can spend outdoors once Summer comes. I am constantly looking for cheap, outdoor summer activities to get my family out of the house. It is also my goal to come up with ideas that don’t cost a ton. Cause as much as I’d love to spend all summer at theme and water parks, Mama’s got bills to pay. So that’s not happening. And since you’re here, I’m assuming you feel the same way. To help … More…

5 Simple, Fun and Inexpensive ways to Celebrate Father’s Day

A Better Life Lived Posted on June 5 by About KiraFebruary 13
5 wonderful ideas to celebrate Father's Day! Love these!

Father’s Day is a special day. It’s one day we’re provided an opportunity to drop everything and focus on our husbands. To let them know how much we appreciate them, how much the children appreciate them, and how much they are loved. How you celebrate Father’s Day is super important. As mom’s we’re often given a lot of the credit. Everyone always talks about how hard a mom’s job is. How we “do it all.” But what about a dad’s job? In our home, there is no division between mom’s or dad’s job. Our home is about family and that’s how we function. As a unit. As a team. So it’s equally important to me to celebrate Father’s Day with … More…
