New Year’s Resolutions to Make With Your Family

resolutionsWe often make resolutions to better our lives, but it can be just as fun to make resolutions with others! One of the best ways to have a great year ahead is to make resolutions with your family. Need some idea? We have a few that the entire family will love.

 

Make a Family Bucket List

Why not make a bucket list the entire family can enjoy all year long? Spend an afternoon writing down a list that you can all come up with together. Whether it’s a trip to an amusement park or board game night, let the ideas flow! You can even write down fun things to do on little pieces of paper and place them in a jar. Instead of debating on what to do for the evening or weekend, have someone choose from the jar! Now, you’ll never be bored again. Plus, you can spend quality time with your loved ones.

 

Start a Weekly Ritual

We all lead pretty busy lifestyles, which means that it can be pretty challenging to spend time with the closest people in our lives. That’s why starting a weekly ritual is a great resolution to implement. Whether it’s creating a weekly movie night or a morning walk together, find one small thing the family can do together and stick with it.

Whether you’ve never seen this ballet or you’ve seen it a hundred times, this one never goes out of Christmas style.

 

Besides being a timeless tale for all ages, Ballet Arizona is going big this year. There will be more than 150 performers, beautiful costumes, and some of the top nationally recognized dancers. From magical journies to toys that come to life, The Nutcracker is non-stop entertainment. Even better, the Phoenix Symphony will be performing alongside with live music accompaniment. The New York Times described it as one of the “finest productions” in the United States. That’s saying something.
