for Birthday Party
Planning ALL Year Long!
NEPA Family Magazine Bir thday Par ty Guide 2014 12
The Birthday Wish RevisitedTry this new birthday tradition in your family to foster long-term goal setting and an attitude of exploration: ask the birthday boy or girl to answer a bucket list question such as “what do you most want to do in the next year?” You may also phrase it as, “What do you look forward to now that you are x years old?” Write down the answer. Then post it somewhere as a reminder of his or her hope for the year.
Get RegisteredOur schedules are never more open to possibility than during activity registrations. And clubs, organizations and others conduct sign-ups multiple times throughout the year. Use those occasions to not only register for an activity that your child has not yet tried (a new sport, a foreign language class, etc), but also as a reminder to check an item off your family bucket list. It’s a perfect reminder to discover a new venture for the entire family. Sign up for a class together, plan a weekend outing, buy tickets to a concert. Given the regularity of registrations as a reminder, you will be less likely to let much time pass between family bucket list adventures. And it goes without saying that those shared family adventures bring families that much closer. When family members rely on the support of one another to accomplish new goals and share in the overall experience, the bonding that occurs is powerful.
Celebrate Good TimesIt is not that we aren’t marking our days with meaningful activities. Usually it is more that the pace of modern life necessitates moving on quickly to the next thing. Making a tradition of celebrating what we have accomplished – as individuals and as a family – can help us appreciate the richness of our experiences. And the beginning and end of the school year provide natural junctures for celebration.
At the end of the school year, look back on the growth during those ten months. Reflect on favorite memories. Make the last day of school a celebration of both the completion of the school year, and the accomplishment of any goals. Acknowledge also any firsts not yet reached as experiences to anticipate for the future.
As summer comes to an end, take the time to recap favorite vacation moments as part of your back-to-school tradition. Talk about new skills learned, new places visited and any other experiences of note from the summer. Share the stories now. You’ll find the exercise sharpens your memory of those significant events into the future.
You may not be able to slow the countdown timer on your kids’ childhoods. But with traditions like these on your side, you’ll freeze those meaningful moments as you go along. And striving to reach family goals together creates opportunities for communication and bonding like none other.
Lara Krupicka is a mother of three and author of Family Bucket Lists: Bring More Fun, Adventure & Camaraderie Into Every Day.
Often moms lament how busy life can be. The
common theme is one of being carried along by the calendar. But it is possible to weave the ‘meaningful’ in between the ‘everyday stuff’ of carpools and play dates. You can have a sense of living life together, not just doing life. The key? Capitalizing on birthdays and other regularly occurring events as opportunities to make and live your bucket lists.
Consider these three ways your family can seize opportunities to live a meaningful goal-oriented life:

940 Saturdays plus 1,656 summer vacation days equals your kid’s childhood. How are you spending those days?
