Family Care is Family Maintenance!
Self care is talked about so much these days and rightfully so. If we aren’t taking care of ourselves, how can we nurture our most important relationships. But then what? Relationship care and family care should also be made a top priority. Family care is family maintenance. Maintaining our familial relationships can be difficult due to the hustle and bustle of life, especially during COVID life. We can become complacent or almost robotic during the mundane ins and outs of our day. Finding time to nurture the most important relationships has to be made a priority. Maintaining familial relationships encourages communication, fun and collaboration.
This is where the Family Care Bucket list comes in!
The Family Care Bucket List is a tool that can be used as a family activity to get everyone’s input on things you all want to do as a family. The Family Care Bucket List can be completed on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. One important key is to get everyone’s input and buy-in. To make the most of your family bucket list, another important key is making a commitment by prioritizing time to spend time as a family and check the activities off your list (turn it into a game to see how quickly your family can check everything off the list).

As a family that had a busy life pre-COVID and being caregivers for our son with type 1 diabetes, we would often get lost in the day-to-day life and when we made it to the weekends, we would be consumed with the never-ending to do list that comes with raising kids and maintaining a home. We are learning to make family care a priority right along with you.
The Family Care Bucket List is a tool to help you and your family make time for fun as a family. Just remember, no matter what you choose to add to your bucket list, the most important thing is making memories as a family!
