Family Bedtime Stories

It is bedtime.

You are scrambling around with the last few kid details, pre-bed.

I want a story!

You are in NO mood to read the favorite book.  The book that has been read faithfully for the last kajillion nights.

It is time for a new book!

Family Bedtime Stories Grab a photo album.  It doesn’t matter which one.  It can be the one of the family beach vacation or in our case, the day trip to Dinosaur Valley {a National Park a few hours away}.

Tuck in the kid(s) and open a memory…

Reading family stories is sure to please – both kid(s) and the reader.  Family stories can be embellished and expanded.  Family stories can grow into family legends.

Make your photo albums the most read books in the house.

Moms throughout the ages have given a LOT of advice.

I remember when I was in grade school my mom started exercising and drinking 8 glasses of water a day.  I can still picture that blue semi-opaque glass that was perpetually by the sink.

Drink more water!

We are excited to be a part of Mom's Pure Wisdom on Nestle Pure Life Facebook Page.  

Stop by and share some mom wisdom {or see what other moms recommend}.

Go!  I am a mom and I say so :).
