Family Bonding


I was so busy over the past few weeks that I couldn't go online to post a new blog or check my email and Facebook accounts. However, I had a chance to check yesterday and couldn't resist joining the BC Bloggers Meme hosted by Verna of My Baby, My Star.

I have so many things to share about our family bonding.  We place importance on having quality family time.  We are to admit that budget would affect the activity for family bonding.  But, budget shouldn't hinder our family bonding.  The quality of family bonding will depend on the time spent and how the family activity is shared. 


When on a tight budget, we choose to stay at home and play with the children.  Our favorite activity is playing hide and seek.  We sing and dance together, sit with our children to read books, and play games online or with their favorite toys. On Sundays, after going to church, we rent a movie and watch it together.  When the children get bored at home, it's nice to take them out. Sometimes, we take them to the mall, which is a convenient place for us to go window shopping; we let them visit a toy store so they can play with toys for free! Then we go to their favorite fast food chain. Occasionally, we visit our parents' house, and if time permits, we stay overnight.

We love to stroll for nature trips.  We frequently visit Lipa, Tagaytay, and Laiya since they are the closest spots to our home.  We enjoy sand and water, so we love beaches and resorts.

I still look forward to more family bonding time activities.  I am dreaming one day of being on a cruise together with my family.  For now, I am aiming before the year ends to claim our chosen accommodation at H2O Hotel, paying only the room tax since we became a member of Travel Ventures International.  This is a lifetime membership providing discounts for hotels and resorts around the world and an opportunity of earning while on vacation.  One definite reason why we joined the group.to earn

Share your favorite family bonding moment and join BC Bloggers. I'm sure you have a unique and exciting way to spend quality time with your family or a dream family bonding activity.
