You want more quality time with your family. Everyone is always SO busy rushing everywhere.
With school, work, the gym and homework, it’s hard to find a time to sit down and be together.
However, maybe your time together never goes quite like you hope. If the kids start arguing or the toddler goes nuclear, these tips will give you the BEST CHANCE at a great, sane family game night with quality family bonding.
Oh, and did I mention peanut butter caramel brownies filled with M&M’s® Peanut Butter?
I used to dream of family nights when I was younger. My mom, my dad, my sister and I sitting around and playing a board game while happily munching on popcorn or cookies. You know? That idyllic scenario.
However, it never happened. My sister usually got a little antsy, then I, being the “mature” older sibling, said something to spur her on and then before we knew it the game board would be upside down and my sister would be screaming at me from across the room.
We always ditched the board game and watched TV instead.
Sigh.. kids.
I have the same problems now as a parent. My kids are 7 and 2 1/2. While my ideas never go completely according to plan, I have found that the following tips will make a family night more successful.
The first tip is the most important.

Great tips! My kids are 3, 6 & 7 and while close enough in age the 3 year old does tend to be the wild card on game night! Well fed kiddos definitely make our game nights much more enjoyable! #client
