5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, July 3, 2009

In this day and age where parents are so busy running their kids from activity to activity this is a MUST READ! It gives parents ideas of ways to slow down and enjoy life as a family before the kids are grown and gone...which happens in the blink of an eye. I think this book would make an excellent baby shower gift too. I bought it and have done many of the things with my children and we will continue to do them all. It is Christian based but I loved that too!

I think it would be helpful to have this book referenced as a Christian book. I missed that it was published by Faithwords. We found the constant references to God and the Bible a bit much. If I had thumbed through this in a book store I would not have purchased it. Although we did glean a few ideas, many are things we do or have thought of already. It just got old for us with all the "God fuzzies."

I purchased this book for my grown children. It is a great little book, full of simple ideas for having fun with your kids. Except, perhaps, swimming with dolphins, most of the activities are within reach of the common person. A brief narrative accompanies each suggestion explaining its value. A nice guide for parents who want to create memorable experiences with their kids.
