Judith Nelson+FollowThe sweetest snowboarding moment you’ll see todayAva’s snowboarding adventure with her dad is pure joy—she starts by telling him “I love you” before gliding down the slope, all while her dad and big brother cheer her on. The way Ava repeats their encouragement—“I’m safe,” “I’m natural”—shows just how much kids soak up the energy and words around them. Watching this family turn a simple day in the snow into a confidence-boosting, love-filled memory is a reminder of how powerful positive words can be. What’s a moment when someone’s encouragement made a difference for you or your kids? #Sports #ParentingWin #FamilyTime50Share
hfoster+FollowWhy I Ditched Holiday Gifts for Family TimeUsed to obsess over getting the perfect holiday gifts? Same. But now that my kids are teens, all I want is to hang out with them before they fly the nest. I told my family to skip the presents this year and plan a special trip together instead. Turns out, making memories beats unwrapping stuff any day. Anyone else feeling this shift as their kids get older? #Relationships #FamilyTime #HolidayMemories10Share
Robert Garcia+FollowA Christmas That Doesn’t RushWe didn’t do anything big this Christmas. No travel, no big party, no packed schedule. Just a few small traditions we’ve kept over the years. The same movie we always watch. The same meal we make every December. Even the jokes are repeated, and somehow, that’s comforting. It reminds me that not everything has to change to feel meaningful. In between all the noise of daily life, days like this quietly hold things together. Nothing special happened, but nothing needed to. Being here, doing familiar things with familiar people, felt steady. Sometimes Christmas isn’t about creating new memories. It’s about returning to the ones that already feel like home. #ThisIsMyChristmas #ChristmasTraditions #WarmMoments #HolidayAtHome #FamilyTime10Share
Benjamin Contreras+FollowWhy Parents Are Skipping After-School ChaosHave you noticed more parents pulling their kids from after-school programs? It’s not just about saving money—families are craving calmer afternoons. The rush of pickups, activities, and homework is leaving everyone drained. Parents say their kids seem tired and less excited, so they’re choosing quiet time at home, unstructured play, and family bonding instead. Turns out, less hustle means happier, more relaxed kids (and parents!). Would you trade activities for peace at home? #Education #ParentingTrends #FamilyTime00Share
