Ways to serve your family

​We are so excited to announce a new four-week series of blog posts about Ways to Serve your Family, Friends, Church, and Community! This week, I’m going to share ideas with you on how to serve your family. Enjoy! 

1. Read to or play with a younger brother or sister 
2. Before you do something fun, walk around the house and tidy up
3. Help make a meal
4. Do an extra chore that doesn’t get done often, like wiping the baseboards
5. Tell mom and dad how much you appreciate them
6. Ask your family members if there is anything you can help them with 
7. Leave encouraging notes around the house
8. Pull weeds around the house 
9. Do a chore or leave a fun surprise, like a note or dessert, for a family member who is having a rough day 
10. Help make a grocery list and find coupons for things your family normally buys
11. Slip one of your old toys or books into a younger sibling’s toy bin for them to enjoy 
12. Make a scrapbook or photo collage to help your family remember a special trip or holiday
13: If you know how to sew, sew buttons back onto clothing and mend holes to extend the life of your family’s clothing
14. Spend extra time caring for your pets
15. Plant a garden or grows herbs and vegetables in pots 
16. Learn some song/hand games to play with toddler and preschool aged siblings in the car
