Family life can get hectic, but a little planning can go a long way!

1. Map out everyone’s activities: Set up a weekly calendar on the fridge and mark down each family member’s activities/appointments in a different color.

3. Load up your snack central Store all the family snacks in the same spot for easy access between meals.


4. Divvy up the chores Distribute the chores for the week and make sure each family member knows what he or she is in charge of.


5. Don't forget the fun! Decide on one night to do a fun family activity together; everyone will look forward to it.

The key to snacking is preparation and planning.
Here are suggestions to help satisfy your afternoon appetite!

Rice cakes and peanut butter
Crunchy, gooey, and sweetly satisfying!

Avocado toast
Sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top. Yum!

Yogurt with granola
Add some fruit to make it even more delicious.

Pita chips with hummus
Try different flavor combos to switch things up.

Crudités and light dip
Cut up some carrots, cucumbers, and celery, and keep them in a container, ready to eat!

This year, make small resolutions that will boost your overall happiness!

Practice gratitude.

Note three things you're grateful for every day before going to bed. It’s nice to reflect on what we have, rather than always thinking about what we don’t. Enjoy the little things!

Reach out to loved ones.

Even if you can’t see them in person, it’s always nice to connect with the people you care about. Make a quick phone call to friends or relatives you haven’t seen in a while, write someone a long email, or even an old-fashioned letter sent by mail. It’s a little gesture that goes a long way.

Take the time to disconnect.

Set aside some time every day where you switch your electronic devices off and give yourself some breathing space. Read a book, do some coloring, or work on your gratitude journal.

Bootie slippers
Your feet will be so toasty and comfortable that you’ll never want to take them off!

Fluffy bathrobe
