We know from experience that putting more play in your every day works.
When my 3 kids were young, I planned hundreds of themed playtime, holiday and party days.
That Good Times Glue still brings us together to celebrate seasonal holidays even though we are spread out.
And when we get together we spend so much time reminiscing & laughing about the crazy things we’ve done.
The best part of all? My adult children spend time together – just them and their friends – for special events and trips.
They are applying Good Times Glue to new relationships and creating more happy memories that will last their lifetime.
