Forced Family Fun


Over four years ago, on the day we told our kids we had decided to sell our house and downsize, we made a family dream, a goal, a plan, and this week it all came true.

And when my fourteen year old grabbed my hand in a shop today and I got tears in my eyes, I realized just how much we needed a little FFF.

I'm unplugging from here for a bit, but you can find me on Instagram at lisa_shineyourlight!

Wishing you a beautiful week my friends!!

Have a wonderful adventure and enjoy not only your family, but being unplugged! We use the term Forced Family Fun around here quite a bit, love it and I know that someday those times are the ones my kids will most remember, even if in the moment they are not happy about it!!!

Forcing yourself to have fun in Hawaii sounds do-able! Have some pineapple and macadamia nuts for me! ENJOY every second!
