It has been some time since my last
post about Me In A Tree, so I figured I should write a quick update
regarding the Family Website geared towards improving relationships
and preserving the family unit.
My family recently went on a 10 day
trip to Alberta, including a two day camping trip to BC. With a
break from technology like that, it makes it a lot easier to focus on
building ties within our family unit. However, I don't know about
you, but I can only afford a trip like that once every year or two.
Me In A Tree is a great way to refocus the family – for FREE in as
little as 30 minutes per week.

My husband has really taken to the
weekly Family Huddle, a fun family meeting which gives each family
member a chance to share what is going on in their life. Now that we
have been doing it for a few months, Jeremy is hooked. We go on the
website almost every week and we follow the guided family huddle.
Each of us get a turn to be heard. We also get to co-ordinate our
schedules and refocus on the real world around us (as keeping the
important things of life in focus has been a challenge for us in the
past).
How are the kids doing? They love it!
Jason and Raina really enjoy getting the responsibility of their own
surprise role at each Family Huddle. They also take the weekly
challenges very seriously and never complain, even if it is “no TV
for a week” or “no junk food for a week.” Their latest
excitement is getting to add their own activities into the schedule,
such as Jason's computer-time, and Raina's playing-with-ponies-time.
They are really learning a lot about time management, days of the
week, and more.
Having a functional family takes a lot
of work, but tools like www.meinatree.com
makes it fun and easier.
It's a great time to be alive! What better way is there to
celebrate life, than with your family?
