I like to think that I’m generally a happy person. I like to think that I’m spreading happiness wherever I go, whether it be at work, with family, or out in public. I try to smile at strangers and say “hello” to passers-by.

I have three nieces, all over the age of 12, and when I found this “activity list” on Pinterest, I immediately thought of them. This list is great for kids of all ages! This list also has some great ideas for families.
