"Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you." --Ralph Waldo Emerson We've all made mistakes throughout our lives that haven't exactly put us in the best light--like bullying someone in school or telling what seemed like a little white lie. Chances are, however, you probably felt a little guilt and grew because of the situation. I'm an average guy trying to become better in both my  work  and home life.

Create cuddle time. You can’t overdose on hugs. It’s important for families to spend time snuggling in bed together, reading, or talking or playing games.

Make time for activities that have no purpose other than to allow family members to enjoy spending time together. Play gam...
