Make the Most of Limited Family Time #JuicyJuiceCrew #FamilyTime

Like with many families, it’s often challenging for mine to spend family time together with everyone’s schedules. During the week, my eldest daughter partakes in Tae Kwon Do, religion, and piano classes after school. I’m busy creating content for my blog, running the household, and caring for my two girls — including an active toddler. My husband has a long commute from New York City so he arrives home late, sometimes after the kids are already asleep. It can be difficult to find substantial quality family time.
The weekends aren’t much better. On Saturdays, there’s more Tae Kwon Do and dance classes. Chinese School fills up the day every Sunday. With Spring upon us, we wanted to enjoy the new season together but didn’t know when and where.
But this past weekend, the stars aligned. Spring Break meant there was no American or Chinese school classes. Weather in New York cooperated, and we were finally jacket-free. My husband was home. It was time to seize the moment!
I quickly searched our summer storage bins for the bubble machine, bubble solution, and sidewalk chalk. I grabbed a basket and filled it with Juicy Juice drinks while my husband warmed up the grill. Everyone was more than happy to be outside in the yard together, especially my kids who had been itching to play.
And play they did.
After a while of hard playing, the kids were parched and needed a drink. They grabbed a Juicy Juice pouch and box. It was so convenient to not worry about cups and spills. My kids loved the taste of Juicy Juice, the iconic kids’ beverage brand that families have enjoyed for 40 years. As a mom, I was happy to know that the sweetness of the drinks came only from the fruit. There was no added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, or artificial sweeteners.
The kids noshed on fruit, cheese, and crackers while hubby grilled chicken and potatoes. It was a blast having all of us together, playing with the kids, and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces. We didn’t have to travel or spend a lot of money to experience family time. We just needed to make the most of our limited time together. That formula was enough to create laughs, happiness, and memories.
