Weekend Graces #3: How to Build a Blanket Fort [Seriously]
ByKelleigh BeckettUpdated on
Every Friday morning I post a small act of love, service, or hospitality to bless the people we live with this weekend. Because it’s the little things that speak volumes of love, isn’t it?
This week’s Weekend Graces’ idea is to build a blanket fort with your family. Seriously. Play board games, read favorite stories, hang party lights, and show your kids that an ordinary day is absolutely something to celebrate.
We did this last Friday and loved it so much that we’ve decided to make it a family tradition. Every Friday night is now pizza/blanket fort/board game night and we’ve been looking forward to it all week long.
So I dare you… Gather up your extra sheets and blankets. Fill a basket with some of the things you might need like clothespins and rope, elastics, and command hooks. Drag the mattresses into the living room, round up some flashlights, and pop some popcorn.
And take lots of pictures, because this season of life you are in, whichever season that is, is fleeting. And so very precious.
