I’m absolutely thrilled to reconnect and visit with my friend, Brittany Beattie for episode 82. Brittany is the brains behind Family F.E.D. (Fun Every Day) an amazing hub of ideas for creating easy and memorable moments at home and I’m guessing as this pandemic and all that is heavy continues to press down on us, you might be interested in some light heartedness and laughter right about now. Yes?

Listen in and hear about the genesis of this undertaking and Brittany’s personal history with and love of all kinds of games. I know you’ll feel inspired to invite more intentional togetherness into your home and family—something you can do in just 5 minutes! And, when you’re done listening, head over FamilyFED.com to get started.

I sat my Addie down in front of the FamilyFED YouTube channel and asked her to select a few games that she thought we could play right away. Here are her choices …

As a BONUS, I found so much research and encouragement for playful parenting and the importance of collaborative imaginative activity for kids of all ages. Here’s the TED PLAYlist and information from the American Academy of Pediatrics. OR click below for 25 ways to be a more playful parent.

Brittany Beattie received bachelor's and master's degrees in English from Brigham Young University. Because of her love for story, she began working as a family history writer to help families compile their family stories into published books. She became an editor and writer for Creating Keepsakes, a book and magazine publisher that helped provide ideas for creating meaningful family scrapbooks. (Here she also had the amazing opportunity to meet the fabulous Stacy Julian!) She became the managing editor of Creating Keepsakes and also helped launch a community-based subscription website for the company. Brittany then became the managing editor of the New Era magazine published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to help strengthen youth in living the gospel of Jesus Christ. Brittany later worked as an audience manager for The Church of Jesus Christ and helped oversee messaging to children, their parents, and their leaders. She founded FamilyFED.com, designed to help strengthen families by making it easy for them to spend quality family time together through family fun every day (the "F.E.D." in Family FED).
