excited
excited to show you more. I can't wait to see pictures keeping company. We're gonna
check in with her shortly but-
first. Parents always talking
about how time flies a little
ones grow up so fast so it's
important make sure you're
savoring the special time
together really creating
memories. We got Cristina
Hernandez here from kidding
around Greenville this morning
with some. Advice on that thanks
for being here. Yeah I love that
I want to go to that. You got to
see the armadillo already the
pixel museum even having fun
this morning I got a thing no
matter what. Your purpose here
before I that sight seeing you
got to do it you wrote an
article about this. You know
importance of making one on one
time with the kids because
you've personally I discovered
ways to strengthen relationships
with. With your children how
important is- actually so
important I mean I grew up so-
so fast like you got to savor.
That time together you know and-
I think you know spending time
together like one on one is
really important and- they're
never going to forget the time
he took them. To access Carolina
meets armadillo and the- and the
laughter that happened I'm- you
recommend take your kids on
dates I like that idea a lot.
That's that's a good way to
create one on one time- what
what kind of data we talk about.
It can be so simple I mean we
got a like to downtown
Greenville we got like bubble
tea one time with my daughter on
I've taken them like paddle
boarding kayaking I've taken
them hiking together we go get
ice cream it doesn't have to be
like this. Huge deal. Garibaldi
reliability. You're going along
the reedy river just seeing the
sights having to sell ice cream
second those are the times when
you can laugh and really
connect. Yeah so my gosh
absolutely and you just one on
one with their child and I am
like that's really important to
have that time together. Yeah
and your article has a list of
things to do get a one on one
time it's no matter where you
live or what your budget is.
What were some of those easy
tips places to go- I actually
like I said go go downtown for
ice cream I mean take on go to
that pixel museum. Right like.
Just adding. Listen listen I'm
totally going to go home and-
you know go to the- zoo. Like
take a byte. Ride do some. To it
doesn't have to be. Cute I mean.
They're gonna. That time. With
you and when you're focused on
them together. And you can
relate because you think. I'm so
busy I ten things to do. But if
you just. Drop that for. An
hour. And do some. Different it
makes it makes for a different
day. How it absolutely does and
I me and my kids. Really love
that time. You know together
with me and my husband too so
it's kind of like you got a-
like make that time and talk
about it right. Which is why I
like this idea you see talk
about carving out the time this
expense when you're on a family
vacation. Yes the whole family
of four five or six doesn't need
to go together with in the
family vacation. That's a good
time for. A vacation date-
that's been. Some of our best
ones because you're already like
trying to relax and like
disconnect from everything and
so if you. You know take that
time and say okay I'm gonna take
my kid. Like I've taken kayaking
or paddle boarding you know
down. We were in Hilton head and
then my husband will do
something else with my other
daughter. Yeah biking I mean
it's- it's really. Nice on
vacation because you're just
you're already kind of in that
mind set. Of like putting
everything else aside. And you
know you can get that time
together. Yeah it's not like the
regular time home when the to do
list is so long you feel like
you can't get away with it- but
overall. Making sure you're
having quality time in everyday
life and you do that by engaging
them. In regular activities
nurturing and their interests
and- even a simple show of
affection goes a long way rights
level. As it is a love language
one of my daughter's love
language is. Is touch and so if
I'm if she's like having a bad
day or something I know I can
sit down. Right next to her you
know get a little hug and it's
going to go. I mean it'll- it'll
go one. You know. Further for
her. Present it's all going to
be okay and then. And remember
this. Up and you feel passion
about the subject because- your
own mom passed away. In your mid
twenties so it's important to
know that you know that was
something you took time can be
gone before you're ready for it
before you know what's going to
happen. My gosh it's so fast and
so fast and one of those photos
that you showed with my mom and
I. Watching to see see I went to
school in DC and she came to
visit me and we took a bike ride
together. You know when you go
to the monument and everything
and I mean I remember that time
and that's what I want to extend
to my own kids too. Yeah well I.
Have a feeling your- so. Won't
feel like they have. Any sure.
Of time. Experiences because
you're too. A member. You right
in the bloody. People get from-
from reading king around
Greenville- and- I always tell
people I hope that they can make
the same kind of memories. That
I make with my own kids. I mean
I'm- I go do all this stuff and
I write about it right and I'm
making those on. On memories
with my kids and my family and
that's what I really hope that
they- they have the opportunity
to do the same. Excellent it's-
valuable resource you're always
inspiring us on. The way so
you'll really make the most of
this moment so we appreciate
Christina. And people can find
