Every Monday night we have M&M night. M&M stands for "Music & a Message" to our family. We like to sing and dance along with our player piano and read some type of book about a topic we need to discuss (like kindness or sharing or some type of uplifting message). Then we like to do an activity together, like play a board game or red light green light in our hallway. Then we finish with an M&M treat. Last week we made sugar cookies and added M&Ms for polka-dots. The kids always look forward to M&M night. We keep it short and 'sweet'. Try it with your family if you're looking for a new family tradition.

This looks like so much fun Victoria! Do you guys always use actual M&M's in your treats, or does the treat just start with M?
Love this tradition...maybe you can guest post about it sometime on my site?
We always play a game Monday night...I fear we are developing some pretty competitive kids!
Tauni, thanks for all your comments! We normally just do M&M treats because they can be quick. Let me know if you'd like me to put something together about this for "It's a Tradition."
