As a freelance work-from-home mum, I struggle to balance family time with my work commitments, house chores, chauffeuring duties, and other activities. Many mums and dads face this issue, which can be one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. It gets even more challenging as your kids get older. This year my eldest daughter will be turning 20, my middle child 18, and the youngest 15. Ever since my eldest daughter started college and is now at university, we hardly ever have a complete headcount at the dining table, in the car, or in outings.
Quality time is one of the best ways to show your family you care without having to break the bank or create elaborate shows of affection. Here are four of my top favorite ways to spend quality time with my family.
1. Cook a meal together.
This is one of my favorite ways to bond and spend quality time with my girls. We cook a meal together. It can be a simple dish or a new recipe. The time spent in the kitchen – prepping ingredients, chatting, joking, and making fun of each other is priceless.
2. Have a movie night at home together.
This is another favorite activity that my girls and I enjoy doing together during the holidays. We like watching Netflix or YouTube at home on our smart TV.
Recently, I saw my friend’s social media posting on her brand new INLAB Senz smart home cinema projector, which was a big hit with everyone at home – from the youngest to the oldest. She mentioned that the home cinema experience was so real that it blew her mind away. They don’t even need to go to the cinema anymore!
What is INLAB Senz?
INLAB Senz Projector is a smart LED projector equipped with Android OS. Similar to a smart TV, INLAB Senz projects natively 1080P (supports up to 4K) videos/images effortlessly. It consumes less power than a TV albeit the sharpness, clarity, and brightness are superb.
With the Android OS built-in (setting takes a few minutes), one can access all the popular TV applications like Netflix, YouTube, Disney Hotstar+, and over 100 more applications with a tap of a button. These applications can be installed onto the INLAB Senz from the Play Store Application.
3. Exercise together.
Keeping fit, slim, and healthy together is a fantastic family activity that everyone should try. There are endless ways to exercise together from brisk walking at your neighborhood park to jogging, swimming, working out at the gym, hiking, cycling, and the list goes on and on. After a good workout, you and your family can have a drink or a meal together.
4. Have board game nights.
Board game nights with their grandparents were my daughters’ favorite activity when they were younger. There’s just so much guffaw and excitement at the table where all of them were gathered. Board games are an excellent way to connect with someone or to break the ice with newfound friends. Board games and card games are still the best methods for our girls to warm up with our friends’ children during get-togethers. Plus, it’s technology-free and keeps us away from our gadgets for a moment.
There are many ways to spend quality time with your loved ones. Find one that suits your lifestyle and make the effort to connect with your family. I strongly believe that a close and good relationship with your children starts from day one and requires a lot of effort from the parent.
I’m now a tad tempted to get an INLAB Senz smart home cinema projector for our family’s movie nights! It’s now selling at a discounted price of RM989.90 (original price is RM2,899) and you’ll get an extra RM30 discount with voucher code INLA30 when you check out from the INLAB website.  It’s still way cheaper than getting a 45-inch smart TV, which is priced at approximately RM2k plus. The INLAB Senz can be optimal ranging from 100-120 inches but costs less than RM1k.
