Hi friends! I don’t know about you but the month of March ALWAYS seems to be the longest for me. Between the small tastes of spring weather and that awkwardness between the next big holiday of Easter, it just seems to drag. On that note – are you by chance Read more…
The anticipation of Christmas is half the fun of the holiday. The best way to track it? An advent calendar, of course. Not only do they help you count down the days, but they sometimes reward you with a sweet treat or small gift. Instead of buying the same, store-bought version you gravitate Read more…

I can’t tell you how many times I have parents say they would love to do crafts with their little one but don’t feel they are old enough. I always respond the same way…it simply isn’t so. Crafts offer your child an opportunity to work on their gross and fine motor skills, hone in on their creativity, and take ownership of something they created.

I don’t know about you, but my kids LOVE Christmas carols or any holiday song out there. In fact, starting the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas carols are playing on our Google Home or Pandora playlist pretty consistently. I LOVE, LoVe, LOOOOOOVE the holiday season and all the fun traditions that come with it.
Summer is in full swing in our household but we are still not enjoying all we could be due to the Coronavirus quarantine. The zoo, museum, parks, and pools all have restrictions (and most aren’t even open yet) which makes it impossible to enjoy as it is intended.
I’m usually not all about fads but I am all about starting traditions that I feel I would want my kids to carry on in their own family someday. I stumbled across this tradition of the Thanksgiving Thankful Tree and thought I would share.
