December is already full of stuff, so it can be easy to cringe when you see a list of 25 things to do, one for each day leading up to Christmas. But I promise this is not that list! These are super easy, mostly no prep things to do in December. Things like watching movies and making treats you were going to make anyways. But somehow, having a special "thing" each day brings my kids joy, and maybe it will for your family too. I don't want my December to be full of things that I'm doing … [Read more...]

Recipe: S’mores Energy Bites
Last winter, my husband found these fun mini marshmallows in the beverage section at Target, near all of the hot cocoa packets. (They're like these, but you can probably find them cheaper in store.) Since we generally make our own hot chocolate, these were a fun addition. But we had some left over, and I wanted to switch up our normal energy bites with something new. Enter the S'mores Energy Bites. To really make it taste like a s'more, I crushed up a few graham crackers, added some … [Read more...]
Pajama Tuesdays
On Mondays, we do grocery shopping. On Wednesdays, we go to the library. And on Tuesdays, we wear pajamas. My children know this now. If we happen to have something scheduled on a Tuesday, they gasp and say, "But Mom, that means you have to get dressed!" We didn't always do things this way. But for this current season of life, Pajama Tuesday is a must. You see, I am an introvert. In simple terms, that means that I recharge by being alone. And let me tell you, as a homeschooling … [Read more...]
