Easy 25 Days of Christmas Ideas

December 3, 2019 Katy Leave a Comment

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...]

Pajama Tuesdays

May 8, 2019 Katy Leave a Comment

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...]

Our Family Christmas Ornament Tradition

December 22, 2018 Katy Leave a Comment

Ever since I was a little kid, I remember getting a new ornament every Christmas. My mom even had these cute little knitted bags that she would set next to our stockings each year, with our new ornament inside. So when I started having kids of my own, I knew I wanted to continue this tradition myself. This Christmas ornament tradition started because my mom wanted us to have our own personal ornament collections by the time we were grown up and left the house. That way, when we moved … [Read more...]

How Meal Planning Is Helping Make Memories

September 25, 2018 Katy 2 Comments

When your kids are grown and they've left the house, what sorts of things do you want them to remember from their childhood? Maybe that's a heavy question for a Tuesday morning.  But I was thinking about this the other day, and about what has stuck with me over the years. One of the things I remember most from growing up is the time spent around the dining room table. I remember back when I was just about seven years old, and my brother was just a baby. My dad got up earlier to go … [Read more...]

Sometimes You Just Have To Make Your Own Community

April 11, 2018 Katy 1 Comment

Finding community can be hard.  Don't get me wrong, there are instances where we fall into it almost effortlessly.  We see the same people at work, or at church, and we start to form friendships.  We go through the same checkout line at the grocery store, and we get to know the cashier. But sometimes, it's a little bit harder.  We have to put forth a little bit of effort. image credit My kids are better at this than I am.  They'll talk to whoever is in front of us in the checkout line.  … [Read more...]
