Lucas is about to leave on pretty lengthy work trip, so I’m trying to prep some meals ahead of time (unlike all the other times when I’m VERY unprepared).

We take our tree down before January 1, but we leave our wreath up for MUCH longer. This is for a few reasons: it’s timeless, […]
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is counting down each day with an advent calendar. What started out as just a piece of chocolate every day (pre-kids), has turned into chocolate + a fun winter activity with our kids. It’s something that we all look forward to each day. I’m sharing a few different Countdown […]
Each year, a few days before December 1st, I wrap up 25 of our favorite Christmas books. I number them 1-25, hiding them away until the new month comes around. On the 1st, Hazel + Milo will wake up to 25 wrapped books, displayed on our bookshelf. They’ll take turns opening one book a night […]
