The holidays are a time for giving and giving back. Whether that’s within your circle of family and friends, or within your community. This time of the year is really a great time to start focusing on how to give back to others. You can do this simply by practicing acts of kindness. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t practice this all year round, of course. One of the ways that I like to give back, at this time of the year and all year, is through food. Whether it’s sharing cookies, baking bread, or a more substantial meal like a sausage and squash lasagna. Now yes, I realize this may not meet your expectations of what a lasagna is supposed to look like….

In case I haven’t mentioned it yet- here’s one thing that you should definitely know about me. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Ever. And it goes just beyond the actual day. There’s so much that I love about this time of the year. And yes, I am one of those people who would start decorating as soon as possible. To be honest, if I could have one room in the house dedicated to Christmas? I’d do it. This year, however, when I wanted to start decorating; I also wanted to consider the overall Winter season. Squeaker loves snowmen. Kyle, Squeaker, and I are all Winter babies (January, December, February respectively). So it only made sense to try and incorporate Winter alongside Christmas.

We are approaching my favorite time of the year- Christmas! Though, I’ve been in the Christmas mood for quite some time already. Now it’s really time to dive in and make stuff. And decorate. And bake cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. But it’s also one of my favorite times to tap into my wannabe crafter side. Squeaker probably enjoys crafting and creating more than I do at this point. And that’s not a bad thing at all. If anything, her enthusiasm gets me motivated as well. One of our most recent crafts was a foam paintbrush reindeer. Pretty cute, huh?

I’ve never been what you would call a “flexible” person when it comes to bendability. I mean, I’m just finally reaching the point where I can touch my toes when I bend over. But that doesn’t keep me from trying some sort of exercise. Still, I have to recognize that as I get older, my body will let me know when to stop. One of the ways that it likes to do this? I am currently dealing with increasing hip and joint pain. Yes, I am a millennial (on the older spectrum) but that doesn’t mean I’m immune to getting…

We are trying to raise Squeaker in a Christian faith but also with an appreciation and awareness for all religions. However, because she is baptized, Christianity is what she will primarily know. One of the major ways that I want to introduce her to Christ and our faith, is during Advent and Christmas. This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #JoinTheSearch #CollectiveBias But how do I go about this? Where do I start? Is there protocol for how to introduce toddlers to Christ at Christmas? Or is it up to parents? Should Christians really introduce Christ at Christmas? I don’t want to take away the magic or the fun that surrounds Christmas. I also don’t…
