This whole series feels like a warm hug of a cup of something warm and yummy.

We do the Christmas lights tradition! Just did it last night with mugs of hot chocolate, PJs, and playlist! We also do Christmas light bingo to see if we can find the most unique things. We’ve never found a leg lamp….

Christmas light bingo sounds so fun!! One of my kids' friends wore a leg lamp sweater to our christmas party. 😂

Thank you for helping us be more embodied. I think that's the term. My childhood was traumatic, schizophrenic dad, and while I know there were good things about Christmas I can't remember them. So I've found myself in a habit of disassociating or not connecting to holidays as an adult. But my children force me to slow down and actually attempt to be present. I learn something new every year to try, to help my kids and myself to have the memories I long for all of us!

Embodied is a great term and sums up my work in general! Hope you can make some good, healing memories this year. Sometimes our kids help us heal little us. 🥹

What a heartwarming read filled with cozy ideas. Thank you for inviting me to pause and reflect on what Christ’s coming meant for him.

Oh and I love the nod to fashion. I think it's so fun to have so much fashion freedom today. So much good here 🎄❤️

I’ve never dried oranges before and was planning to do so this week and make a garland out of them—so I love that it’s on the list!

My husband bought me a sweater set but it's a skirt instead of pants. It so cute and comfy!
