On a cold and blustery day, there’s not much better than snuggling up under a huge quilt with some winter books for kids. We go two ways with our winter reading. Sometimes we like reading about snow, and snow animals, and what other kids might be doing in the snow. Other times, we live in […]
Welcome fall with pumpkin spice French toast
I was compensated by Bays English Muffins for this post. All opinions are mine alone. I feel like our weekend family breakfasts are even more special in the Fall. This is a busy season for us. It seems like after the lull of summer, school starts off with a bang…and so do all the after-school […]
14 Children’s Christmas Books
We have some fun Christmas traditions. Some years, we head to the mountains to cut down our tree. The kids have Christmas concerts and recitals. We decorate. We try to fit in some baking (though I don’t think it’s happening this year). I’ve started making my older kids watch cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies with me, which […]
Embroidered Handmade Christmas Cards
I’m not a scrapbooker. I’m a knitter and a mediocre sewer and a baker and I love doing Christmas crafts with kids young and old, but I have no imagination for scrapbooking. I have great admiration for people who do, and I wish I had lovely scrapbooks full of my pictures…and handmade cards I could […]
The Outdoor Christmas Tree
One of our favorite winter nature activities is birdwatching. Maybe it’s because you don’t see as many wild animals out and about in the winter. Maybe it’s because, even when we’re stuck inside on a below-zero day, we can still see them out there, flying about, living their little birdy lives. Whatever the reason, we’re […]

It seems like just yesterday that we were frantically trying to decide what to be for Halloween and scrounging up costumes, and tomorrow we’re going to get a Christmas tree. I know from experience that this […]
The Most Delicious Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Recipe You’ll Ever Try
**I first shared this post almost 3 years ago, but I wanted to share it at the beginning of the holiday season this year so you can get a jump on your cocoa-drinking** We still have a ton of candy canes around here. The kids got a bunch at every party and concert and in the […]
Felt Turkeys: Make These Adorable Thanksgiving Crafts
I like having stuff for kids to do while they wait for Thanksgiving dinner. Ours help make different side dishes and desserts, and they have a great time. But there’s still a long wait between everything going into the oven, and the big meal at the end. So I like to have an activity to […]
How we get outdoors and enjoy fall in Colorado
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. I love getting outdoors this time of year! The leaves are starting to turn, and the air is crisp and a little chilly. The kids are in school all week, so when we can go for a hike […]
