Last month, I was flipping through the magazine that never fails to get my creative juices flowing
Zach and I have been trying to take more time to spend together. I love every moment of time I get with him, and I love when we can get out and do something fun together. With that said, winter is rough. In the spring, you can go to a park, or in the summer, you can go for a trip to a water park. But winter is cold. And drab. And dreary. With that said, I’ve got 10 dates that you can take with your son that don’t cost a lot of money and are perfect for winter.
Cold and flu season is in full swing around here, with some schools locally reporting absences into the double– and even triple– digits. But that doesn’t mean we should be afraid. There are a few great tips to help you get through cold and flu season, without too much downtime.

Is anything better than an indulgent treat at the end of a long day? Well, I think a not-so-bad for you indulgent treat may be better! I grew up an ice cream addict. My family regularly had homemade ice cream at celebrations and holidays, and I love sitting down with a bowl of ice cream at night. And my favorite flavor? Mint chip. Mmmm… Müller created a line, brand new in stores, of ice cream inspired yogurt, and they even have a mint version… and when life gives you ice cream inspired yogurt, it’s pretty much a given you’re going to make a delicious sundae-inspired treat, right?
Tomorrow, on your way to work, you’re going to get hit by a bus. Tonight, as you’re out walking to the mailbox, a freak storm will hit and you’ll be struck by lightning. When you take your daily shower, you’re going to slip on a bar of soap and hit your head.
Okay, so these things probably aren’t going to happen. Chances are, you won’t die tomorrow. But what if you did? Would you feel fulfilled? We’re inundated with bucket lists– your summer bucket list of must-do items, your must-capture photos of spring break… heck, I even posted a must-do list for the month of January earlier this week. Those are all okay things. But how often do we take 5 minutes to think about the idea that “if I died right now… what is one thing I wished I had done?”

We’ve heard all of the typical resolutions before… I want to lose weight, I want to quit smoking, I want to run a marathon… but what about resolutions that kids can make? Adults aren’t the only ones who want to make positive change in the new year, but sometimes, we get so caught up in our own resolutions that we don’t even know where to encourage our kids to begin. Here are a few ideas:
I am all about tradition during the holidays. Our annual trip for Thanksgiving, Christmas advent calendars, gingerbread houses… but then I realized my family has zero traditions for New Years’ Eve. Our idea of an NYE party? Flipping channels and drinking some sparkling grape juice at midnight… IF we make it to midnight. But that has to change– I can’t have a holiday without a tradition! So we’ve decided to build a family time capsule that we can open together. When I sat down to think about what would go in this family time capsule, I had a few ideas…
I think it’s at least fairly clear when you read my blog that I’m a Christian. I’ve talked about my faith before, often in some serious detail. But I don’t think I’ve ever shared what Christmas truly means to me, as a Christian.
Obviously, Christians celebrate Christmas as a symbol of Christ’s birth. Whether or not you believe that December 25 is his actual birthday, it’s time we’ve set aside intentionally to celebrate the miracle of that virgin birth.
But for me, Christmas means more than that.
For the past few years, my family has sat down to Christmas dinner without a turkey or a ham, without mashed potatoes and dinner rolls and all of the Christmas fixings that are a staple on many holiday tables….
Cold and Flu Season is in full swing… my kiddo has already had his fair share of sick days this year, and it’s just miserable. That said, I have a few tried-and-true cold and flu season tips that will help your child feel a little more comfortable during their illness.
