The sparkle of lights blinking in the snow and the squeals of happiness from the kiddos on Christmas morning. Whenever I think about the holiday season planning is not even remotely anywhere near the forefront of my…

We just finished writing up a massive to do list full of all the things we need to do this holiday season. Now it’s time to loosen up a little bit and make a just…

I don’t know about you, but during the holiday season the number of to-do lists I have running quadruples – at least! There are so many activities and events and other things that we all want or need to do during the holidays. And they all require some preparation and planning. Starting your holiday to-do list early is a great…

Winter is just beginning and we’re winding down the year with a whirlwind of festivities sprinkled with these quiet, magical moments. Holiday traditions are my favourite part of the season.
