Yesterday we shared our Top Picks for Holiday Boards to Follow and look to for last minute ideas.  As for our big plans this holiday season we’re spending it at home with family and creating memories together.  My daughter and I will be participating in the Christmas Around the World and Cooking Around the World  over the holiday break.  It’s finally a time where I get to have her at home with be and do all sorts of fun things together.  We’ll be participating in the Virtual Book Club for Kids featuring Jan Brett this month. We’ve built our Gingerbread House and can’t wait to share.  She’s already started to have fun with our recycled lids to decorate and create Christmas Trees.

    I find the busier I keep her after school the better her behavior is and the more fun we have. However I give her multiple options and some times it's just a quiet afternoon reading a good chapter book so you never know what we'll be up to. Hope you have a terrific holiday break!
