Navigating life with a newborn can be exhausting, even all-consuming at times. It’s also filled with more awe and joy than ever imagined. Time flies by as clothes are quickly outgrown and motor skills are developed, including discovering the ability to create ear-piercing screeches. Most exciting is their unique personality breaking through, shaping their outlook on the world.
(November 26, 2024) - Traditions are often sentimental, full of fun, and build lasting memories with family and friends. One of my favorite holiday traditions occurs on Thanksgiving Day. I ask my kids to sit down and create a holiday wish list - complete with colorful holiday art decorating the margins. It started when my kids were little and decorated their wish list for Santa with holiday-themed pictures. I loved it so much that I asked them to keep up with the tradition of hand-written wish lists with hand-drawn art as they got older.
