For many, Christmas is the most anticipated holiday of the year: spending precious time with family and friends, taking part in holiday traditions, decorating your home to bring the festive season to life, exchanging gifts, and feasting on your family’s favorite meals.
The days are getting shorter, and the air is crisper… it’s time to move some of your family fun indoors, and who doesn’t love family movie night? Movie nights are great for cuddling up with the kids on the couch - both human and furry! So, stoke up the fire, get comfy, and enjoy the show!
I’m ‘that house’ on the block. Sometimes it’s not even October 1 yet and my house is decked out in all the best decorations the Dollar Store can buy (when is the ‘acceptable’ time to start decorating for Halloween, anyways?). Combine the beauty of fall with the creative opportunities of Halloween and you’re left with a lot to do in a (very) short period of time. Anyone else feel like you cram a whole lotta fun into about one month?
Bringing the family together for game night - what could be simpler? After a long pandemic rolling the same dice or shuffling the same cards, you may be feeling less than inspired. I get it. To inspire new rounds of play and plenty of memories, here are some parent-tested game picks complete with family-friendly food pairings, along with my top tips to keep the game night tradition going strong.
