Every year, the kids are in charge of decorating t Every year, the kids are in charge of decorating the tree. Which means every year, it looks pretty silly. But, I love it.

I'm responsible for the flying penguin, tho. Swipe to see the finished product 🤣

If you do a tree, are you team white lights or team multi color? My lights alternate between white and multi and it brings me joy every single year. Why choose? When you can have both?

Another month, another batch of books! I finished Another month, another batch of books! I finished the Bridgerton saga and accidentally got sucked into some prequels. I LOVED Migrations and Mexican Gothic. I'll continue with the next Ruth Galloway series and @themarthabeck should be required reading.

What are your go to tips to making hiking with kid What are your go to tips to making hiking with kids more fun?? Here's mine:

1. Bring binoculars! Taking a closer look at the world around you is cool!

2. Try not to get impatient at the slower pace, but if you do... Encourage a race!

3. Jump off all the stumps (this actually helps pace since they'll run to the next one)

4. Look for dinosaur poop! Or fossils, or birds nests, or unicorn poop... Whatever your kid is currently into - lean into it!

5. Don't forget to enjoy your surroundings.

6. Sit on every single bench

7. Be silly

What do you do to make your toddler hikes more fun!?
