There's no time like the end of the year to remind us that another year has flown by. (Even if some days seemed to drag on forever). As AnneMarie, Andrea & Tabi can confirm the Sprouts you see with Santa use to be quite little, cute and oh so funny. While these seedlings have indeed sprouted (eye rolls and all) they will always be our Sprouts, just like your Sprouts that come to learn, grow AND teach us everyday. While it is not always easy to "enjoy the moment" we hope that you find some time to stop and really look at your little ones. One day they will not be so little and you will be not so busy and they will not want to sit on Santa's lap anymore. (Except they will because they really want the gifts). ;-)

Our friends at Hand In Hand parenting help us find some calm in all the jingled chaos. In the words of Charlie Brown, "It's not what's under the tree that counts. It's who's around it". As always we encourage you to share your go-to's for creating a peaceful season with you and yours. Below are some activities to have handy for your little ones on Thanksgiving. Add fun cups with crayons and washable markers next to their place setting. You can even wait until they have eaten "at least FIVE bites" before they can begin their activity. Keeping them busy will allow you to enjoy the meal you slaved over all day.

Change is messy folks, but necessary. Thanks to the internet, and AmazonPrime, information is available at our finger tips. Below is a solid resources to help any intrigued grown-up get started.
