Whoville Hot Cocoa Bar

This post contains affiliate links, see my full disclosure here.

This Christmas might look a little different. And what better way to celebrate that than with a Grinch movie night & hot cocoa bar with the family. After all, it’s through the Grinch that we remember that Christmas will come without ribbons and tags and packages. Christmas, means a little bit more. And even though you might not be doing all your big holiday parties and get togethers, you can still make it a really special and fun night for your kiddos!

Light the World Lunchbox Cards 2019

I updated the popular Light the World lunchbox challenge this year to adapt it to the new theme “one by one”. I only made 16 cards since that’s about how many school days most kids will have in December (I believe ours have 14). You can put these in your child’s lunchbox each day (as the name suggests) and some of the things are meant for them to do right there at school. But some things (even though I tried to make it mostly independent) will need a little parental help. So you could also put it on your child’s breakfast plate, on their pillow or hang it on the fridge.… Read the rest
