With the holidays upon us, it’s easy to be swept up by the hustle-bustle. That’s why we’re kicking off December with a bit of intention, and setting a few to-do’s that don’t involve shopping or addressing holiday cards, but rather enjoying the moment and making memories. 

December’s Memory-Making To-Do’s

- Make a homemade batch of thick, rich, and delicious hot cocoa. Add a liberal heaping of whipped cream, and top with marshmallows and a few chocolate chips. Indulge guilt-free.

- Watch a favorite holiday movie, start to finish. No laptop, ipad, or phone scrolling allowed. Enjoy being entertained and giving your full attention to something fun! 

- Drive around a festive neighborhood and enjoy the holiday lights. Bonus points for singing carols or listening to holiday music. 

- Spend time with children. Whether they’re your own or not, the joy and anticipation of Christmas through young eyes is delightful. 

Won’t you join us in savoring the season? What are your memory-making to-do’s?

Summer may be coming to an end, but your summer memories can live on! Here are 3 easy ways to let summer linger...

1. Print your photos. Whether you documented every adventure on Instagram or fill up the camera roll, print your photos to enjoy them on paper, not just digitally. We love foxprint for Instagram photos (they print adorable 4x4 and 3x3 square prints and offer a darling white border!), or apps such as freeprints, snapfish or shutterfly get photos from your phone to the fridge or a frame in a snap. 

2. Create a memory jar. Use an empty vase or mason jar to hold your collection of seashells, ticket stubs, and trinkets that represent summer. 

3. Thorn, rose & bud. Have a conversation while on a family walk or over dinner and discuss your highs and lows for the summer and hopes for fall. Share your thorn (least favorite memory), rose (favorite memory), and bud (hope for fall). Bonus: Document your memories on some summery stationery or note paper. 

xx, dd
