It’s the day after Christmas, and for many of us, that means we’ve been going non-stop for a while now. There is the traveling to see family (or family traveling to see you), the shopping for gifts, shopping for special occasion food, shopping for the toilet paper you were just about to run out of, and, well, shopping for shopping’s sake. Visiting friends, baking cookies/cupcakes/pies for home, work, and school. Many of us spend an awful lot of December in either the car or the kitchen.
Before you read any further, I need you to listen to Mariah Carey’s, “All I Want for Christmas is You” to set the mood, so to speak.
Have you been slaving away in the kitchen with holiday cooking? Measuring, pouring, stirring, putting things in the oven, taking them out of the oven, and doing it all over again? Now is the perfect time to get your kids involved. Katie Workman, author of The Mom 100 Cookbook breaks down what kids can do to help based on their ages.
It’s hard to believe December has rolled around yet again. As some of my friends are celebrating Christmas this year with their service member deployed, I’ve been reflecting on my experience of missed family moments due to military life.
Even though we have been through three deployments, they have fallen in such a way that, generally speaking, we have gotten to spend the holidays together.
This holiday season on Army Wife Network, we are sharing a few of our favorite things.
Last month we explored reasons why one would home school or public school. I stated, “Both experiences [home and school] could bring together learning and living as defined by your family’s passions and vision.” It is important, for me, that we all know that regardless of A or B, we do not LOSE and should not GIVE OVER control of our children’s education.
