Simplicity and Connection Through Family Gift Making

Simplicity and Connection Through Family Gift Making
Holidays with children are so magical but can also be hard if we don’t remember to stay calm and present. With family, traveling, cooking, decorating, spending money and pressure to create good memories for your kids, it’s no wonder parents everywhere stress at the thought of the winter season approaching. One way to slow down and appreciate the holidays is to make your own presents. Not only do you save money, but homemade gifts are also more meaningful and you can spend quality time with your kids while making them!
