The Christmas Tradition I am Most Excited About This Year!

We are talking Christmas traditions over here today!! Last year when my babies were teeny tiny, I wrote a blog post on what Christmas traditions I planned to implement. This year, the tradition that I am most excited about is giving them some new Christmas books each year at Christmas. I’ll put them away after Christmas and get them out every year so it will be new and exciting, and they can reread their favorite stories. It’s something that they get excited about at just 16-months old, so I love it! They love to look at books, laugh at the funny people and things that they see, and help me turn the pages. Board books are essential I have found out because otherwise, they will rip the pages out and then I have to tape them back in. Mama don’t got time for that!

When I’m at home, I love to be comfortable. If you watch my Instagram stories, you know this! These Isotoner slippers have been on repeat every single day because they are so comfortable, and I love that they are so easy to slip on when my hands are full…which is pretty much always. I’m looking at you, Harris and Goldie! They have 360 memory foam and smartDRI moisture wicking so they hug my feet all around, but my feet don’t get too hot. You know what I’m talking about! We’ve all had slippers that get way too toasty where our feet end up sweaty. No thanks!! These keep my feet dry, warm and cozy…otherwise known as the slipper goals trifecta. I also love that they are so inexpensive! After wearing them and feeling the quality, I can’t believe the price. They would be a great gift for your comfy-loving  friend, sister, mom, dad, brother or mailman.

What books did I get for the babies this year, you ask? Like I said, board books were a must, so I got “Is It Almost Christmas?” which is SUCH a fun book because it has so much to look at, it is so sparkly and there are windows on each page into the following pages. I bought “Merry Christmas Mouse” which is a classic to go along with “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” I think it’s fun because as they get older, it will help them learn how to count to 10. The last book I got this year is “Oh, Christmas Tree!” I had the books laid out on the floor, so when they came down to eat breakfast, they were so excited. They sat on my lap as we read the new books and they absolutely loved it. I think it’s so sweet that they noticed they were new and that it was so exciting for them!

What Christmas traditions are you most excited about this year?

    The Christmas book idea is by far one of my favorites. My mom did it with us and I do it with my two girls. Can I make a couple book suggestions to add to your collection in the years to come?
    The legend of the Candy Cane, by Lori Warburg
    The sweet smell of Christmas (A Golden Book)
    The Small One, By Alex Walsh
    The Small One, A Good Samaritan, by Katherine Brown
    Rudolph (The Golden Book version)
    Frosty the snowman ( the retold version by Annie North Bedford)

    And my all time favorite is Santa Mouse by Michael Brown.

    Some traditions my girls and I do every year is make Christmas ornaments, decorate sugar cube houses (it’s a little easier for little hands than gingerbread houses and super cute.

    Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas

Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief t Somewhere along our way, we picked up the belief that questions weren’t okay. Maybe it’s because we had an experience that made us feel dumb - we asked a question and we got made fun of. We then picked up the belief that we’re already supposed to know it all, and that when we question, it means we are inadequate. That questioning is unsafe.

Kids ask questions constantly, so they learn constantly. They haven’t yet taken on the belief that they need to know more than they do right now. Because how could they possibly? It makes sense. They’re curious and ask all of the questions in all of the ways.

Let’s do that.

Let’s ask the questions. In every way. From all the angles. And then focus on where we are turning for the answers because WHERE we are turning matters. I think God will guide us if we ask Him. He knows how to speak to us in ways that we will hear, but only if we turn to Him.

He’s got us.

Questions are EVERYTHING and I want to live to my last day with a million questions that I expect answers to in His way. He’ll show up for me. And I’ll know He’ll show up for you, too. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 6/4/23 #sundaybest #christianposts
Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a m Truly and genuinely @orbitbaby has saved me as a mom to twins and now mom to 3! Why I love it:

🤍 The car seat and stroller seat rotates so it makes it a great place for baby on walks and other places like restaurants because I can face him where I need to! He can be facing towards me as I’m seated or avoid sun in his face on walks!

🤍 I love that the car seat pops directly into the stroller base. If he’s sleeping I don’t have to wake him up and it makes going ANYWHERE so much easier and gives me so much less anxiety when I take my crew out and about 😅🤍

Let me know if you have questions! #orbitbaby #sponsored #newbaby #momhacks #momlife #stroller #travelsystem

Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary Tyler asked Harris while preparing for his primary talk to speak in church what his favorite part of church was, and he answered honestly:

“The treat at the end.”

I laughed and laughed, and I also realized that this truth spoken from his mouth was spot on.

I pray, and I write and I listen and I study because in those moments is when I can hear Him.

I see Him in truth everywhere. He is in all things. His lessons are gently whispering in the textures, the smells, and the relationships I give my energy to.

I put forth effort by my small acts of showing up and telling Him I’m listening and His spirit is the “treat at the end.” And during. And before - even when I sometimes don’t notice it quite yet.

🤍🤍🤍 Happy Sabbath my beautiful friends!!! His knows you by name. He sees you and hears you and ADORES what He created - you. 🤍 #parcellsundayselfie 5/21/23 #sundaybest
