Christmas Memory Game {FREE Printable!}

We’re not big “game” people in our house, but one game we ALL love is memory. It’s one of the first games Sophie learned how to play, and she’s gotten pretty good! She has a habit of making up her own rules, though. It doesn’t matter how many times I explain them to her, she…

Blindfolded Taste Test

There is something about recreating my childhood traditions with my own kids that makes me feel so… old. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I was blindfolded in my parents’ kitchen, while my brother fed me the most awful tasting thing he could find in the pantry. And now I’m doing…
