Enjoying the Season of Gratitude with Family + Friends

Posted on November 19th, 2015

With the holidays quickly approaching, for most of us life is busier than ever.  It’s especially important to remind ourselves what the season is truly about – focusing on the attitude of gratitude + appreciation for what we have created in our lives, what surrounds us every day!

Make finding time to enjoy the present moment with friends + family a top priority!  Stay warm + cozy indoors with games + projects, spend time in the kitchen cooking seasonal dishes + baking sweets, bundle up to take a hike and experience the wonder of nature’s colors Fall brings.

So in the spirit of gratitude, we’re inspired to to get creative with our loved ones and enjoy DIY activities + projects to bring a bit of meaning.   Turn these activities into teaching lessons that double as beautiful Thanksgiving Day décor.
