'Twas the week before Christmas and there was so much to remember- be sure to check out the reminders linked below and take some time to slow down and savor the holidays and winter break. Parent to parent- it does not have to be perfect. Instead of focusing on our adult pursuit of perfection- embrace the opportunities to play, snuggle, and just be present.
