16 Days till Christmas friends. You’ve gotta get the classic Christmas morning jammy photo in front of the tree:) If you haven’t already purchased Christmas Pj’s – I’m here to help you out. I’ve linked some of my top picks from my favorite kiddo stores.
Christmas Pj’s roundup.
Isn’t that the truth!! Since motherhood is such a huge part of my life, I’ve decided to dedicate Tuesday blog posts to Kiddo topics. This is for you, my Mama friends!! Kid approved food + clothes + activities + of course, Holiday ideas. Hopefully something most of you can relate too:)
I asked my 9-year-old what I should write about today and these are topics of her choice:
Last month Bailey and I decided that Monday’s after school and work, we would plan a date. Just the two of us. Something we both enjoy doing. Every Monday. Together. I should mention, I totally stole this idea from my girl, Gretchen Rubin. She’s the shit! (I think that might be my first blogging cuss word?) Gretchen is the Author of the Happiness Projects. I listened to the audio books and loved that I could relate to some of her projects. This one might be my favorite.
Since I began dating my daughter, we’ve gone to the movies, the park, frozen yogurt, cooked meals together, facials, and shopping. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate or expensive. Bailey is an only child, so she obviously gets a lot of my time and attention. There’s just something special about making a designated “date” that we can both look forward too. Time to talk about anything. Time to do things together uninterrupted. Time to connect. Two hours of undivided attention. Weeks and days get busy, but Monday’s are a date – no matter what! Each Monday since, I’ve gone to bed with such a full heart. And what makes it better, Bailey told me she does too. It’s the little things that truly count. Monday dates are something you will be hearing more of:)
