5 things for the weekend 21.25

documenting december, peppermint cookies, a life in books

This year, I am taking a simpler approach to documenting the Holidays with my Daily December Journal. Inside are 31 pages of prompts to help remember what I saw, what I heard, and what I did. With space for a quick photo/sketch and additional notes or memories. I plan to make it part of my daily ritual, when I drink my Advent Calendar tea with my son in the evenings. I’ll ask him to contribute to did/saw/heard to get his perspective on the Holidays too.

Does this sound like something that can take some of the stress off you in December? Check out all the details on the blog.
