Welcome.

December is a busy time of year. Winter weather means the kids are indoors more frequently and school agers are out of school, too.

Combat the hectic days by planning ahead. The kids will have a blast writing letters to Santa, and even more fun receiving his reply. I also am sharing my favorite Christmas cookie recipes and a great ornament craft to add to the tree. Finally, don't wait till the last minute. Make sure you grab your copy of my Daycare Tax Workbook.

Letters From Santa

The only thing more fun than writing a letter to Santa is receiving a reply in the mail straight from the North Pole. This is an activity to do with the kids today! The deadline is December 15th!

Christmas Cookie Recipes

One of my favorite winter activities is baking Christmas cookies. These recipes are great to use because they are simple enough for the kids to help. And of course, delicious enough for everyone to enjoy!

This simple craft will be a beautiful ornament for the kids to add to their tree at home. Just a few steps go into this decoration that they will hang with pride all month long.
