My Intentions for the 2009 Holidays




My list for Day One in the Jessica Sprague Holidays in Hand Class:


  • Emphasize the spirit of giving and the story of the ultimate gift.
  • Create new traditions with the boys for the holidays.
  • Reach out to those less fortunate than us.
  • Bake treats with the kids.
  • Explore anonymous giving - Kris Kringle or Secret Santa
  • Share the stories behind meaningful ornaments or decorations.
  • Participate in outings, more time and adventures together vs. stuff
  • Enjoy the wonder of Christmas lights in the dark.
  • Make time to be together with extended family.
  • Make our own holiday crafts & decorations.

He Is Going To Make a Good Husband

This morning I overheard Boone as he was try to teach Brody to play chess, which is hilarious as Boone just learned to play yesterday.

Boone: No Brody, you can't move that. You'll expose your Queen. She works hard to protect you so you have to protect her.

The Fun Theory

I have always loved the innovative development by the folks at Volkswagon.  Here is a new project called "The Fun Theory" with absolutely fantastic ideas to promote behavior change.  I love these clips!
 Thanks for sharing Annie!
