I love the holidays! This is the perfect time to create and indulge in delicious treats!
I love making both homemade and semi-homemade treats during this season. Honey, everything doesn't have to be from scratch to be good! Save some time and your mind! Yesterday, the "adult children" made a Gingerbread house which was pre-constructed. That did not stop them from enjoying creating magic! It actually gave them more time to be creative instead of worrying if the roof would fall if they added more gumdrops!
Be gentle to yourself, everything doesn't have to be perfect! Enjoy creating the magic of moment without social media, put phones down and be social, enjoy bonding. The babies, young and old won't care if you cut a few corners with making the treats. All they really care about is making the treats together with you!
So grab your favorite tube of premade sugar cookie dough and go make Christmas Magic!
