Advent Calendar Fillers

I just made a pocket advent calendar for my family to use every December and I can’t wait to begin this tradition. In this post, I’ve brainstormed a number of advent calendar fillers to put in the pockets. In the 24 days leading up to Christmas, children will look forward to discovering what is in each day’s pocket. I’ve included fun activities, yummy treats, and little presents. Many of these advent calendar fillers also make great stocking stuffers!

Fall Bucket List Printables

Fall is growing on me more and more as I get older. The kids are back in school with routines, activities, and friends. The weather is gorgeous. Plus, the family fun activities in autumn are plentiful. I recommend creating a fall bucket list to ensure you don’t miss out on anything that makes the season enjoyable for you.

Below I have a blank fall bucket list printable (totally free) and a copy of the bucket list my family made this year for autumn if you would like a starting point.

Things to Do in New Orleans (for cheap!)

I recently was able to tag along on my husband’s work conference trip to New Orleans.  I hadn’t been to New Orleans since I was a little girl and the only parts of that trip I remember are the beignets and feeding alligators on a swamp tour.  Going back to NOLA as an adult was great and I would go back again in a heartbeat.

Most of the trip I was by myself since Alex was at his conference so I tried to keep myself entertained without spending a ton of money.  Mission accomplished!  Here are some of my recommendations for things to do in New Orleans for very little money;

Summer is my absolute favorite time of the year. I don’t want it to pass me by without doing a number of, what I consider, essential summer must-dos. This year I sat down with my family and created a summer bucket list. Below you’ll be able to see the summer bucket list we created as well as print out a blank version for yourself to use! I’ve included some tips to help you get started.
