Simplify gift-giving this Christmas...

I remember when I first came across this phrase. My kids were so little and it was a breath of fresh air. Years later, it’s simply woven into our seasonal rhythm. Part of our family culture. They anticipate four gifts, and a stocking of little items. Sometimes the stocking gifts are even one of the four - like a bunch of fun, natural self-care items for the “something you need” category. This has helped us to not go overboard and to have a framework for holiday shopping. It helps the kids know what to expect. And it’s part of our ongoing family conversations around consumerism, simplicity, and gratitude. I have shared this through my past blog, Tiny Peasant, every year, but since I haven’t kept up with sharing in that space, I thought I’d bring some of it over here. Do you have any special gifting traditions in your home to share? We’d love to hear them.

It's spruce tip season - you might catch the tail end of it if you adventure out this weekend! Here are a couple of posts on our adventures with spruce tips. The first is over at Tiny Peasant and is a picture of our day at a nearby park, harvesting spruce tips. And the second is housed over at EcoParent Magazine, and shows the ways we used our spruce tips - in shortbread, syrup and more!
