Hi Friends,
This is the last post of the year! We started sharing these crafts mid-February and now the year is about to be over, like in hours. We’re shocked by how fast time flew, thankful for the opportunity, and can’t wait to bring more fun activities. On a personal level, a new year means my babies are getting older, new activities are done and memories are made. Even though we’ve never been much of the “New Year’s resolution” kind of people, for the last 11 years & during each December, we talk about the great things that happened that year, what we accomplished, and what we’re thankful to put behind us. As the kids have gotten older we’ve included them too, it helps them be aware, feel appreciation and look forward to the future. Typically on New Year’s Eve, we’ll talk about what we hope for in the coming year and what we intend to accomplish. Today’s activity put those 2 ideas into practice and creates a visible reminder.
Whether you’re into New Year’s resolutions or not, it’s a great way to see where you’ve “been” and where you’re “going”. It’s a way for you and your kiddos to remember the great things you’ve accomplished, the fun had, the difficult moments endured/overcome and everything hoped for. It’s also something you can do each year and keep for future reference. Check it out, it’s SUPER EASY!
