21 Days of Christmas: Days 2-10

Posted on by rootedmama

This last week has been a lot more wonky than I had thought it would be. All I could focus on was the “right-here-and-now”.

Sometimes, during those moments. . . The best way to show and spread kindness is in how you show up in your immediate circles.

I know that there have been times this week where I haven’t been my best self. I’ve let people down.

In my experience, the best way to show up in those times, is how you mend the mess ups.

So, if y’all you did this week is come back to those in your circle to make amends. Then, you showed up right. You still spread kindness. You were still the hands and feet of Jesus.

Now, give yourself grace- because you need it, too!

Family Traditions

Posted on by rootedmama

This time of year, I start reminiscing on the fall and winter traditions we have.

In October, we celebrate birthdays. We dress up on Halloween. We carve pumpkins. Some years, we go trick-or-treating, other years, we go to fall festivals. But, we always dress up on Halloween.

In November and December, we celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. No matter where we are, or who we are celebrating with, we always try to do something fun together, as a family. A lot of times, this includes glow stick dance parties at night. Or just extra family movie nights, watching holiday movies.

I’ve learned that no matter what- it’s important to add in some fun!

What are some holidays you celebrate? What traditions do you have?
