Intentional LivingRandom Acts of Kindness Ideas 21-40 {100 Days of Kindness}
A little bit of kindness can really go a long way, and this year I've committed to and written about doing 100 Acts of Kindness.

While grand gestures are great, sometimes we underestimate how much a small, kind act can really mean to others. When I'm pregnant, I feel like a whale. I feel gigantic and as uncomfortable and unattractive as possible (seriously, how does anyone feel ...Continue Reading

Christmas Guessing Game Printables
Earlier this month in my Counting Down to Christmas post I shared that my family was marking each day of before Christmas with a fun activity. We read stories, had a family dance party, shared things we love about each other, and played this game for our family game night. This game may sound familiar to you.

What's the difference between a good present and a super present?... Presentation!! <cue "Welcome to the Jungle"> (10 points to anyone who can name the movie I'm referencing.

This year, I want to host in a room that feels like it's actually our home and in our style so this room needs some major ...Continue Reading
