Harvest & Holiday update: How we're celebrating so far!

It's that time of year again! No matter what your beliefs might be, everyone has memories of the holidays and what they mean.  As moms, we have the challenge of carrying on the traditions we like, forgoing the ones we don't, and creating new ones that fit our little ones personalities along with our life styles.  Here's some of the things we've been doing to celebrate the holidays and get in the spirit.

Julie HR has hosted some harvest inspired crafting with leaf rubbing*, corn cob wreath making*, and coming up next, the group with make hand print's representing one of Columbus's ships. Can't wait to see Nina, Pinta, or Santa Maria painty digit ships!!

Also, we collected food goods at BIG Play Thursday to donate to Human Needs Food Pantry in Montclair.  I will be making the drop off this Tuesday and will post more details about what to bring for the December BIG Play food drive.

Those who celebrate advent will remember the joy of opening tiny doors to eat chocolates each day as the days counted down to Christmas.  Emily MS is hosting a handmade advent calender that will be just in time for December 1st.  Looks like it will be a festive way to reuse toilet paper rolls and let the count down begin!

*If anyone has photos from these events, I'd love to post them!
