TONS of printable Advent calendar activities & ideas for your Christmas countdown that help you focus on making memories this season!

In November, I start intentionally  thinking about what I want for our family during the holidays  -- peaceful evenings, time each week to connect and enjoying special traditions like our Advent Activities.

Every year, I promise myself that I won't get overwhelmed with the busyness of the season.

I don't want to be a frazzled, hurried Mom who's trying to buzz through story time because there are gifts to wrap or cookies to bake.

There's always SO much more on our plates during the holidays which is why I LOVE  Advent Calendar Activities -- they keep me grounded & help me to enjoy what we love most about the holidays -- spending time together!

This FREE printable Thanksgiving Parade scavenger hunt - a fun family activity for Thanksgiving morning!

We love to have fun things to do on Thanksgiving Day -- like these FREE Thanksgiving coloring pages for kids and adults.  

One of our family traditions is to watch the Macy's parade together on Thanksgiving morning -- kind of the calm before the storm (of family and food ;) so I thought why not create a fun game to go with it!

Grab a copy of our newest scavenger hunt & keep kids entertained for a bit ;)

25 Christmas Countdown Ideas and activities perfect for toddlers, kids, teens and family!

I don't know about you but once December 1st rolls around, my kids turn into math wizards -- they are able to let you know at a moments notice how many days are left until Christmas.

It's amazing considering that the rest of the year they always need to ask me how many days are left in the week ;)

But I'll be honest -- having a countdown to Christmas (which usually includes some of these Advent calendar activities) is just as much fun for me as it is for them!

Kids, teens and adults will enjoy these FUN printable Thanksgiving Games for Adults and Kids -- perfect for holiday gatherings!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and one of our most visited posts is our "What's on My Phone" Gratitude Scavenger Hunt!

I know most people think this holiday is all about the turkey *my husband being at the top of that list* ;)  BUT it's really about gathering with family & friends to enjoy time together, share our gratitude and be thankful for each another.

So what better way to celebrate than with these games & activities that inspire FUN and cherished time with our favorite people!  And yes, many of these can be played in-person or virtually if you won't be able to gather with family this year.
