Tis the season and with the kids just about out of ideas for keeping busy while it snows, why not try my favorite holiday tradition?
Salt dough handprint ornaments.
This is my last post before Christmas… so I wanted to make it one you could build on, yourself.
Tradition
Tradition is built on years of doing the same things, and these ornaments have been a consistent since Addie was born.
I love seeing how their hands grow, and even doing a few extras to use as gift tags for the grandparents.
My favorite, is making ornaments with friends! It gives my mama friends a place to go, a craft to enjoy, and while they bake, the kids can have lunch and watch a festive film while we take a break at the dining room table and catch up!

It really is all that simple! So get to baking these memorable ornaments today and enjoy the tradition of memory making in the moment of now.
