Paper Pinecone Preschool & Childcare Directory

This holiday season, save money and shop small by checking out used bookstores or consignment shops in town.

Second hand toys and books are a great way to save money and give new life to items that are often like new.

Puzzles and games are great second hand items. You can even get together with friends to trade items your kids no once find joy in.

Used book stores and libraries are a good place to pick up books in fabulous condition for a fraction of the price.

With kid’s interests changing all the time, swapping on your local Buy Nothing Group or with family and friends is a great way to cut costs while leaving a smaller imprint on our planet.

Are you team pumpkin pie or apple pie?

It’s true! Dictionary.com has named “67” the word of the year.
Are your kiddos still randomly shouting 6-7?

To all of the parents of young children, it gets easier.

Each stage of parenting has blessings and things that are difficult.

Try to embrace the things that become easier while overcoming new challenges and know you are not alone.

🎄The Guinness World Record for the tallest living Christmas tree goes to a Douglas Fir tree at Northgate Shopping Center in Seattle, WA in 1950 which stood 221 ft. tall. That’s taller than a 20-story building!

It’s easy to get busy and think that it’s our kids who are distracting us from important things but the reality is that at the end of the day, our children ARE the important work. 🥹

Making meaningful memories as a family can be challenging when life gets busy. 🥹

Family activities make great holiday gifts and you can do them when it is convenient or when you are looking for something fun to do. 📝

You can use a simple card and write in the activity to be used when the mood strikes.

Some ideas: a play, mini golf, bowling, an interactive art museum, painting, tickets to a monster truck show, etc. 🎠🏟️🎳🎪
