Happy holidays!!! This season we want to share some our favorite posts and tidbits from our friends on the web and from our archives…

Like this recipe from Pamela Salzman for delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. They’re the perfect gift for your neighbor, children’s teachers or any chocolate lover!

And this Christmas playlist from Heather at the Wisch List. There’s nothing like some holiday tunes to fill your home with joy. And if you’re over at the Wisch List, be sure to look for her special hot chocolate recipe.

Or if your holiday to-do list has left you feeling a bit overwhelmed, check out our Simplify the Holiday Series:  Simplify Your Gift-Giving, Simplify Your Holiday Traditions, Simplify Your Holiday Meal, and Tips for a Peaceful Celebration.

For inspiration and practical steps to keep life simple for your children, especially during the holidays, visit Simplicity Parenting.

Of course don’t forget to take time to slow down and appreciate the moment. Replace Your Wish List with a Gratitude List and remember Your Presence is the Present.

Wishing you and yours a very happy, peaceful holiday and a joyful New Year.
