How to Make DIY Memories this Holiday Season

Published: Tue, 12/10/19

Tis' the Season !

December feels like it's flying by. But we still have plenty of time to create amazing memories with our kids. Personally our family is in the middle of "Concert Season." We had three concerts last weekend, and we have three concerts this weekend.

And while we love them, we don't want our memories of Christmas to be only concert memories.

During this season, it's particularly important for our family to make some DIY memories at home. You may feel the same way. Here are three ways to do that.

Cookie Baking
If there is one taste of the season, it's Ginger Bread Cookies. And if you can make a sweet house with it, all the better. Am I right? But don't let the daunting task of Gingerbread House making keep you away from these yummy cookies.

And the other fun thing to find on the cookie plate is super fun decorated sugar cookies. While this recipe is for simple round ones, there is nothing to say you can't bake the cookies and decorate them as you would like.

Heartfelt Gifts
Let's be real. Gift making isn't always fun.

Especially when you take into account little hands who want and need to help you. But they don't need to be that hard.

Put on some Christmas music, turn on your Christmas lights, lay out your supplies, and go to town.

We were on WCCO one year to demonstrate some amazingly doable gifts that the whole family can enjoy. This is the infamous segment where I said, "You take a jar and fill it with stuff."

There is other great ideas too.
