Toddlers are adorable, toddlers are magical, and toddlers love everything.
They also tend to be destructive to themselves, their siblings, and the homes they reside in.
So here are some ideas for toddlers that are not a passive-aggressive message of revenge to their tired, hardworking parents.

Those special traditions get us into the spirit of the Christmas season and create lasting memories. When I was little my parents would always let us open one gift after mass on Christmas Eve. It was always matching family pajamas. I love the tradition so much that I’ve continued it with my own family.
Below is a list of traditions to start with your family this Christmas season.
