31 Things To Do Before December 31st

I can’t believe December is already here. I swear I just got used to writing “2018” like yesterday.. Anyways, I am super excited for the holidays this year. Now that my youngest is two, I feel like she is more aware of what’s going on and it’s so fun to watch my girls make memories together. December and the holiday season also means winter break from school (please pray for my sanity during this time). I am always looking for fun, family-friendly things to do to fill this extra time. If you are in the same boat as me, I put together a list of 31 activities so you would have an option for each day of the month. It’s sure to keep you busy!

The girls’ entire outfits are from Gymboree’s new Holiday collection. I love that they have coordinating patterns so the girls can still match without wearing the exact same thing and sacrificing their individual style. They absolutely love these reindeer headbands too, so festive! Gymboree has some of the cutest stuff right now and you can get 20% off your purchase of $40 or more with the code GIVEHAPPYHBT.
