📌 The Weekend Sticky Note Small reminders for a happy weekend.
💡 The Weekend Lifehack: The "Yes" Hour Pick one hour this weekend where you say "Yes" to (almost) anything reasonable. You want to play Lego? Yes. You want cookies for a snack? Yes. You want to wear pyjamas to the grocery store? Yes. It fills their connection cup for the whole week (and usually surprises them!).
❤️ Family To-Do: The "Time Capsule" Ornament Take 10 minutes this weekend to write down your favorite family memory from 2025 on a small slip of paper. Roll it up, tie it with a ribbon, and tuck it deep into the branches of your Christmas tree (or inside a clear ornament bulb). Read it next year when you decorate!
🤣 The Giggle: Q: What goes "Oh, Oh, Oh"? A: Santa walking backwards!
🎄 Ottawa Parents: We made something special for you!
