The Little Paper

Family Day, Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year! Oh, My!
February is a great month to do-it-up family style. Just look at the line-up… a long weekend, cards, chocolates and cookies and unconditional mama-love. Throw a giant paper dragon or two, board games, skiing, sledding and skating into a month custom-made for coziness, comfort food, reflection, relaxation and you’ll probably find yourselves discovering what you’re really into as tribe. How does your family roll?

Here’s a sampling of what we’ve found inspiring, motivating and interesting this month…

I never liked Valentine's Day much as a grown up but, now that there are littles in the mix, I actually like it a great deal. Baking sugar cookies, scattering pink and red jellybeans on the breakfast table, making and receiving valentines with my girls and, more recently, helping my elder daughter navigate grade school be-mine-etiquette all combine to make it a pretty lovely little mid-winter holiday.
