DIY North Pole Breakfast

Making little memories and traditions year after year is always what means the most to me during the holiday season. We have many fun Christmas traditions that my kids look forward to year after year. One of their favorites is our North Pole Breakfast. This usually happens when our Elf, Tinsel arrives. If you don’t have an elf, or want to do it later in the month, that is totally fun too! This is an excuse to have some fun decor, and a few sugary treats in the morning! 

Tickets to see FERDINAND!

Come along with me to the learn about social media Come along with me to the learn about social media safety for teens at the @instagram Screen Smart Event! 📲✨

Instagram is making it easier for parents to feel confident about their teens’ online experiences with Teen Accounts. The Teen Accounts have built-in protections that limit who can contact them, what content they see, and how they spend their time.

Parents, set the right boundaries for your family with: 
✅ Automatic safety settings
🎬 PG-13 guidance for content 
🌙 Sleep Mode + other screen time tools
🤝 Parental approval for changes
💡 Parent-to-Parent Tip: Keep the conversation open. Ask your teen what they’re seeing online, connection and curiosity go a long way!

Online safety is so important to me as a mom. I am happy to partner with @instagram & @meta to help share this info with other parents! Learn more about Instagram’s family tools at Meta’s Family Center- familycenter.meta.com
