21 Fun Weekend Picks
Happy Friday everyone -- yay for the upcoming weekend! Before I launch into the event roundup, I wanted to encourage you all to check out the posts Asha and I have been writing for Minimalist Holidays -- there are so many great ideas for shifting your perspective and practice to make the holidays simpler and thereby more fun and manageable! For example, Asha has shared wonderful and useful ideas on how to shorten your gift list and to-do list, and focus on easy holiday rituals. And this weekend, Laurel and I will be working on easy kid crafted and DIY food gifts, and I will most certainly be rocking the crockpot.
