12 Cookie Recipes for The Holidays

12 Cookie Recipes for the Holidays! Here are my favorite cookie recipes for the holidays! Most of these are super simple so you should definitely bake these with your family!

My local gym, spin/boxing/barre place has temporarily closed for the rest of the month so now I really am just staying in. The only reason I would leave my apartment every day was to go workout. It would be easy to fall into a minor depression and get stuck thinking about all the things that suck right now but I am choosing (after being upset for a while) to remain positive. What else can we do?

Activities To Do At Home With The Kids

• Bake and cook
• Build gingerbread houses (we’re doing this over FaceTime with my family)
• Drive around your neighborhood and look at Christmas lights
• Play board games
• Watch movies; Elf is definitely on repeat over here
• Go for a walk
• Go hiking (if you are fortunate enough to live in an area where you can do this) or bike riding
• Make hot chocolate
• Make hot chocolate bombs
• Go caroling via Zoom calls with friends
