Madame Mixie

Jiminy Cricket has always been one of my favorite Disney friends! 🦗💫 His motto, “Let your conscience be your guide,” is such a beautiful reminder to listen to that little voice inside that nudges us toward kindness, truth, and bravery. A little conscience goes a long way! 💛🌟

Madame Mixie pulled out her Valentine’s decorations today and found an old childhood friend—Tenderheart Bear. 🧸💗

Seeing him reminded me… love that feels safe, steady, and kind is the most magical gift we can give kids.

Here’s to a season filled with gentle hearts, big hugs, and little acts of love. 🌈✨

Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄✨
May your homes be filled with warmth, wonder, and a little holiday magic. As ’Twas the Night Before Christmas so perfectly says,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Wishing you a day full of love, peace, and sweet moments to cherish. ❤️

This year we tried something new for Santa’s sugar cookies.🎅🍪
We hand-painted them — and wow… they turned out absolutely beautiful.

Such a fun, creative way to slow down, let the kids express themselves, and make something truly special. Highly recommend trying it at least once! ✨🎨

Tonight we’re soaking in a little Christmas magic ✨
Taking my kids to watch their niece dance in The Nutcracker—one of those classic Christmas stories that never gets old. There’s just something about the music, the tradition, and seeing it through kids’ eyes that makes the season feel extra special. 🎄🩰

Baking in the kitchen today with one of my favorite Christmas records from childhood playing 🎄🎶
It took me right back to Christmas mornings and my favorite gift ever — my Cabbage Patch doll.
Some memories never fade. 💕

✨📖 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a holiday classic reminding us that being different is something to celebrate. A cozy, heartwarming story about kindness, courage, and letting your light shine—perfect for Christmas storytime. 🦌❤️🎄

Looking for a cozy Christmas tradition? 🎄
Try reading A Charlie Brown Christmas together, then snuggle up as a family to watch the movie. It’s a sweet way to slow down, spark conversation, and remember the true meaning of Christmas—kindness, togetherness, and love. 💛✨

Madame Mixie had snow much fun with some amazing kindergarteners today! ❄️
We read Snow by Roy McKie & P.D. Eastman, then brought the fun indoors—playing in “snow,” building snowmen and igloos, and creating beautiful snowflakes. Learning + imagination = winter magic! ⛄✨
