What a lovely day yesterday hosting a little punch
What a lovely day yesterday hosting a little punch party for some teen girls!
Everyone bought a plate of food to share, and we of course served punch too! Then the girls sat down together and made some punch cards for their goals for the year. They spent way more time on this than I expected and I had to keep cutting more cards for them.
A reminder that atmosphere matters, and community is important. There's a big difference between "You need to come up with some goals for the year" and "Let's host a little party and celebrate new ideas for a new year together!"
Getting others involved (even if it's just a little party within your own family), making it special, sharing some snacks, putting on some music... that's a whole different atmosphere. You can do this with anything!
Thank you to @emiliamariehome for the great punch party idea. The girls loved it.
