When it comes to creating kindness inside your home, gratitude is always the key.

There is no more perfect time to get out there and show some thanks and reflect on what we are so grateful for but during the month of November.

So if you and your family are counting down to winter break these 24 days of thanks will not only help your kids reflect on the spirit of the season, but also show them just how much there is to be thankful for this time of year
