As you all prepare for being with loved ones and getting gifts – remember that it’s often the:

Simple Things

that can be the most sentimental.

I have an idea that won’t cost you many cents!

For your kiddos:

Save those Amazon boxes and purchase moving boxes!

Gift them the opportunity to build and decorate their own compound!

You all can even put some pillows, blankets, and/or mattresses in there – some soft twinkle lights. Have some different rooms.

Get all cozy and hear each other fuss about “that’s my spot” cause we gotta always be on one!

You can probably do this end to end for $50 and even for “free” if you tap into community.

Feedback from my son, King Elijah, on 11.21.25: “Not gonna lie – that might be one of the best forts ever made”.

Will post more on Lonisa Mari YouTube.
