Cozy November — open tonight

Gratitude · indoor calm · screen-light Sundays · faith-friendly. Post-Halloween lane: warm lights, thank-you notes, soup-night games — not haunted, not FOMO streaming. Free starters first; short kits second.

Free starters (no purchase)

Gratitude circle (10 minutes) — Everyone shares one thank-you from today (people, meals, weather, Jesus-moments welcome). Write them on sticky notes and stick them on the fridge for the week. Close with a short prayer or quiet breath if that’s your home’s way.
Indoor “campfire” story — Turn one lamp on low. Phones in a basket. Read one chapter aloud — or retell a favorite Bible story in your own words. Kids draw what they heard.
Screen-light Sunday reset — Pick a short wholesome film or slideshow of family photos (under 90 minutes). After credits: each person names one kind thing they noticed. No autoplay void.
Thank-you card sprint — Three cards for teachers, grandparents, or a neighbor. Markers on the table; phones away. (~15 min)
Soup + one game — Dinner, then one board or card round — stop while it’s still fun. (~30–45 min)
