    My favorite thing about this family is that it shows me that families can be happy. I’m used to a dysfunctional family where Christmas involves a lot of stress and yelling and dread. This gives me hope that things don’t have to be that way and I can stop that cycle for my own kids ones day.

It seems y’all always take the time to let them try things on their own, even when it would be faster or easier for you to take over. It’s great for their confidence and of course their motor development! Thanks for being such a great example of patient parenting! Merry Christmas! 💕

    Hi!
    Fellow 3D-printer user from the Netherlands here! With every 3D printer there is a fire hazard due to the high temperatures. But nothing to worry about! I make sure there is always someone home when I'm printing and I have a tent like case around the printer. Maybe a good recommendation for you to, with all the little kids around. Just to make sure they don't burn themselves when they are curious and touch the hot print-bed
