Holiday Gift Guide: For Him

 As I write this, my "him" is snoring on the couch with football blasting...  He did send me some ideas for this, so they're all man approved. 

Kindness Advent Calendar

As I was working on my gift guides and Cyber Week/Black Friday posts, I started to feel kind of weird.   Presents are nice, and I love me a good sale find, but more then anything,  I just want to be good mom who teaches my kids how amazing it feels to put a little kindness into the world.  

I decided to make a little kindness Advent calendar- also planning to put our daily task on a paper chain for something more visual for my small friends.  

I'd love it if anyone wants to follow along with us-

Holiday Gift Guide: For The Girls

 I am SO excited to share my 2020 gift guides- they're always some of my most popular posts, and I always appreciate how many people tell me they were helpful!  I did want to make a note though- of course I don't think any child needs all of these things (let alone any of it!) and my children definitely don't get all of these things for gifts!  

 My gifting mantra with my own children is: "something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read"- you can be pretty flexible with those categories, but it definitely helps to eliminate  an overwhelming gifting experience.  I am also planning to focus on ways to help make the holiday season about more than just presents- volunteering to help others, and family experiences.  

That being said- these are some of Ophelia's favorites and others I know she'd adore.  I'd say this age range is 3-8.

How To Make Halloween 2020 Special

I don't know how Halloween will work this year- trick or treating? Parties?  Probably not.  It's going to be strange for all of us.  

One thing I've learned in my past few years of parenting is that the little things (like a surprise balloon or visiting "the spooky stuff" at Target) are often the most exciting parts of a holiday for my little ones.  

Here are some ideas to make Halloween special this year:

Halloween pjs- some picks here.  

Decorate with bats or big big balloons.  

Make pumpkin shaped waffles! 

Ophelia adores these sticker books.  

A Halloween movie: Room on the Broom on Netflix is very cute,  and the classic Charlie Brown!

A witch pinata!  So fun.  

Some of our favorite Halloween books:  this one, this one, and this one.  

Some themed serveware is always a big hit- we have these bowls, and these cups are super cute.
