Christmas Ideas & Activities

Grandparents can be tricky to buy for! It feels like they have most of what they want or need. I love a good sentimental gift that will get used. I've gifted all of these to my parents or in-laws at some point and they've all been a hit! 

1. Digital picture frame: We've gifted the Aura brand. But, there's plenty of brands that are less expensive. I've heard great things about Frameo too! Anyone with access to the app and frame can add pictures from anywhere! My parents live far away and they love seeing updated pictures each week of the grandkids. The pictures change on their own & you can upload videos too! 

2. Picture Calendar: I make these on Shutterfly (they always have discounts available)  every year for my parents! (But, there's plenty of places to make them). I just upload pics from the year of family and grandkids. You can do a desk or wall calendar. 

3. Storyworth: Each week a prompt is sent that Storyworth picks OR you can pick to send for them to write about. You can see ahead of time what will be sent. They write their thoughts AND can add pictures. Then, it formats into a book. We gifted this to my dad & father-in-law one year. My father-in-law finished his and we got one printed for everyone in the family. Once he passed away, it was even more special to have & hear stories we had never heard that he had wrote in his own words. ❀️ 

4. Art storing picture frame: how cool are these?! We use them at our house for our kids' art creations, but what a fun gift for grandparents too! Perfect for holding notes or art from grandkids! And I love being able to store up to 50 pieces of art behind the picture on display. It's fun to look back through!

PART 2. Raise your hand if you don't want crap in your kids' stockings πŸ™‹πŸ½β€β™€οΈ . I'm tired of the crap. Ready for the things that are fun & get used πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

Stocking stuffers don't have to be filled with crap toys! There's plenty of great, practical, useful stocking stuffers that kids will actually use (and that are not astronomically priced for a stocking) πŸ‘ŠπŸ»

*MOST* of these items are around $10 or less with the exception of the Number Bots & Walkie Talkies (which btw ...the best deal for those is at Walmart!)

This has provided my kids with great entertainment the past couple of weeks! It's been out of stock forever, but now arrives in 2 days! If you need winter break entertainment - this is your ticket! 

There is a Target version of this house too! I've heard mixed reviews and have NOT personally tried it. But, it is cheaper! So, it may be a better option for you!

I also linked a few non-Christmas themed ones if you want this for that LOOONG week between Christmas & the New Year πŸ™ƒ

I have a lot of beef with this method. But, the overall takeaway is to just use pancakes molds or your dash mini waffle maker! Metal cookie cutters + pancakes = a disaster. 

But, I do love these cookie cutters for actual cookies! Good quality and good designs πŸ‘ŒπŸ» (just don't use them for pancakes)

30% kid clothes at target! Some great options for toddler girl & big girls holiday dress & sweatshirts!

For the past few years I've wanted to try this, but always had a reason not to. But, no more! I'm making it happen. I made 1 trip to the dollar spot at Target (dollar store works too!) & grabbed a couple things for a few of the days (i.e. Christmas craft, hot chocolate bombs, mini Christmas puzzle), but kept the rest pretty basic. You can make this as simple or as involved as you want! 

I compiled a list of some activities for you. The list can be copied & pasted to a word doc & modified to add in your own traditions! 

Head to my IG if you want the list sent to ya!

I had NEVER heard of this! I ordered a Christmas packet a while back & once we tried it - we were hooked! There's also animal packets, princesses, space, dinosaurs, unicorns, & more! This would be a great activity for colder months (I know we will be doing it!) 


 🌟 TIPS
β€’Be sure to press down everywhere on the foil sheet once it's covered the sticker. We pushed down with our full hand and then used our finger to run it all over the sticker in order to get the best coverage. 
β€’Foil sheets can get multiple uses. If you use one to only color a small section of sticker, save it & use up the rest on another small area. 
β€’Recommended for ages 4+ (and I'd agree with that)

Out of all the activities I've tested, this one kept her attention the longest! 55 min is a long freaking time! We had Christmas music playing, I was cleaning, & she was truly enjoying this! 

I think showing her an inspo picture helped, as well as the materials we used. I also think encouraging her to draw a "background" helped as well! Craft paper gingerbread man - you the real MVP! πŸ–οΈ 

Comment "KRAFT" if you want a list of the supplies we used! 

PS. gel crayons are really cool to use! My kids love them because they glide so smooth. BUT, beware, they can get on rugs or carpet & will need spot cleaner to come out!

We ALL know this time of year is crazy. I, like I'd imagine most of you, am always  trying to find ways to help remind my kids (and myself) about the magic of Christmas. The magic of giving. The magic of kindness. The magic of spreading cheer & remembering what it's truly all about.  When @demdaco showed me this ornament, I had to try 'er out! 

This @santaskindness ornament is a simple (but fun!) daily reminder to help with all of these things. It starts a countdown on Dec 1 & goes all the way through Christmas (and even gives some extra daily sneak peeks of Santa at the North Pole!). I love it for my kids, but also for me too because I need all the help I can get πŸ™ƒ. I am excited to sit down & do it as a family!

WHAT?! I was so pumped about these bags! I won't get to see my parents this Christmas, which means my kids don't get to see their grandparents. So, this is going to add a little something special to the gift we send them! 

I'm looking forward to these bags going back and forth between our family & friends for years to come! 

🌟 About the bags:
β€’Can be reused infinitely
β€’You have to have a log in to the website to create a greeting, but the recipient does NOT need a log in to view the greeting 
β€’4 sizes available (XL, Large, small & gift card size)
β€’Snap closure, so tissue paper is not needed if you don't want it!

Got this banner to hang in my  Christmas reading nook for my kids! The letters are big & soft and it includes the loops to hang it on! 

#LTKkids #LTKfamily #LTKHoliday
Going to be doing a lot of wrapping the next couple months! This space was stressing me out & I decided to take charge. Feeling much better about this situation now πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
