Easy Elf On The Shelf Ideas

 It's that time of year yet again. Elves are coming! 

    Ok but seriously I regret starting this tradition at times, and then there are times I'm glad I did. The smile on my kids face and the joy that this little creepy doll brings is worth it. When I was first introduced to this guy my kid calls "Snowball" I searched pinterest for all the ideas only to become very overwhelmed. This tradition was started with good intentions however I found myself exhausted trying to do all the crazy elf antics. There were days that I would jolt awake in the morning as I heard QD stirring in his room and would have to rush to go move the dang thing or risk losing the magic.  

    Over the years I learned that I was not "That Mom" I didn't have the energy to make elaborate scenes for Snowball, and frankly I don't like the mess that comes with some of the ideas out there. I still have to live in my house without touching the elf. I figured out that I could keep things simple and toss in a few bigger events without having the magic ruined. 

Holiday Gift Guides

It's that time of year again where we start to get gifts for the people in our lives. Who are you buying for?

Hiya! Happy Shopping err I mean Happy Holidays! I finally finished my holiday gift guides, with ideas for anyone on your lists. Most of you are probably like me and wait until about now to start buying gifts, unlike my Mom who will see gifts ideas throughout the year buy them and put in the "gift tote". I tell my husband every year that I'm going to do the same and every year here we are mid November figuring out gifts. 

No matter who you are shopping for this year I have you covered with ideas. I’ve rounded up some of the coolest things I could find. These are items I’d personally buy for myself, or gifts I would happily buy for others. I even gathered help from my son for ideas. 

When you shop with me through these links I get a very tiny affiliate commission, there is no extra charge for you, and it means the world to me when you do choose to shop things I’ve shared, or even just click a link.
