Holiday Craft: Painted Paper Plate Christmas Tree!

Dec 23

Tis’ the season to get crafty! Christmas is only a few days away and I have a fun holiday project that you can do with your children to get them into the spirit. I came up with this idea after cleaning up our cluttered “wrapping station” and noticed we had quite a few empty boxes to break down for trash pick up. Using paper plates and a brown box flap, I assembled a Christmas tree for Toodie to paint. When she was all done personalizing her tree we hung it by the door to greet guests during the holiday festivities this week.

Holiday Trends At The Children’s PLACE! #PLACEHoliday

Dec 10

Shortly before Thanksgiving I was invited to shop at The Children’s PLACE for their #PLACEHoliday event. In my previous posts I have always ranted and raved about how much I adore shopping here for my daughter. If you have a child then I am sure you have experienced the struggle of having to constantly replace clothes and update wardrobes due to their ability to grow like a weed! This is why I stick to affordable clothing that can grown into and not just worn for a month or two. At The Children’s PLACE I am always able to find stylish clothing for my four year old. She may be little but she loves to look good! A little fashionista at heart, she gets excited when she sees the big blue bag sitting in her room just waiting to be rummaged through. As a mom I don’t mind because I am always getting the most for my money here. It doesn’t hurt that they frequently have amazing sales and coupons that can be stacked right on top for extra savings. I could keep on going but I am sure by now you all know how much I enjoy shopping here!

Making The Most Of Black Friday Shopping At Target #MyKindOfHoliday

Nov 29

It’s that time of year again. Black Friday shopping has begun, already. This year many retailers have opened their doors early and given shoppers a head start. At this time last year I would typically be struggling to stay awake, still shuffling through my lists, and hitting people’s ankles repetitively with my cart as I browsed each aisle like a walking zombie. Not this year. For the first time I headed straight to Target to begin my shopping and made it out in under the normal 5-7 hours. Yes I calculated this given my experience two years ago! It was a breeze this time around and much less stressful. Target had their ad out ahead of time which made it easy for early birds like myself to get organized.

Discover Your Favorite Holiday Scents This Season! #SuaveScents

Nov 20

The holidays bring upon so many wonderful traditions, memories, and festive scents. During this time of year you will find a several fragrant candles and diffusers scattered within my house. I love anything Frosted Cranberry and how it fills each room with a soft touch of sweetness. It’s crisp and welcoming. As soon as guests arrive they walk into a delicious wave of sugared fruity-ness. When I close my eyes I picture a room full of family and endless smiles. This scent will always remind me of Thanksgiving dinner and setting up the Christmas tree afterwards. There is something special about holiday scents. It isn’t because of the cute packaging but more of how it allows us to reminisce and remember the important moments. Isn’t it amazing that a single scent can ignite a spark of vivid memories and happy thoughts? Our nose is one powerful tool!
