Elf on a Shelf - It's That Time of Year!

Last year was the first time we did the Elf on a Shelf. Our elf arrived after Thanksgiving dinner. It was great fun! But, I think we may have added him to our family a bit too early. After a few weeks, we were running out of ideas! By the end of the day, mom and dad were tired and coming up with a clever and funny new adventure became torture. This year, I did find an awesome idea from Domestic Femme . She suggested making a calender! How brilliant! It falls right in place with my obsession with LISTS! So, I have decided to give her idea a try this year. If you visit her blog, she has a handy little calender that you can click on and ease some of the workload of your Holiday festivities! source This year, I've been looking around Pinterest hoping to find new and clever ideas for our friendly elf. What has been the best Elf experience you have had with your kids so far? ! A few of th...

How To Find Calmness

If you are like me, you feel as if you are pulled from many different directions. There is the stress of family, home, work, bills, children....on and on. But with all of our daily stresses, we deserve to treat ourselves to a little kindness so that we can regroup and be in a positive mind set.

I know she didn't mean it as a positive thing at the time - she felt that I was living in a dream world. But, I think this is how I have kept myself in check over the years. When things are really stressful, I create a "scene" I guess you could say. We are affected by all of our senses and with that in mind, I create an atmosphere that calms and relaxes me. I always start by lighting a candle. It reminds me of my grandparents home when I was a little girl. They had a ...

Our Hamster Funeral

My daughters have had the cutest little dwarf hamster for close to 4 years now. But, she had taken a bit of a bad turn and we noticed that she was not well. Sadly, I knew what was soon to come and I had to explain it to my children. Having a pet, is hard when it's time to say goodbye. Once our little Shelby passed, the girls decorated a special box for our dear little friend and made flowers to bury with her. With the help from Daddy, we had a proper little funeral and even said a few words. The girls took turns covering up their friend. I was very proud of how well they cared for Shelby and the love they gave to her. She was a great first pet.
