This holiday season, I have been into creating new Christmas traditions for my kids. Just a few days ago, we started using our new decorated advent gift boxes to count down until Christmas -- my daughters have been having so much fun opening the boxes each morning to find little treats and surprises for them nestled inside! Christmas Pickle Ornament Yesterday, I was in a local dollar store and was very happy to find glass pickle ornaments for just $1 each! I've heard of the tradition of hiding a glass pickle ornament in the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, and have always been curious about Continue reading...
7 Christmas Advent Calendars
I just love advent calendars. Since I've created my gift box advent calendar for my kids, I've been noticing other really great advent calendars from other blogs. I'd love to create one of these other advent calendars and add to the fun my kids and I have been having with our advent calendar! Gift Box Advent Calendar To create my family's advent calendar, I gathered some of the mini gift boxes I've saved over the years. I used some scrapbook paper to decorate the boxes, and either hand numbered them or used number stickers to number each box. In each box, I placed special treats Continue reading...
Christmas Advent Calendar Boxes
Now that December is here, my kids absolutely cannot wait for Christmas! So, I came up with the idea of creating cute numbered advent calendar boxes -- my kids can open one up each day as we count down to Christmas. Yesterday, I created a few advent calendar boxes, for 23, 22, 21, 20 and 19 days until Christmas. I'll eventually add the other boxes as we get closer to Christmas! In each box, I nestled yummy treats, stickers, and other fun finds. They opened the 23 days until Christmas box yesterday to find a large piece of bubble gum each. They were happy to get the gum! I got my Continue reading...

Christmas Decorating
My Recollections ornament boxes makes unpacking the Christmas ornaments so much easier. It snowed here in New Jersey yesterday. My daughters were so excited! I am trying to wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas, but I know at least one of my daughters would like to start decorating for the Christmas holiday NOW! Especially since the snow has put them both in the holiday spirit -- one of my daughters has been wearing a Santa's hat to bed every night already!

Thankful Banner – Giving Thanks
As busy moms, we can sometimes forget to take the time to think just how much we have to be thankful for. We get so wrapped up in our families' busy schedules, that we don't take a moment to step back and look at the big picture. So, as Thanksgiving nears, I wanted to start a project for my family that will not only add some fun holiday color to our home, but will help us to realize how lucky we are to have each other, our home, our kids' school, our community, and more. Thanksgiving Thankful Banner I've seen Thanksgiving thankful banners on Continue reading...
Mom Blog Giveaways
As you all probably know, I just love to read other mom blogs! I love seeing how other moms organize and decorate their homes, and I like trying out their recipes! Something else I love about mom blogs is their giveaways -- I am always entering them, and have been lucky with them as of late.

There is even a contest running on Mom Home Guide right now -- a chance to win a $500 online shopping spree from Lamps Continue reading...
