St Patrick’s Day Gift Tags

I have two tags for you today, one is more of a gift tag that could be paired with any fun gold or green treat. It would be great for teachers, neighbors, your kiddos, anyone that needs some love! The other is perfect for the Leprechaun to leave behind if he wants to leave any consolation prize for children trying to trap him.

I'm so luck to have you St Patricks Day gift tags. Perfect for teacher appreciation, or a fun little surprise for your kids.

Service Santa, a Christmas Family Tradition

I want to share a simple tradition that our family has that has brought a lot of joy and Christ-like feelings during the Christmas season for us. It’s so easy for us (and our kids!) to start thinking a whole lot about ourselves during the holidays. What do I want for Christmas? How many presents am I going to get? What is Santa going to bring ME? I feel like this little tradition has helped get the focus off of “me, me, me”, at least a little, and thinking of others.

How to Surprise Your Kids With a Cruise

This year for Christmas I wanted to gift my kids an experience. I know that’s like the trendy thing right now. And for good reason. But also, trends aside, we’re just getting to that point in life where the playroom is full, the closets are jam packed, and I do not want any more stuff in my house. With the kids getting a bit older as well I can’t get away with a lego set for most of them anymore. And heaven knows we don’t need any more legos anyway.… Read the rest

Nativity Hot Cocoa Bar

For our church Christmas party I was asked to be in charge of the Hot Chocolate bar. We were having more of spiritual and reverent agenda where we focused on the story of Christ’s birth, so I wanted the refreshments to reflect that. At first it seemed like a challenging task, how do I make Hot Chocolate reverent? But I will share what I came up with, I hope it is helpful to you!
