I love Christmastime…absolutely love it! And I love sharing my fun Christmas traditions for families, because Christmas is a particularly wonderful season to celebrate and spend time with my little ones.
Jennifer and I are excited to share 20 super fun, super cute Christmas traditions from each of our families. And we would love if you comment below and share some of your favorite family Christmas traditions.
Don’t you love it when your kiddo comes home and repeats an oh-so lovely new “phrase” they learned at school or on the playground? I like to call it playground smack talk. And today I’m talking about how to handle it when good kids bring home bad words…and am asking you to share how you do, too!
I know there’s only so much we can do to protect our kids, albeit from owies, hurt feelings, dangerous or embarrassing situations…and being exposed to kid “smack talk.” Because part of our job as a mom is to let our little ones experience the world. Experience their own emotions and feelings, and experience expressing them.
And with that, comes the constant testing, pushing boundaries, and pushing buttons.
One of my buttons? Potty talk……..

Now that the fabulous turkey dinner has been enjoyed and the pumpkin pie has been devoured…the holiday season has “officially” arrived! I say “officially,” because it’s been following me around everywhere for a good two weeks.
It also means that it’s time for fun holiday traditions…and today I’m going to open up the discussion about Elf on the Shelf
This blog idea started when a group of us mamas were casually talking about Christmas and our favorite family traditions. I mentioned our Elf, Jingles, and how much the kids adore her visiting our house every December, and a few of the moms groaned.
That’s when I realized that this adorable little elf tradition may not be everyone’s idea of a good time……….

Who loves snagging “Happy Hour” deals? I certainly do! That’s why I was excited to learn more about a fantastic service called UnBOOKed – a company that finds out when your local service providers are not busy, and posts their available times at more affordable prices.
It’s basically like finding Happy Hour discounts for some of your favorite services like massages, hair appointments, yoga classes, etc. Sweet, right?! Even sweeter, UnBOOKed is giving away a $20 off UnBOOKed Appointments promo code to five lucky readers. Make sure to enter below!
UnBOOKed likes to think of themselves as kind of “Priceline” in the local service industry. As you know, every business has their busy times and their off times…and UnBOOKed works with your favorite places to target when they have more availability to fill appointments.
To me, November represents the perfect month to focus on gratitude, and I hope these 10 ways to practice gratitude will inspire you.
Because, let’s face it, sometimes in the craziness of the day… kissing boo boos, wiping noses, calming fussies, correcting tantrums, sitting in school carpool, cleaning up spills, washing the 10th load of laundry for the day, helping with homework, playing referee to kid squabbles, etc., etc., etc…it’s easy to lose perspective.
