We recently threw a joint first birthday party for my daughter and my nephew (who were born only a day apart!). When brainstorming for the theme of the party we knew we needed a gender-neutral theme and wanted to keep it very inexpensive. “Wild One” met both criteria and was a smashing success. For ideas and tips on throwing a Wild One 1st birthday party keep reading!
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of winter. I despise the cold, the snow, and how everything looks dead. The only way to help keep my spirits lifted during the season is to have fun activities to look forward to. By creating a winter bucket list full of events to attend, food to enjoy, and family fun activities, winter becomes slightly more bearable. You’ll find free printables below to help create your own winter bucket list.
Christmas always sneaks up on me no matter how much I try to plan ahead. This year I am determined to get all my shopping done early so there is no stress to take away from the joy of the season. To stay organized, I use these holiday event and gift planning sheets. I separate each Christmas (or holiday that you celebrate) event and make detailed notes about what I need to shop for and bring using these printables. I hope you find this Christmas gift organizer sheet as useful as I do.
Want to be the real winner of the upcoming holiday season? Give experience gifts to the kids (and adults!) on your shopping list instead of toys. Don’t get me wrong toys are great but typically families already have WAY TOO MANY. Instead, give a gift that makes great memories without cluttering up the house.
I just made a pocket advent calendar for my family to use every December and I can’t wait to begin this tradition. In this post, I’ve brainstormed a number of advent calendar fillers to put in the pockets. In the 24 days leading up to Christmas, children will look forward to discovering what is in each day’s pocket. I’ve included fun activities, yummy treats, and little presents. Many of these advent calendar fillers also make great stocking stuffers!
