We spent last weekend in the basement clearing out our teeny-tiny guest room/craft room/storage room/place where all the stuff to sell, donate, and pass along gets stacked and tossed.

At our house, not only does Santa get to feast on freshly baked Christmas cookies and eggnog (or a smoothie depending on what the Little Helper decides), but he is also gifted with special Santa ornaments, handmade with love. Ever since she was tiny, the Little Helper has made sure that Santa gets a special present – she is often more concerned with making sure he gets his gift than about what might be under the Christmas tree with her own name on it!

Ornaments are always on our list of Christmas crafts to do over the holidays, and I have shared a number of Christmas ornaments kids can make in previous posts. You might want to bookmark them now and come back to them later – Reindeer ornaments, Pom Pom ornaments, Nature Inspired ornaments, or even Elf ornaments, and Grinch ornaments!

The Little Helper often gives her hand-made treasures as Christmas gifts to teachers, coaches, grandparents. and other special people in her life. And of course, Santa!

This year we thought it might be Continue reading →

It has been a couple of years since my last post on Christmas cards kids can make so I thought it was time for a little update.

One of my favorite Christmas activities with My Little Holiday Helper is creating our annual Christmas cards. It’s a nice way to ease into the holiday season, sitting down with that first glass of eggnog and maybe some freshly baked gingerbread cookies, and getting busy with glitter and gel pens. And the best part is knowing that by the end of the afternoon, you will have beatiful hand-crafted gifts in hand for the friends, teachers, coaches, and relatives on your Christmas card list. Oh and don’t forget Santa – Santa Claus always loves a sweet home-made card when he stops by!

Some of these are cards Continue reading →

It took me a few years to convince Hubby Helper that the Elf on the Shelf would be a fun addition to our family; a magical delight like Santa, and not a creepy stalker-like maker-of-nightmares. But once I convinced him, he jumped in with both feet. Bellae came to join our family, and life has never been the same! Continue reading →
