My Christmas Favorites

Oh how I love December!

The scent of fresh balsam and cedar filling the house, crafts with kids that seemed like a good idea before the mess starts, baking cookies and having nothing to show for it the next day because it's Christmas and perfectly acceptable to eat an entire batch in 12 hours time, real Christmas trees that need to be swept under 30 times a day because your kids insist on rearranging ornaments all day long , hearing "can I have that for Christmas?" after EVERY toy commercial (thank you so much Disney junior), and then while reading the true story of Christmas to your toddler she says to you "Mommy, Christmas is Jesus's birthday! Yep mommy, it's every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30"...oh my child, you wish Christmas was every Tuesday and Thursday! LOL 

Our first Holiday Craft of the month:

 DIY Christmas Tree Crayons 

This was so much fun! Ava helped to peel the crayons, of course.. Then we broke them and placed them in our silicone tree tray and baked them at 275 in the oven for 10 minutes or until they melted. We let them cool and then placed the tray in the freezer for a few minutes to really harden. 

Volia! A fun and festive crayon and the perfect stocking stuffer for the kiddos.

Here are a few Fun & Unique Gift Ideas:

For the Glam Girl: Festive Nail Color 

Bow On Top Trio

I love julep nail polishes, they go on easily and last for a while.

 The shades are also really great.
