20 Playful Holiday Board Books for Baby (great for ages 0-2)
These 20 Playful Holiday Board Books are a great way to introduce the magic of the season to baby! Reading holiday books with my girls is one of my all-time favorite holiday traditions! At the start of every holiday season, I bring down my extremely heavy plastic bin of holiday books from storage, I grab Elliette and Parker as well as thick cozy blanket, a couple mugs (with lids) of hot cocoa, and we snuggle up on our sofa to read all of the holiday books we have collected over the years. They both know the baby board books by heart and Elliette can now read them to us (heart melting). We read all of our holiday books from cover-to-cover, taking turns on who gets to pick the next book. Sharing time together while wrapped up in each others arms is perhaps the best tradition of all. Every year I gift the girls a couple of holiday books. I also pick up some holiday books at thrift stores or the Little Free Libraries around our neighborhood. Now our collection is quite large and ranges ...
75 Fun + Whimsical Holiday Gifts
If there is one thing I like to do more then make healthy food for my girls, it's that I love to SHOP! I am a shopper, through and through. You can find me crusin' Anthro whenever I am stressed out or need a new outfit for a very rare date night. You can also find me searching for some obscure item on amazon at 3 in the morning. I would say it's in my blood, but everyone around me absolutely hates to shop. So, when the holidays come around, I go all out. I hold nothing back! I might get a little ttoooooooooo crazy obsessed with it all 👈🏼 like you didn't already know this about me! But this year, when I started looking for gifts for my girls, I got stumped. Not with Ellie, she was easy - a ton of art supplies and the entire Little Explorer list (see below) and she was set. It was Parker who threw me for a loop. Maybe it's because I don't think we need any more toddler toys in our house, or maybe it's because she really only likes to walk around in her butterfly wings while ...
