Easy Galentine's Day Gift

This is seriously the easiest gift to give one of your girlfriends! I made this 

mug with my Cricut but there are plenty of super cute mugs at Target too! 

What I put in the mug:

cute pennants (can be found in my free printables)

face mask

dark chocolates

Target gift card (you can't see it though!)

 

DIY Santa Salt Dough Ornaments!

This is my favorite DIY this season so far! It's super easy and an adorable keepsake :)

Salt dough recipe:

1 cup salt 

2 cups flour 

1 cup warm water

Combine salt and flour and slowly add in the warm water. Knead into a ball until it's a doughy texture. Mold some into a smaller ball (just enough for your child's hand to fit) and then roll out so it's about 1/4 inch think. Place your child's hand on top and press so it makes an imprint. Don't forget to use something like a straw to punch out a hole at the top so you can add a string to tie onto your tree! Once you're happy with your results, bake at 200 degrees for about 2 hours. Let them cool before painting with acrylic paint. I used Modge Podge to seal the paint so it lasts longer!

Have fun and happy holidays!

Polar Express Movie Night!

The Polar Express is one of my favorite Christmas books and movies so naturally I had to create a family movie night -- hot chocolate included!

I set up this hot cocoa bar for us all to make our hot chocolate before the movie started and included one of my free pennants! These ticket printables can be found from Thread Mama but I have some free ones as well :)

Have fun with your own Christmas movie nights!

Easy DIY Ornaments

These DIY ornaments are so easy to make, you won't want to stop making them! 

All you need is:

clear disc or sphere ornaments

yarn

tinsel

confetti or glitter or both

literally anything you want!

Stuff everything inside your ornament and shake so the glitter and confetti move around to your liking. Once you put the top back on, tie some yarn and tinsel around it and then add a string so it can go on your tree. That's it! So simple and they turn out so pretty!

All of my supplies are all from Michael's and some yarn is from Hobby Lobby.

Christmas Shelfie

A peek at my daughter's Christmas shelfie this year! 

I always look forward to decorating these shelves each month and it's so fun!

Thanksgiving Books

1 / 2 / 3 / 4

5 / 6 / 7

Just because we're all decorating for Christmas already, doesn't mean we have to forget Thanksgiving entirely! I'm not reading any Christmas/holiday books with Mackenzie until after Thanksgiving, so these are a great place to start -- I Am Thankful also has activities you and your kiddos can do in the back of the book!

Let me know if you check out any of these books!

Spooky Season Is Here!

It may only be August but I'm all about spooky season -- it's my favorite time of year and
