Anyone else getting a little Winter Break cabin fever? It’s about 10 degrees outside here and we haven’t gotten out of pajamas in days. The kids are having a blast with all their Christmas gifts but also driving each other a little nutty and me! I made this New Year’s Eve activity for kids last night. It’s a free printable… Read More
We believe in Santa Claus. We love the jolly old man. I’ve noticed over the past year or so, he seems to be getting a bad rap in our country. Along with the poor Elf on the Shelf, last year and even more so this year, I see negative articles and posts. Now I’m not trying to convince anyone to… Read More
By: Courtney Byrne This year the kids watched the movie Elf for first time. They thought it was absolutely hysterical. Their favorite part is how Elf eats all sugar.

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by John Deere. In addition, this holiday season, John Deere sent us some items for the purpose of review. As always, all opinions are my own. While I’ve been Christmas shopping for my kids for the better part of a decade, I’m a newbie when it comes to shopping for little boys. It’s only been about… Read More
The years seem to be flying by. I wish there was a way to pause time for a bit but no matter how hard we try to, it’s suddenly December and another year is coming to a close. The years pass too quickly and perhaps the month that flies the fastest is December. With children I find this to be… Read More
