Christmas Traditions

December 4, 2015 By Callie Leave a Comment

Ask my Dad and he’ll tell you we don’t have any traditions. He’ll also tell you I’m obsessed with them. I love how every family can start their own traditions and bring some along from their family of origin too.

Of course you saw earlier how we cut down our own tree. Our first year as a family I was barely mobile and the only reason we even had a tree is because my mom brought her fake tree over and fully decorated it. Childbirth was not my friend.

The second year hubs insisted we not spend that ridiculous amount of money and go to Home Depot for our tree. I was insistent on taking pictures and look how lovely they turned out.

I had this one made into a mug-no doubt! That’s just how we roll!

So we have cut down our tree for the second year just like I did when we lived in Massachusetts and trekked out like Christmas Vacation and picked our tree.

Next up was writing Row’s letter to Santa. Now Row has a speech delay so she can’t exactly tell me what she wants but she does have a slight Minnie Mouse obsession so we will go with that.

I gave her this adorable Santa kit complete with paper and envelopes from International Arrivals-now don’t be surprised you know I love their stuff.

She set to work! We have a possible lefty on our hands!

We used this time to talk about Santa and how he comes down the chimney and about being kind to others and having a serving heart like Jesus. We also talked about how Santa is Saint Nick and how he has many different names. I finished my writing she wanted everything Minnie Mouse and she happily pranced away.

International Arrivals has a variety of Santa Sets and there are more than one paper and envelope in each. You can also order matching pens! Oh and while you’re there get some of their amazing things for stocking stuffers. Puffy Pens!

What are you Christmas traditions? More of ours coming soon-it’s like a peek into our house. I love that!

International Arrivals sent us these kits to review but we totally love them so all these opinions are completely my own.

Making Holidays Fun with Package From Santa

November 28, 2018 By Callie Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Package From Santa. All opinions and sass are entirely my own.

 

I just love the holidays. I love the sparkle, the smells, the wrapping paper. I often feel like there are so many things to do but just not enough time to do them all. You feel me don’t you? I see those cute ideas on pinterest. I do not have time to wrap 25 Christmas books every single year and open them every day. I have the activities advent calendar where we can pick something new to do each day. I’m tired….I’m wrapping and ordering and baking and magic making. I’m always on the lookout for fun things to do that will allow me to bring fun and magic into the house without running myself ragged. In pops in Package From Santa!

 

 

I simply went online to Package From Santa.

Once on the site I followed step by step instructions, added in some personal information about my little and a picture and bam that was it!

A couple of days later we got this cute package in the mail all festive and ready to be opened. She ripped that bad boy open and said “oh yes, oh yes, oh yes!”

The package included:

* a personalized Santa Letter that arrives in the mail
* a personalized VIDEO starring your child via email
* a personalized PHONE CALL
* a personalized printable NICE LIST GUIDE
* and the option to upgrade with MORE goodies!

 

The package comes first and then the others come later. I like how the package is staggered which gives children an ongoing experience! The best part my job was done. She loved it! She got her official nice list certificate and is happily displaying it in our kitchen. I guess she just wants to remind us! She also received a picture of Santa and his Elf Buddy which is living on her desk-he’s a celebrity you know! I love how Package From Santa delivered personalized items for my little. I love how easy it is to order. I mostly love the magic.

I’m excited to share with my readers a special discount code so you can be awesome while taking it easy too! Get 25% off every package you order using code FAM2060
This uniquely personalized gift experience creates Christmas wonder and excitement that your child will never forget!
Have your camera ready to video every step of this special Santa experience! It all starts at the mail box when the Package From Santa arrives from the North Pole! Delight in the process of making Christmas magic come alive in a very personal way for your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, or any little one you know!

 

Merry Christmas!!!
