It’s Elf Season!

Halloween is over. Thanksgiving is almost here so you know what that means! Soon it will be Elf on the Shelf season. If you are new to the Elf on the Shelf tradition it’s fairly to get started. First, you need your own Elf on the Shelf doll and book set. The story explains how your elf gets its magic and why your children are not allowed to touch their Elf while they visit.  In our home, our elves, Rigsby & Pixie, make their grand arrival on December 1st. If it’s on the weekend they come with a full breakfast full of sweets directly from the North Pole. If December 1st lands on a school day Rigsby and Pixie are waiting for my kiddos to get home from school with a table full of fun including gingerbread houses, cookies to decorate and a new Christmas game.

Each year I try to use new ideas to keep the magic alive with my family. We all know how quickly children grow so I make sure I keep the magic in Christmas for as long as possible. Incorporating the Elf on the Shelf into our Christmas traditions is a no-brainer for our family. Rigsby and Pixie bring the magic of the North Pole straight into our home. Amazon has a wonderful selection of Elf on the Shelf on accessories that will make your Elf planning that much easier. Here are a few of my favorite Elf on the Shelf items that can easily be found on Amazon.

Elf on the Shelf snow tube

 

Snow Day

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas? Well, now your Elf can be fully prepared. Maybe it doesn’t snow by you but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun snow day with your favorite little help – add a bit of flour and you’re set!


Elf on the Shelf Hoodie

 

Dance Party

Dance parties are huge in our home, especially at Christmastime. Wouldn’t it be fun if your Elf could join in on the fun? With this festive sweatshirt and earphone set they will be reading for a day full of dancing.


Elf on the Shelf Paper CraftsPaper Crafts for your Elves

Are you struggling with ideas? Not very crafty? This is the book for you. Let me be honest – I love Pinterest, consider myself a crafter but once December 1st hits I feel rushed. This book has been a lifesaver for my sanity – haha! We’ve all been there with our Elves I’m sure but this book helps in so many fun ways.

Elf Scarf

An adorable winter accessory for your Elf. In our house, it helps to act as a reminder to bundle up because it’s cold! I think I have more fun with our elves than my kids – whoops!

Sleep Sack

One of my kid’s favorite ways to find their Elf is sleeping in their room! I used to make something for the elf to sleep in but this is far cuter! My kids look forward to their Elf sleepover every year and this accessory helps add a touch more whimsy to the big event.

Sleeping Bag

Another fun sleeping bag option for your Elf. The kids will love having a sleepover with their favorite magical buddy!

Elf Pajamas

Elf pajamas make for a fun addition every year. They can be used during the Elf sleepover as I mentioned above or you can use them on a day you are giving your kids new Christmas jammies. No matter what you decide these PJs are an adorable accessory for your Elf.

Elf Party Pack

When our Elves come to town we always host an event of some kinda fun North Pole themed breakfast, a cookie decorating day or gingerbread making. This set adds more fun to the festivities. My kids love celebrating with their Elves!

Elf Tux

Dress up your Elf for a fun night at the house. You don’t even need to do anything special but seeing their Elf dressed up always makes my kids giggle. Maybe a family member is getting married near the holidays this would be a fun way to help celebrate the big day!

Elf Skirts

Can’t leave the ladies out when it comes to dressing up! My daughter loves seeing her Elf dressed up on the morning of her Christmas recital. That’s literally all I do that night. I add a skirt to her Elf and a scribble a note “Good luck” Easy Peasy. I love how much easier having accessories makes Elf planning – ha!

Toy Soldier

This is new for my family this year – a toy soldier outfit. The Nutcracker has become a new favorite around here so I knew I had to have this fun addition for our Elf.

Christmas Tree Costume

One of my favorites! Our Elves usually arrive with our Christmas tree but it’s bare when they get here. The next morning I leave them on top of our ornament bucket dressed in this costume with a note that reads “Let’s Decorate this Baby” My kids go crazy. They think its sooooo funny. Easily one of my favorite traditions!

Movie Night

Christmas movie nights are HUGE in my house. I love to incorporate the Elf into our yearly tradition and this set makes my life sooooo much easier {are you sensing a pattern?}. I mean look at those adorable popcorn buckets how could you not want to use this!

Elf Notes

Notes from the Elf are always a fun treat and this set makes everything so easy. Honestly, its a must-have for anyone that has an Elf. I say this strictly because of the ease of things. It’s the busiest time of the year for our family so anything that makes my life easier is a plus!

 

Letters to Santa

I saved the BEST for last. Letters to Santa is something I believe every child that believes in Santa and has an Elf should experience. You get a beautiful story to read with your child plus a writing set that’s magical! The paper provided is the regular size and your child can write on it easily but once you are done you bake your letter using the tools provided in the kit and VIOLA! Your child’s Christmas list becomes Elf size. Your Elf brings it to the North Pole for Santa to read and a few days letter returns it so you can keep your list as a Christmas ornament. I honestly cannot put into words how special this activity is.

Sharing is caring!

There is so much fabulous holiday content coming over the next few weeks. Gift guides are already starting to pop up on the blog for those that are early shoppers like me! 
How cute is my bride of  Frankenstein mug? Coffee always tastes better in a holiday mug. 
What are your plans on this beautiful Saturday?

Instagram post 17844774589693728 Another favorite of ours - Happy Halloween Stinkface. Poor little Stinkface worries about all the things that could go wrong on Halloween but all throughout the story Mom has a simple solution for every problem. My sweet Simone, as happy as she is, tends to worry about things out of her control. It’s up to me to think of solutions on the spot. Sometimes I succeed and other times I do not. Books like this are great for kids because they see themselves in the characters and realize they are not alone.

Instagram post 17859415036543968 Matching pajamas is one of my favorite holiday traditions! Thankfully my  8yr old still loves the novelty of holiday pajamas. Honestly, he would do anything to put a smile on his sisters face. He’s that guy which warms my heart. The Halloween pajamas we got this year are extra soft and vibrant. The kids love them! Simone already asked if the company has Christmas pajamas we can order. My girl always has Christmas on the brain. I wonder where she gets it from 🧐🤷🏻‍♀️🎃🥰👏🏻😅 Each night of October we read a Halloween story as a family. Tonight’s choice - How I Met My Monster became an instant favorite! It’s a sweet story both kids loved. There’s a link in my bio where you can find a list of the 31 books we are reading this year. Reading as a family is a wonderful way to build excitement leading to Halloween. It’s easily my favorite holiday tradition. Reading together is the best way to end the day!

Do you have any Halloween traditions you do each year? I’d love to hear about them. I’m always looking for something new to try.

Instagram post 18094986535075269 Any one that is a long time fan of mine, knows that my new business venture is all about celebrating life’s little every day moments.

Not every article is going to be holiday related, but instead will be centered around finding joy in the little things.

Yesterday we got to experience my son’s edible garden as part of his school’s Fall harvest unit. If you are a subscriber you know my husband and I decided to send my son to a new school this year. It was the most difficult decision we have made in his 8 wonderful years. He’s been in the same school since Pre- K with the same core group of friends. Thankfully we learned first hand that we made the right decision for him, and Tyler is thriving! 
We are so lucky that he gets to experience a full functioning garden in which he plays an important role and gets to learn how to harvest his own ingredients to make delicious garden to table meals. We had the honor of trying fresh spring rolls that were incredibly delicious and prepared by both the adults and children.

As I said, the main focus of this business is to help my audience find ways to celebrate every day life while making memories that will last forever. Yesterday is a day I will remember celebrating for years to come. The joy in my son’s eyes is something I’ll never forget. It was that look that made me realize he’s found his place. 
To cap off an incredible day we also learned that he is October’s Humanitarian of the Month for his class. Since school started he has continually shown kindness and caring towards others and will be honored for his work at the end of the month. Sometimes the hardest decisions in life turn out to be the best and most rewarding ones.

Bonus: My daughter also loves the school and all its amenities. We truly lucked out!
