DIY JINGLE BELL NECKLACE

My friend Liz from Say Yes to Hoboken asked me to make a kiddo Christmas craft and you know I had to oblige! I decided on these jingle bell necklaces. I made them for Elliott to give to his little friends for Christmas. He loves them and I hope you do to! Check out all the details here.

GIFT GUIDE: LITTLE MAN

Of course there has to be one for Elliott! Most of these are needs (i.e. jeans, hoodie and socks). The horse toy is beautiful! I wish I had seen it sooner. Maybe for his birthday. And the shoes, well, they're super stylin' and his favorite color. Can't go wrong there! The tree tops are gorgeous and would make a great stocking stuffer. I actually got a few of these for Elliott and his cousins (and me) to play with.

WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS

Elliott is so excited for Christmas. You can't tell from these pictures, but he is. Every day he looks out the window and asks "is it Christmas morning yet?" I can't wait to tell him "yes, yes it is!" The other day, he was sitting in "daddy's chair" and stated that he was going to sit there until Christmas came. My heart melted. Of course, he got impatient and squirmy and eventually forgot about his protest and went about his day. But I thought it was worth documenting. 

DIY ADVENT GARLAND

We've been having some problems keeping Elliott out of our advent calendar. Even though it's hung up kinda high, he still manages to get up there. Here is the perfect solution if you are in my situation! An advent garland! No temptation of small toys poking out and hung high on the wall. See how to make your own here on Momtastic. 

HAPPY (BIRTHDAY) WEEKEND!

Today is Preston's birthday, so we will be doing anything and everything his heart desires. Happy birthday, my love! I'm excited to spoil him this weekend. I hope you all have a great weekend. Until Monday, my friends!
