SLEDDING PARTY!

We're more than half way through winter and I couldn't be happier about that. But in the mean time, we have been trying to enjoy all the snow we have been getting! Like maybe a sledding party? I wrote up a few party planning tips to throw a killer sledding party over on The Neighborhood. Check it out, stay warm and have fun!

WE LOVE: MONSTER MAGNETS

While I was at Alt, I visited their amazing toy shop and found these adorable monster magnets. They come in sheets of body parts, smiles, and accessories for you to build your own monsters. Elliott has been glued to our fridge ever since! He's made some seriously crazy creatures. He even made one that looked like Hitler. Yep. Hitler. I love the colors and the creativity they spark in him. And I really love how they occupy him - mama needs a break!

Aren't they fun? We like them.

DIY YOU'RE MY FAVORITE WORK OF ART VALENTINES

Since Elliott loves to paint, we thought his valentines should be painting related. I found these super mini, adorable canvases at our local craft store. You can find similar ones here. I gave him my paints and let him go to town! He loved the process and is proud of his little pieces of art. (Confession: I helped a tiny bit)

 Hand the reigns over to your little one and sit back and watch the magic happen.

Write a little love note on the back, add a candy and you're done!

P.S. YOU are my favorite work of art.

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.
