<span style="font-size: large;">When I first purchased the <a href="https://thekindnesselves.com/?rfsn=379340.30020" target="_blank">grey kindness elves</a> it was to use them during the holiday season. The elves would leave cute notes of kind acts for my children to carry out. My kids loved playing with the kindness elves and so we have expanded our <a href="https://thekindnesselves.com/?rfsn=379340.30020" target="_blank">kindness elves family</a> and now my children enjoy bringing them into their play. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few years ago when for my daughters birthday I found an old solid wood doll house, cleaned it up and gave it a fresh coat of paint. Being the lover of all things vintage I found a lady selling a big lot of old wooden doll house furniture. Since it was in a 'lot' and I got the best deal on it I didn't mind letting my preschooler play with them. Some of the pieces as expected didn't hold up but we still have a good solid amount of furniture and the <a href="https://thekindnesselves.com/?rfsn=379340.30020" target="_blank">kindness elves</a> are the perfect fit. My daughter was so excited that her elves had some new friends to play with and set up a little 'house party' (her words) apparently we throw a mean house party...I mean when the piano comes out.....look out!! LOL </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This year we will be doing our advent calendar with one similar to the one below. I am going to fill each one with a little toy or goody for each of our kiddos. Below are a few ideas of what you could fill yours with.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We welcomed our third kiddo a few months ago and he is just the most perfect addition to our family. So when I say a few months ago I really mean he is 7 1/2 months but he's the baby and he's our last baby so really I want to pretend he is still a newborn....a big giant newborn LOL</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Anyways, when I say the best car seat ever I am not exaggerating! Before I go on let me tell you a bit about us. Then about about why the Doona car seat has been so perfect!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Our kiddos are 7, 4 and 30 weeks LOL okay, okay .... 7 1/2 months. I work as an assistant director for a preschool and my husband is the best stay at home Daddy! Our older kiddos are at the age where they are pretty independent. They no longer need a stroller for outings and they don't need 5 million things just to go to the park. Over the last few years my husband has had a few back surgeries and ultimately he had to have the lower part of his spine fused. As we were anticipating the arrival of the new baby, his back was always a concern because I knew he was the one that was going to be home with him. Due to that we were researching baby items that would be helpful to him and low impact for his back. (ie. light weight strollers/car seats, changing tables that were higher so he wouldn't have to bend down, baby carries with good support etc.) it's also good to note that at this time we also had one car...and it was a sedan and we needed to fit a high back booster, and kid booster and a infant car seat.....STRESSFUL!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Okay, now that you have a super quick snapshot of our glamorous life LOL I am excited to tell you why the Doona has been so AMAZING!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Doona is an infant car seat that goes into your car just like a click in car seat but.......drum roll please.......you take it out and pull a handle and out pops the wheels to become a STROLLER!!!!! Yep...your read that correctly a stroller, no extra parts, no getting the snap n go or the stroller out of the trunk, no carting around that heavy infant car seat awkwardly on one arm while your baby's head bobbles around. You literally take your car seat out of your car like any other one and you pull the handle and out come the wheels and you extend the handle and in 30 seconds you are on your way. Putting the baby back into the car is just as easy! You pull the handle while swooping the wheels in and just like that you are back to a car seat, snap it into the base and you are ready to go!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Here is why we love it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We have 3 kids, I can pull the car seat out and have it in the stroller mode before the other two are even out of the car. I'm not worrying about anyone running into the street or out into a parking lot while i'm getting the baby situated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When your in a hurry and you pull that car seat out and swing it onto your forearm and its heavy and hard to carry.....yep not with the Doona!!! (Note: This is why I mentioned my Husbands back earlier) Even walking from the car to the house you as a parent typically do this (carry the car seat), it is so taxing on your body to have that much weight on one side of your body and for someone who has back problems is it detrimental. My husband literally takes the car seat out and opens the wheels all in one motion, he does not ever have to carry the heavy car seat! It has been a huge benefit to us!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Doona is so small and compact. Essentially you have a stroller that is the size of an infant car seat. For those of you who travel, the Doona is one of the slimmest car seats on the market. It can fit down the aisle of an airplane. (Remember the car seat dilemma I talked about earlier)......yep the slimmest car seat so when I had to figure out a way to fit 3 seats across that was a huge selling point. (Ya know in case the magic built in stroller didn't sell ya lol)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For those of you wondering we ended up doing high back booster, the bubble-bum booster seat and the Doona infant carseat. (I literally researched 3 car seats across for months and read every article and blog post I could find.....the truth is it sucks, it's stressful and you need a bigger car when you decide to have 3 kids LOL but good luck to you! LOL)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The nurses were all in awe of our magic car seat stroller (That's what we refer to it as) our son is now 7 1/2 months and he is a BIG boy!!! He weighs 20lbs and he still fits perfect! My husband tells me that he gets stopped almost on a daily basis by Moms or Grandma's who ask him about the stroller and he proudly demonstrates it's magic for them!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A few things to note:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">COST: We are on our third kid.....it's hand-me-downs and re-gifted items around here. This was in fact gifted to us for our new addition and we are so thankful to our family for that but it is the only new thing we got and honestly if I had to do it over again I would buy this hands down!!! It is the one thing we have used EVERY SINGLE DAY since he was born!!! If you are buying a new car seat with a base and a new stroller it ends up being the same cost. In our opinion it is worth every penny!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">STORAGE: Remember how early I mentioned how our older kids don't need a ton of stuff, well that is the stage of life we are in so we don't need a huge basket to store everything in. I do have to admit. This car seat has zero storage, but again you get a magic stroller so we came up with a solution. We attached <u>this</u> to the handle we store a bottle, a formula container a burp cloth and a water bottle and we are good to go!!! If i'm with the kids I have 500 extras of everything in my car and my purse because, well because folks, I became my Mother but if the Apocalypse happens....I will be ready!!! My husband on the other hand......he's a guy soooooo....really that's all he needs LOL We also bought a <u>Mommy Hook</u> and this Portable <u>Diaper pad</u> it hangs on the side of the stoller and neither one needs to be removed in car seat mode or stroller mode so it makes it easy as pie!</span><br />

SHADE: This has not been an issue for us even though we live in California and it is always sunny and hot the shade on it does not seem to pull down far enough to always shade the baby. I personally bought a <u><a href="http://covered-goods.myshopify.com/?rfsn=390051.a9883" target="_blank">Covered Goods Cover</a> </u> it's an all in one cover, I used it for breastfeeding, covering the stroller, it goes on a highchair and on a cart.....another must have product in my opinion!!!! Anyways we have always used that to cover the baby from either the sun or just to have over him while he is sleeping or to get him so sleep when big brother and sister are in the car distracting him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">WEIGHT: The only time you are carrying or lifting this car seat is to get it in or out of the car so to me the weight is not a problem. I will say now that we have two cars, I have a higher SUV and my husband has a sedan. I must admit, it is harder to get the car seat in and out of my car because i'm 5'2' so getting it into a higher car is harder but still manageable. My husbands car doors open out really wide which also makes his car really easy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">OVERALL: Overall I can not express to you how happy we have been with this stroller. We are a busy family, him and Daddy are out during the day, on weekends we are at sisters soccer games and brothers baseball games, we go to museums, we go to amusement parks, we go to the zoo, we go to parks and on walks. This stroller has gone everywhere and with ease we have been able to transition into a family of 5 and I am so happy to share my best baby find with you guys!!! I only wish I had this stroller with my other two!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every year for the past... I'd say 5 years I have done a Christmas book countdown. Some years I've gotten really fancy and I've done a book and craft countdown (pretty easy to do when your a preschool teacher and have a billion templates already made) other years I have wrapped 24 books individually and made adorable handmade numbered tags... but this year....well this year is a little different. I am working full time, have 2 kids under the age of 6 and I'm 6 months pregnant...to be honest the simple thought of wrapping 1 book let alone 24 sounds just plain awful!! I do however want to keep the tradition going so I thought I'd share with you my easy but still cute Christmas book countdown. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I know very few things in life are free....but did you know that shipping supplies through USPS (the post office) are free, and you can order online and have the supplies delivered straight to your door for free. Now before you call the post office police on me, I am aware that this is a service to be used, to then ship with USPS. My husband and I both sell items online (more on that under hustling mama) and we ship out a lot of things weekly through USPS so I am fully supporting our local post office! Anywho, back to our countdown. I decided to use 24 of the priority mail envelopes to do our countdown this year. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I happen to be in the craft store and saw some adorable washi tape and found the perfect #number stickers because again....the easier the better this year! Let's be honest I could have numbered these envelopes with a sharpie but I think we can all agree that washi tape make everything 1000 times cuter!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once I finished making them cute and putting on the number stickers I filled each envelope with a Christmas book. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Again, having taught preschool for 10 years I have quite the collection of books but I still ordered a few new ones to change things up this year. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We start with book 1 being Elf on the Shelf because yes, we have bought into the tradition and we keep it cute and kind and not so crazy....our elf comes the first night of December because a few years ago he came the night after thanksgiving and then this mama was totally over the elf thing come mid December so now he come December 1st at night. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The 365 project is not new, I've been an avid scrapbooker for years and the idea of taking a picture a day and documenting your year through your scrapbook has been done for awhile now, but to be honest the idea of taking a photo everyday, printing those photos and then creating a scrapbook to hold 365 pictures sounds like a lot of work!!! Last year January 1st a friend of mine took a picture with Instagram of her daughter and #hashtagged it with her daughters name and 365. I loved the idea so I jumped on the bandwagon!! Thanks Allie!! Last year I took a photo a day with Instagram and dated each photo and put our own #hashtag. Now that 2013 is over I have 365 memories of our year, little moments in time. Some are snapshots in the moment others are cute and posed. What I love most is 2013 was a bumpy one for us, my hubby had 2 different back surgeries and I had gone back to working full time, its been stressful but at anytime I can click onto our #hashtag and scroll down the feed and remember all 365 moments that were good!! Weather it was a family shot of us snuggles in our bed all together or the picture of our kids running in the field at the park, or that amazing day we had at the beach or the one with peanut pouting ...I love them all. Now the part I'm excited for, I'm taking those 365 pictures and making a book through Shutterfly. I will update this post when I'm finished and have the book!!! Until then....it's January 3rd....,jump on the bandwagon with us and find a special moment in your day and freeze it!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here's what you do!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Join Instagram! It's a free app. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Take a picture, put on a cool filter (I like the one that makes my skin look flawless and I look skinny lol)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Date your photo. Some people do day 1, day 2, day 3 and so on I like to date them 1.1.14, 1.2.14 etc. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. Pick a creative #hashtag to keep all your photos under. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> *My Instagram is private so only friends I allow to follow can see my pictures but if I take a picture and hashtag #cutie if you click on #cutie you will see 4000 other "cuties" lol pick a #hashtag only you will post too for example our hashtag is #ourlastname365 (not really but you get the idea) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5. Don't get discouraged if you forget to post just go back or post 2 pics from the same day and date them different. The fact is in 365 days or 5 years your not going to say hey, we went to that park on the 7th not the 10th.......</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">6. Disclaimer........I figured something out....I would go to my husbands pics and #putourhashtag </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">yeah.....it doesn't work. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It will take you to the hashtag but not actually post your pic to it. So on December 31st 2013 I clicked on my hashtag to see I only had 345 pictures and not 365......ahhhhhh.....yep those 20 something pics....all ones I tried to snag from the hubs! So make sure you post the pic and you hashtag your pictures!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Side note: if your new to Instagram you can post 1 or 1000 pics a day on your account the purpose of using the same #365hashtag is so you can only see the pictures you designated for the project. It puts them in their own category. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If your confused ask someone you know who uses Instagram....they can explain lol </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The day the hubs sent me this picture from the aquarium while I was at work and I cried because I know just how lucky I am to not only have healthy happy children who love each other but a wonderful partner in life who values Fatherhood as much as I do Motherhood!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">These are the moments I would have forgotten about, not intentionally but they would be lost in the daily grind of life and work and grocery shopping and paying bills and well the stress of it all. I want my children to have wonderful memories and I want to preserve those memories for when I have teenagers running in and out of the house and I just want them to be little again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm an emotional, sentimental mess but looking at these moments makes my heart burst and allows me to realize just how good life really is when you really focus on family and love! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">So to be honest, I don't really even like Halloween...but I really like being crafty! So here are a few homemade costumes from the past few years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'm starting with this awesomeness because I just finished it and i'm oh so excited about it! We are going to a family party and we were asked to dress up. The kids are covered so the Hubs and I needed really inexpensive costumes stat! I was just going to be a 'nerd' and the Mr. Well we weren't sure. I turned to good old Pinterest and started searching and scrolling through tons of DIY costumes but again time and mula were short. I searched 'Pinterest costumes' and a few pins came up. One lady had a cork board around her neck with her 'pins' on it another had magazine pictures literally safety pinned to her. I have a 4 year old and 23 month old....no way am I able to wear a cork board around my neck or have pieces of paper hanging off me with safety pins!!! I loved the idea though so I started to brainstorm. First I though maybe I could take screenshot of each pin then have the pictures printed out....no, too big...maybe I could take a screenshot of my pin feed then print it out and cut out the pins....no, too small...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So I hopped onto Pinterest picked a board and hit print! The print box came up and I hit landscape mode then only selected a page or two to print (hint: in landscape mode they print bigger)......out of each page I only got about 2-3 complete prints so I selected a few boards, printed a few pages and then cut out the pins that printed fully on the page. Then I lined them up in rows and glued them onto the shirt. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here are a few of my other homemade costumes but I don't have tutorials for them...I will briefly explain how I made them but if you have any questions leave it in the comments and I will respond to you!!! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This year my super-hero crazed 4 year old boy said "Mommy, I want to be Stitch for Halloween!" I was in shock....no spider-man, iron-man, bat-man, thor-man!???!! lol What's even more perfect is our baby girl has long dark hair like Lilo!.....so I was determined to make her a little Lilo costume! She's only 23months and doesn't really care what she dresses up as. (yes I know I might as well say 2.....but I just can't yet!!! I still have 15 more days of having a one year old, I'm going to saver them!!) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here it is!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxVR0hV3nSahmD2pQrGAQEder2TJW7laYYYiUww0yjlmE9kwabWAlMUbrC04KNgSh9LIPR7E8y1Pfabrwp9LWpBHhzYmjOjvKUz2h-1dnoRrqL2HGiAF3S5jE49nuBi5DMerIQB7B4DOM/s640/blogger-image--274114084.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxVR0hV3nSahmD2pQrGAQEder2TJW7laYYYiUww0yjlmE9kwabWAlMUbrC04KNgSh9LIPR7E8y1Pfabrwp9LWpBHhzYmjOjvKUz2h-1dnoRrqL2HGiAF3S5jE49nuBi5DMerIQB7B4DOM/s320/blogger-image--274114084.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For her dress I drew out a leaf templet on paper...it took me a few tries, they are harder than they look! Then I cut them out of felt and glued them onto a little red dress she already had. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Scrump was a bit harder to figure out. I wanted to just buy a scrump doll but apparently unless your a Disney princess your murchandise gets discountined when your movie came out in 2002 & it's now 2013......huph!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Basically I took some soft green fabric I found in the discount bin and drew a big headed gingerbread man then I cut around it leaving about a half inch or so. As shown below. I cut the hair out of felt and made the bow with felt as well. After I had somewhat of my concept I glued all the edges except for the top of the head. Once dried I flipped it insideout so I could no longer see my 'drawing' and I had a nice sewn seam. From there I sewed on the eyes and belly then stuffed it. Once it was stuffed I was able to glue on the mouth and stitches and glue the head together. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So that's this years crafting...hear are a few from the past few years.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am a full-day preschool teacher and the curriculum we use this Owl "Ollie" is kind of like a mascot. So last year I made an Ollie costume to wear for our "Make Believe parade" (yep you guessed it, I work for a public school district so we have to be all P.C.about everything!!) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For this costume bought a few yards of felt.....can you tell I like felt! I like it because when you cut it, it doesn't fray!!!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyways I took maybe a half a yard??? I have no clue...folded in half on the folded side I cut a slit down the center. Now picture putting your head through the slit and have one flat panel on your font and back.....like a pancho!!! Is this making sense!!?! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then a cut tons of U shapes for the feathers and glued them down rows. For the head, I took my sweatshirt and laid the sweatshirt hood down folded and traced its shape, then I put it out and glued it together to make a seam, flipped it inside-out and glued on eyes and a beak also made with felt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The kids loved it!!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This awesomeness I made when I was preggo with our second. I really wanted a shirt like this but a screen printed one was going for $30+ for just the shirt. So I took a long sleeve black maternity shirt I had and found a pair of cheap black stretch pants....my whole costume cost me under $10. First I put on the constume, then I took chalk and marked lines where the 'front' would be to draw the bones. I drew lines for where the ribs would be and so on. I took it off and pulled a few references up on the computer of skeletons. Then I just free hand drew the bones with white chalk. Once I liked the placement I went over the chalk in white puffy paint and then when it dried I painted the inside with white paint. (NOTE to self....don't use washable paint.) </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I know there are a lot of different opinions about The Elf on the Shelf craze. Love it, hate it, don't get it...are usually the categories. I have recently had a change of opinion about Mr. Elf on the Shelf and it is because of reading an article about dinosaurs. <a href="https://medium.com/thoughts-on-creativity/6f4cb1886d41" target="_blank">Dinovember </a>to be exact. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Do yourself a favor and go read this article. It will only take you a few minutes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Essentially they take their kids dinosaurs and set them up in different mischievous ways each night for their children to find them the next morning. Now what I liked about this was at the end when the writer says </span><br />
<br />
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="56fd">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Why do we do this? Because
in the age of iPads and Netflix, we don’t want our kids to lose their
sense of wonder and imagination. In a time when the answers to all the
world’s questions are a web-search away, we want our kids to experience a
little mystery. All it takes is some time and energy, creativity, and a
few plastic dinosaurs.</i></span></div>
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="657d">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Childhood is fleeting, so let’s make sure it’s fun while it lasts."</i></span></div>
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="657d">
<br /></div>
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="657d">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That summed it up for me! I want my kids to believe in the wonder and magic of things. I want them to imagine and dream and ENJOY being kids!! </span></div>
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="657d">
<br /></div>
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="657d">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So with that here is our Elf on the Shelf story and a lot of other traditions we LOVE!! </span> </div>
<div class="notes-source-hasnotes" name="657d">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I bought our Elf in an after Christmas sale in 2010 with intentions to start the tradition the following year. At that time this little guy was hardly known I had to actually order it because several book stores didn't carry it. I attempted it that following year, our daughter Little S was just born literally weeks old and our son Mr. C was 2 years old, he could care less about the Elf. Moving the Elf only lasted a few days then 'the Elf' just sat around until Christmas. Mr. C didnt get it at all but I am all about creating traditions for our family so I tried it again last year but I wasn't too sure about making this little Elf a permanent 'tradition'. He's cute but kinda creepy too lol anyways I figured we would try it out to see how it went.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I think the movie is adorable!!! Defiantly buy it!!! </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=mothabsan12s-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=B005G3VCYY" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We watched the movie which Mr. C loved then I secretly wrapped up the elf on the shelf box in Christmas paper with a note: put it out front and rang the door bell. I had Mr. C open the door, found the package delivered from the North Pole he got to open the box and then together we read the story.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> He totally got it last year and loved it. I like how in the movie and book the Elf just 'moves' around but Pinterest has taken it to a whole new crazy level with these naughty antics lol to keep from going insane I did easy stuff most of the week (moved him around) then the more 'Pinterest crazy stuff' on the weekends. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The night before Christmas Eve we have another tradition my kids get to open one present we give them and its always "new Christmas Jammie's" to wear that night to wake up in on Christmas morning and cookie mix or cookie cutters to make cookies for Santa....So last Christmas I combined the two traditions and gave them the present and it was from "Julian the Elf" (Mr.C picked the name) saying good bye until next year etc etc. it had their new Jammie's and cookie mix and a new cookie cutter and Mr. C said goodbye to Julian until next year.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Now back to the top where I was trying out this Elf thing"before I commit it to a "tradition" welp just the other day out of no where Mr. C says..."Mommy remember Julian the Elf, he was so fun, I can't wait till he comes back".......so with that I give you our new tradition LOL weather I wanted it or not and honestly after reading the article above....i'm quite excited to bring Julian the Elf back each year!!! </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This is the box I wrote about above it's one of my favorite traditions. The Christmas Eve box! It first started out because in my family we got to open one gift on Christmas Eve, so I started that with our kids but the gift was always new Christmas Jammies to wear to bed. Last year this little tradition expanded and I made the Christmas Eve box as a good bye gift from Julian the Elf from Elf on the Shelf. (More on him further in this post) So in the box is new jammies to wear to bed and wake up in on Christmas morning. Cookie cutters and cookie mix. We always spend Christmas Eve with my Dad and his side of the family so we get home late. Hence the easy quick cookies.</span></td></tr>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Over the years I have had parents of my preschool students ask for gift ideas for their kiddos. So I thought I would put together a list of my favorite toys for preschool age kids!!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">In no particular order here are some of my favorites. These are toys that day in and day out have held my preschool kids interest throughout the whole year. Most of these are great for open ended play and great for strengthening those fine motor muscles!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">If I had to pick my absolute must have toy it would be the magna-tiles!! It doesn't matter if you have a girl or a boy, kids LOVE these!! They are awesome on a table, the carpet and even cooler on a light table!! My preschoolers get so creative with these!! They love making cubes and putting other small objects in them. They make house, castles, robots, rocket ships. These are taken out by choice in my classroom EVERYDAY!! The magna-tiles are what I have been saving for to get our son this year for Christmas!</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope some of these inspired you to think outside of the basic toy isle. Every child has certain characters that they like but you can only have so many of one type of toy! I wish more children had more basic open ended toys to allow them to learn and grow and create while having fun!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Our up coming unit in our curriculum is about 'Our Community' and the dramatic play area calls for a grocery store. I promised myself I would NOT spend any money to transform our dramatic play area into a grocery store...NOT even at the 35dollar store.....I mean the dollar store ;) We asked our families to bring in/donate their empty boxes, containers, old receipts, coupons, old wallets or purses to help create our store. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">They quickly got a routine down: the customer put their groceries on the conveyer belt and the checker would scan the item "beep" and put it in the bag next to the table. It was fun to watch and guide them through play. Our amazing Speech Pathologist happened to be in our room and she was talking to them and asking great questions like "How do we behave in grocery stores? Do we leave boxes of food on the ground? How should we put the eggs in our bags? Gently or throw them in? What would happen if we throw the egg carton in the bag? It brought up some great discussion throughout the remainder of their play. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love activities that filter into the next day. The next afternoon a few kids asked to make more leaves, this time they did it independently, they got out the supplies needed, went through all the steps and even set up a spraying station and a drying station for their leaves!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">One of my favorite things about being a preschool teacher is introducing something new, teaching them how to do it by modeling and then watching them do it independently and in their own way!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanted to get an idea of where the kiddos in my class were with their letter recognition. I put out some letter cards and told the kids that we were going to go on a letter hunt. They were to look around the room and find letter and match them to the card. I was able to see which children may need more support and practice with letter recognition without having to test them with flashcards!!! </span></div>

child advances forward to new stages of mastery.” – Erik H. Erikson</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What is playmobil? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br>
<div class="dist20">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Playmobil brings out imagination and creativity and promotes open ended play. With playmobil, children can not only slip into many different roles, but
also recreate and experience the world in miniature. </span></div>
<div class="dist20">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Playmobil is more common in stores now then the past few years but they can still be hard to find so I have linked a lot sets for you, some we own, some I wish we owned lol but hopefully it will make your search a bit easier :D</span><br>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My son loves to role play with his playmobil. It allows his to create a world and act out characters. He doesn't seem to do this with any of his other toys, even his action figures only hold his attention span for a short time.</span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This school set I bought for my son when he first started preschool. It was so adorable to see him act out his experiences at school. He would sit all the kids in a circle and have the teacher sing the good morning song. He assigned each playmobil child to a classmates name and would say things like "John, do you want to play with me?" As a preschool teacher my self I was in awe of his perception of school and the interactions he would act out with his playmobil figures. Developmentally, it showed me where he was at in his development of play. As a mommy I just loved watching him play!!! </span><br>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My daughter is 2 and although they make a younger version of playmobil for toddles she loves playing with her brothers, (however she is supervised and we take away all the small pieces!) I thought it was time I bought her a 'girly' set. Like I stated above, sometimes hard to find in stores and when I went they had such a limited selection so I bought 2 mystery girl packs and to my excitement....yes I say my lol we got a fairy in each one!!!! I mean I did try my hardest to use my x-ray vision and my spidey-sense to feel for 'wings' lol because honestly I didn't really want a Dracula queen or some of the other 'interesting ones' lol anyways super excited for the fairies!</span><br>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Okay....get excited!!!! Playmobil has Advent Calenders!!!! Growing up my mom always got us the box chocolate advent calendars which were tasty but over the last few years I've been trying to create our own family traditions and this one is a keeper!!! My son was 3 last Christmas and he loved it! The Advent Calenders come with a scene/backdrop and a box with 24 doors, behind each door is a playmobil piece to add to your play!!! It was so fun each night to see what was next. One day you might get a tree the next day woodland creatures or Santa!! They have many choices so you don't repeat the same each year. The best part about this set last year is that I packed it up with the Christmas decor and it will come out this Christmas to be played with throughout the holiday!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">So what do you think!? Do you love them as much as I do? Have you ever heard of playmobil?? Do your children enjoy open-ended play with them?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The first set we got was the first picture in this post the fire and police ones. I happen to get lucky and get a huge discount due to a damaged box. I have found good deals on amazon and purchased them and others have been gifts!! We are enjoying our little collection and play with them often! The thing I like the most is how durable playmobil is I feel like these will be one of the few things I save or (hoard lol...as my hubby would say) for the grand kids!!! Lol that's a looooonnnggg way away but how fun would that be!! </span><br>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">last year-----------</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> You can see last years set up and all the details click <a href="http://morethanabcand123.blogspot.com/2012/08/preschool-classroom-set-up.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am a firm believer that if something isn't working....change it!!! Your classroom is no exception! I liked my classroom last year but I had a few things that just didn't work with the space, the kids and the overall feel I wanted in our classroom. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> One of the biggest problems I had last year was the group time rug. It was in the middle of the classroom and I felt the children had a hard time focusing due to the wide open space around the rug. So this year I put the rug in the corner and boxed it in with some furniture, I can already feel a difference!! By moving the carpet I lost the white board...still on the fence about that but at the end of the day I felt last year the little kiddos had to look up much to high to see the white board anyways and I have a fun project for the white board this year! More on that later in this post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So just as the last set up post it will be mainly pictures but hopefully you will get some new fun ideas! My goal for this year was to keep things minimal and blue...because after all, we are the blue room!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Easiest way to add some reality to your home center is to save your empty boxes from home, tape them shut and put them into your kitchen/home center. I took our blueberry container and added blue pom pom balls and the kids have loved it!!! For a cultural approach ask the families in your class to bring in empty food boxes and containers from home! The kids love using items like these in their play!!! </span> <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Also, I used overhead projector wipe off sheets and wrote the black in permanent pen but the blue is dry erase. It allows me to change it with the theme or the material we have in the sensory table that week! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I took washi tape and simply put it on top of the clothes pins...remember those from last year...the ones I glued tacks and attached to the walls. So easy to change art work out! Last year I printed wallet size pictures of each kid and taped them to the clothes pins so the kids always knew where their art was displayed! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Another way I used our cute Washi Tape...I bought these tags and just stuck a strip of washi tape on the bottom and then wrote the kids names on them! These are our cubbie tags this year. </span><br />

August it will be their first day of school picture, come October it will be some snapshots of the field trip we will take to the pumpkin patch, December pictures of the Winter Performance they will do and so on...I am so excited to see our evolution throughout the year and I think the kiddos will enjoy it too!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">So in last years post I talked a lot about labeling your classroom. We do it for ECERS but at the end of the day it is the best way to teach children how to clean up. These labels have lasted ALL YEAR I only had to replace a few, that is pretty amazing considering we are a full day 5 day a week program! There is a lot of ware and tear and they have held up! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Best part is my kids ALL know that every toy has "A HOME" and we like to say "PUT IT AWAY, BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY" that means if you are finished you clean it up and put it back in it's home. NOW for you skeptics out there.....it's okay, I know someone is questioning the fact that a class of 18 three and four year olds clean up amazingly well.....this is my proof....</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The original recipe came from <a href="http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Other/Cinnamon-Ornaments.aspx" target="_blank">here </a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">3/4 cup applesauce</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1 bottle (4.12 ounces)<span style="color: black;"> <a href="http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Herbs-and-Spices/Spices-A-to-Z/Cinnamon-Ground.aspx">McCormick® Cinnamon, Ground </a></span><a href="http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Herbs-and-Spices/Spices-A-to-Z/Cinnamon-Ground.aspx" style="color: black;"><b>Tip: </b>If a different size bottle of cinnamon is used, measure 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="directions" src="http://www.mccormick.com/MCC/images/recipes/ttl_directions.gif" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1.
Mix applesauce and cinnamon in small bowl until a smooth ball of dough
is formed. (You may need use your hands to incorporate all of the
cinnamon.) roll dough to 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness between two
sheets of plastic wrap. (I used wax paper) Peel off top sheet of wax
paper. Cut dough into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Make a hole
at top of ornament with drinking straw or skewer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2.
to dry ornaments at room temperature, allow them to sit on the wax paper
for a few hours and turn. after a few more hours carefully place them
on wire rack. Let stand 1 to 2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning
occasionally.</span><br />
