Thanks to Panasonic for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions are my own.
I know I have spoken about this in the past, but I suffer from anxiety. (I always have!) There are several things that I get anxious about, but the major one is keeping my home safe. For example, I typically check all of my doors 2-3 times before going to bed.
To relieve my anxiety about keeping my home as safe as possible, I received the Panasonic HomeHawk Monitoring System door so that I can keep watch over my home 24/7.
Bonus: I can check to make sure that my packages are safely delivered!

Loose waves are always in style! It’s a hairstyle that has been around for generations and they aren’t going anywhere soon! The problem is that many women don’t know how to create perfect loose waves. They are so easy to do! You just need the right tools to do it!

Christmas classroom parties and Christmas break are right around the corner! There is going to be a lot of time to keep your kids entertained, before they have their Christmas goodies. When I was little, my mom made a matching game out of Halloween monsters and I loved it! We played it in my classroom as a traditional memory game, but when I was home I would play it and mix and match the parts of the monsters to make silly characters. I really wanted to make a version of this game for Christmas! So I created this Christmas memory matching game that can also be used as a Christmas character mix and match activity too!
To make this Christmas matching game, you will need to print out these printable pieces on cardstock. You will also want printed holiday paper and a glue stick. To get the printable game, click on the link below. Download the pieces and print them off.

Christmas Memory Game Printable Game 3
Once you print out your game pieces, you want to glue them onto a printed holiday paper so that the backing of it is all the same.
After you have glued the backing off, cut the pieces apart.
Now you have your game pieces! This game is so fun to play as a memory matching game or to mix and match to create fun, new Christmas characters. You will get a good laugh!
These games will keep your kids entertained for a little while! For even more fun Christmas games, check out this fun Christmas Mad Libs printable, this Christmas charades game, and this Christmas candy dice game!
If you are a parent, you have probably had more moments than you can count where you have thought to yourself, “Nobody told me that this part was going to be so hard!” I find that thought sneaking into my mind more often than I care to admit! Parenting is hard. No matter what phase of life you are in, there are challenges that parents face with their children. My kids are both still young, so most of our trials include diapers, lack of sleep, homework, housework, and tantrums. Parenthood isn’t always that squeaky clean fantasy that you had when your first child was still in the womb! That is why I am excited to partner with Baby Dove. They understand that motherhood isn’t always squeaky clean and they encourage parents to embrace life’s real moments!
Trying to do laundry with a toddler is a lot like trying to wash dishes with ketchup, instead of dish soap. It is a little pointless! While I am folding, she is unfolding! It is a constant game of [Read more…]
I absolutely love modern Christmas decor. I love how unique modern Christmas decorations can be and how much they can add to a home, without being overdone. I searched high and low to find some of the very best DIY modern Christmas decorations that people would actually want to try to make. These are all so beautiful!
We have moved a lot, but only one of the houses we have lived in has had an actual mantel. Whenever Christmas season comes around, I miss the chance to decorate a mantel, with stockings hung. That is why when we moved into our new home, I knew I wanted to come up with some sort of faux mantel so that I can decorate it for the holidays. [Read more…]
Crafting during the holidays is one of my favorite things to do to celebrate the Christmas season. I have really grown to love crafting with my 6 year old daughter, but I really wanted to find some ways that my toddler could be involved in the Christmas creating! I decided to let her make her own sensory toddler Christmas ornaments.
Toddlers love feeling things that have different textures and that make different sounds. They love discovering things with their senses! These sensory Christmas ornaments are a fun way for toddlers to be able to discover their senses, while making a treasured keepsake to hang on the Christmas tree! [Read more…]
I love handprint art for Christmas! Having little Christmas kid crafts around the house makes me happy! We made this darling handprint angel Christmas kid craft a few years ago.

To make this handprint candle, you need… [Read more…]
