Making the holidays magical for my kiddos and sharing last minute purchases! #HappyHolidays #Christmasmagic #Holidaytraditions #December
I'm SO happy to be back to our normal routine and life after being sick for what felt like an eternity. It was devastating seeing Norah, my 5 month old baby girl, so sick and miserable. We are all finally on the mend and ready to embrace every last bit of December and the holiday magic!
I wanted to share with you guys a few fun and last minute things I grabbed for Christmas in case you're anything like me and on a mad scramble now to get all of my to-do lists and needs wrapped up (literally!). I make myself laugh because I'm such a planner but for whatever reason in years past with Christmas I procrastinate like crazy. Me and my husband have been the ones in Target on Christmas Eve panic buying last minute Christmas gifts. Yikes! With little kids that is just simply not an option anymore. So, here's to being more prepared so that as it gets closer Christmas can feel more restful, relaxing and slow moving!
First, I wanted to share this AMAZING Target find for literally $20! I know this is going to complete Christmas morning for River. It's a cardboard "Santa Workshop" that you put together and color. This will be SO fun for Christmas to keep him entertained and I can totally see everyone that comes over on Christmas morning to join in on the coloring fun too! Target pick up and twenty bucks- can't beat it!

Here's some cute, simple gift wrapping supplies that I just ordered on Amazon! I'm keeping it super neutral and simple this year.
I did purchase some cute Grinch & Mickey Mouse wrapping paper from the dollar store to wrap River's presents so he has his own special paper. I thought it would be fun to put his gifts in the cardboard house for him to find in there. Also, this genius wrapping paper cutter! HELLO!?!

Last but not least, a few stocking stuffer ideas to share.
-For River, I'm doing a mini dinosaur lego set, wool socks (he's obsessed with socks like his Daddy), an erasable drawing tablet, markers, Christmas candy, gloves & beanie for playing in the snow and that's about it for his.
-Aaron's stocking I haven't started on but it years past I've done cologne, phone case, apple watch band, socks, favorite candy (of course), wallet, pens. I'm a little stumped this year but I'm going to think on it and try and get creative!
Comment below if you have any other fun stocking stuffer ideas! Next week, I hope to share some fun Holiday traditions and Christmas plans. Thanks for reading & looking forward to catching up again next week!
