Our Christmas Traditions

Our Christmas Traditions

Back in 2016 I first wrote about our holiday traditions, and we have since updated some. In 2016 we were newlyweds (well, 2 years married if that still counts as newlyweds!), living in our current home (minus the massive renovation we did last year), both working corporate jobs, and Sprout was our only baby. My oh my how things have changed! Our family Christmas traditions Some of our holiday traditions are the same... Christmas ornaments Every time we travel, we add a location-themed …

Stocking Stuffers for 3-4 Year Olds

Stocking Stuffers for 3-4 Year Olds

Last year I thought my 2 year old "got it" about Christmas, but this year I really think my 3 year old understands what's going on. She is able to help me wrap presents, put ornaments on the tree, and bake Christmas cookies! She even helped me hang up our stockings on the mantel. Unfortunately we're not yet past the "but I want that" stage when we're picking out gifts for others, but we'll get there ;) I get really excited about putting out Santa gifts, but I get equally as excited about …

Advent Calendars for Everyone

Advent Calendars for Everyone

When I was a little girl, moving the mouse in our advent calendar was an important job. I was so excited when I found an identical advent calendar to the one we had when I was younger and can't wait to drag out all of my decorations. I had originally said November 1 but decided to wait a few more days! There's something about the lead up to Christmas that is just so wonderful. The snow, the Christmas lights on everyone's porch, and the festive decor in every room... and it's even better seeing …

Best Stocking Stuffers + Gifts You Can Still Get for Christmas

Best Stocking Stuffers + Gifts You Can Still Get for Christmas

If you're anything like me, you leave the stocking stuffers to the end of your shopping. (To be honest, I'm shopping for much more than just stocking stuffers today! I thought I was on top of everything but clearly was not. Whoops!) I scoured Amazon for the best stocking stuffers that you can buy with Prime and still get before Christmas. (And if you don't already have Amazon Prime, you can get that here for a free 30-day trial.) I also hunted down which stores have in-store pickup (so you …

Our Christmas Cards

Our Christmas Cards

Now that the last of the Christmas cards are in the mail, I can share both sides of our Christmas card this year! I posted a sneak peek on Instagram a few weeks ago. We took these photos when we went to Nantucket this fall. I just LOVE them. Over the summer we tried to get a family photo when we went to Cape Cod one of the weeks, but Sprout just would not cooperate. (To be fair, we were on a beach and he was LOVING running in and out of the ocean. He had zero plans to sit still for a …
