Here is some adorable Christmas decor that I either have or want a most of it is pretty affordable. I want to get more items that the kids can touch so they can enjoy Christmas so not trying to get any glass or delicate decorations this year.

Christmas is a very special time of the year for our family and so we try to make the whole month be fun, with small activities to be able to make the weekends and all the days of school a great time for the family. So here is some things we do to keep the kids busy.

Here are items I have been collecting for Christmas for my two boys. Some they already got for their birthday this year and the rest is what we will give them.

This list will be items that either I have had or else a friend or family member has and loves. Totally either ideas for you women to show your man or else ideas for you to buy for yourself.

Here are most of the things we use when wrapping our presents for Christmas. We try to buy the shirts boxes at Ross when they have them or Walmart. And then rest we usually get at Walmart. Christmas time is our favorite so we try to make everything extra special.

My son is not allergic to dairy he just gets heavily constipated with it so we keep him off all dairy for that reason. Here is his snacks we use on a regular basis for him, at home and when he goes to school. We add a bit of fruit in Al his meals to help him go regular.

When I am cleaning peoples houses, I listen to podcasts if they are not home or around to be talking to. And these are the ones that I listened to on the regular each one is different. I like to listen to content helpers, but then I also like to listen to social media influencers that I have been following for years and then also I listened to some pop culture just for a variety.

I have been making content for over a year now I started in August 2024 and these are the items that I use on the regular. I used to use a mic on my old phone with had a bad speaker but now I don’t use that anymore because my new phone is no problems. So this is what I use from my experience of doing content creation.

I have always been that girl with all the car accessories! Here is the list of items I use or have used and love. Now that I have kids I probably use more that I used as I want to find better ways to keep my car clean.

We love a family day out, and here are our favorite places to take the kids when we go to Murfessboro, I have young boys under 10 years old, so they have had a great time at all these places. I added a recommendation for an eye doctor which is all over the US that the exam insurance lasts, I just partially loved the doctors at this spot.

On our Fall Break this year we took a 3 day Vacation to Huntsville to have a little get away and do some fun things with the boys. Here is all the places we went while we were here.

I feel the best way kids learn is when they can incorporate learning into their play, that is why I have been on the search for toys that will help my kids learn, and grow in the skills they need to use later on in life.

Wanting to Read books to my boys that actually teach them lessons over just a goofy read that they don’t learn anything from. So here is a list that we have or had a few of the series and know they are good and educational.

These items are what we use daily for my boys, what they use to get ready for School and what we use for Baths.

I work part time cleaning houses for friends, and these are the items I use or recommend to all my clients. Some items I have added a few options like the vacuums for instance as everyone’s house is different. Or the mops, every house is different so I added a few of my favorite options.

Finding good books for your kids can be soo hard. My oldest is an excellent reader so I have been buying series for him to keep his reading up. He seems to get hooked better that way. His top favorite being the Owl Diaries, he’s been reading them for over 2 years now and still isn’t tired of them. I am now trying to get him the next level of books as he’s been on these for so long. He now is LOVING the Boxcar Children. Which I love as I read that series when I was a kid.

I am browsing through furniture that I would love to have for my bedroom if I get the money at some point. As right now I am using all my in laws pieces and they don’t match or work well as the drawers are shallow or broken. Some of the items I added here I do personally have like the mirror and heart shaped picture frames.

Here are my go to makeup items that I use when I put on makeup. I started the NYX items this Spring and really love how they work. They make my makeup look amazing all day.

Here is most of the different organizational Containers or Storage that I use around the house. For toys, food, shower, paperwork, in the Bathroom, Pantry and Bedrooms. I love when I have an orderly way to everything in one place.

My current Fall tops that I am loving from Amazon. Prepping for all the holidays coming up and trying to find some really cute outfits to have for the kids school activities. I need to go to and for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My boys have loved Mario from the beginning and so we have stuck with that theme for years now. One Tip for Mario lovers, shop at Ross you will find a lot of cool wall art, clocks and shirts for a really affordable price. The rest we get from Amazon, Target and Hobby Lobby.

This is our Favorite Spots to go to close to where we live, lots of places for the kids and a couple of our favorite restaurants as well!!

I have been wishing for a makeup Nook for a LONG time!! I think I may get it for my birthday this year, but we will see. So here are all my favorites.

The last two years we have been doing Advents as a family for the Month of December. The kids have had two toy ones and then a Chocolate one. Then I did the book a day, we have all really enjoyed it. And do this day they still play with some of the advent gifts.
