Iceland is on my (and lots of people's!) bucket list, not only to visit during the fall/winter/spring to view the magnificent Northern Lights, but to hike/trek the beautiful landscapes of the ‘land of fire and ice’.

Outdoor Christmas lights are the one holiday project that punishes you for waiting. You order in December, it is thirty-eight degrees out, the good kits are gone, and you are on a ladder in the dark with a strand that does not reach the corner. So I built this in August, organized the way you actually light a house, from the roof down. Permanent and Smart Lights You Install Once comes first because it is the biggest single change you can make: RGBIC eave lights that get mounted under the roofline one time and then run red and green in December, orange in October, and plain warm white the rest of the year, all from your phone. There is a Govee kit at the top end and a couple of comparable systems at roughly half the price, so you can see the real spread before you commit. Roofline, Eaves and Tree Wrapping Lights is the long connectable strands that do the boring, load-bearing work, one 168-foot or 328-foot run instead of six short strands and five extension cords. Snowfall, Icicle and Curtain Effects is the section people screenshot: the cascading meteor tubes that read as falling snow off a gutter line, and a 20-by-10-foot curtain panel for a porch or a big front window. Laser Projectors and Light Shows is for anyone who is done with ladders entirely, since one stake in the lawn covers a whole house front, and the picks run from an under-$20 red-and-green star projector up to a metal-body unit with a security lock, which matters more than you would think because these do get walked off lawns. Yard Inflatables and Statement Pieces is the section kids make you slow the car down for, including a six-foot Buddy the Elf, a gingerbread man in a hot cocoa mug, a snowman with penguins, and a twelve-foot Bumble if you want to be the house people drive past on purpose. And the last section is the unglamorous gear that decides whether any of it works: shingle and gutter clips so you are not stapling into your roof, adhesive clips for the brick and stucco where clips will not grab, and a 25-foot outdoor extension cord with multiple outlets, because every inflatable needs its own plug and that is the thing everyone forgets until the box is open. Prices run from about $7 for a pack of adhesive clips up to $279.99 for the Govee permanent system, so you can close one gap this month or light the entire house. Every price and star rating here was checked this session. Order earlier than feels necessary, because the permanent light kits and the popular inflatables sell through first, and the install goes a lot better in September weather than in December. Made for anyone hanging outdoor lights on a house for the first time, upgrading from a tangle of strands to something you install once, decorating for kids who care about the yard more than the tree, or quietly trying to win the block. If you are searching for outdoor Christmas lights, permanent eave lights for a house, a Christmas laser projector, snowfall icicle lights, Christmas inflatables, or Christmas light clips for a roof on Amazon, start here.

After spending a couple days in the city, check out the Brisbane beaches with a day trip to the bay islands Moreton, Bribie, or North Stradbroke. This will be a full day but you can extend your stay with camping or accommodation on the islands if you want to relax more. If you rather head north or south to some other locations within driving distance we have some other great recommendations.This page contains affiliate links and is a member of the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

As a parent who spent five years living in the beautiful Colorado springs, I know first hand what it takes to find activities that are not only fun but are also engaging, safe and age appropriate for children.

I'm not going to lie. I would rather stay home and play games. Daytime is for going out and night time is for being cozy, wrapped up in blankets with the dogs, eating good food and playing games.
