Elf on the Shelf Ideas!



With only less then 2 weeks to go before Christmas, your scout elf may be just arriving or running out of new places to be and things to do. My scout elf arrived the beginning of December, above is a few pictures of where my family's scout elf; fruitcake has been so far. My personal favorites were fruit pcske fishing in the sink, hanging on the advent calendar and coloring on his little color pages. I hope that some of my ideas are able to help you out in this last week and a bit days before Christmas. I know my elf is slacking on placement every morning now that everything is starting to get busier at my house! Hopefully he can keep it up until Christmas Eve!

With not much time left before Christmas I still have so much left to do, I thought I was doing good stay on track but apparently not. Yesterday I was making a list of all the things I have left to do and there's a lot! I only have a couple gifts left to pick up, and everything that I have already is wrapped. I have all the kids things done, including their Eve box (I'm going to do a post on that next week). The two biggest things things I have left to do is put up our real tree and decorate it. Plus before I do that everything needs to be tidied up first. And the second thing I have to do is Christmas baking and decide what I'm making Christmas Eve when we have people over.

Christmas Eve is always my favorite, we always have family over Christmas Eve and everything is so pretty and decorated and clean. Everyone is excited to see how others like their gift and also to see what they get themselves. Once it's Christmas Day it seems to go so quick and then it's all over, that's why Christmas Eve is my favorite! 

How ready for Christmas are you? What do you still have to do to get ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day? Which day do you like best? :)

Spring Time Tag

I haven't done a tag lately, really I haven't done much posting at all. With the end of the school year nearing the end I have been pretty busy. Between that and work I haven't had too much time to sit down and write. I have going to really try and make an effort to get posts out more regularly again though. So stay tuned! 1. Spring means glowing skin, what do you do for healthy glowing skin? Sunscreen? Haha, I don't really use anything else, usually just a tinted face cream with SPF 30 in it. 2. What is the first beauty thing you think of when the weather warms up? Letting my hair dry out in the breeze, it is always so soft and wavy when I do that.  3. What is your favorite part of spring?
