Eve Box

This is a tradition that I started Chloe's first Christmas, so two Christmases ago. I thought it was a cute idea, growing up I always got pyjamas Christmas Eve so I thought I would add to it and start the Eve box. I was pretty excited about it, this is the first tradition I started with my own little family. Chloe really liked opening it up last year on Christmas Eve before getting ready for bed, her first Christmas she was too young to know the difference. This year being Logan's first Christmas he too will be too young to care but he will like his Jammie's and stuffed reindeer I'm sure! Chloe may not be too thrilled about the whole Santa key idea, she is saying she doesn't like Santa and that she doesn't want him to come.. I imagine in the morning she will be glad to see that he will be stopping at out house Christmas Eve night. 


The past two Christmases I have had fairly similar items included in my Eve box but there what I decided on for this year: 

1. Jammies for the kiddos (from carters)--http://www.cartersoshkosh.ca/on/demandware.store/Sites-CartersCA-Site/en_CA/Search-Show?q=pyjamas&prefn1=brand
2. Christmas mug
3. Reindeer food (oats, cereal, glitter and chips I think)
4. Santa's magic key --http://www.hookedonhallmark.com/2013-Santas-Magic-Key_p_35465.html
5. Popcorn
6. Itty bitty Rudolph and clairece (from hallmark)--http://shop.hallmark.com/gifts/stuffed-animals/itty-bittys/
7. Candy canes (not in picture)
8. Hot chocolate (not in picture)


9. Book- A Porcupine in a Pine Tree by Helaine Becker (from chapters)--https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/a-porcupine-in-a-pine/9780545986632-item.html

I considered putting in a Christmas DVD but honestly, I'm probably not going to use it. I do have a DVD player but all I ever watch most of the time is Netflix, and there are plenty of Christmas movies on there to watch. If your looking for some different ideas to add you might like-
-slippers
-movie
-note from Santa
-an ornament
-stocking
-cup and plate for Santa

Is the Christmas Eve box a tradition that you do in your house? Are there any ideas you have that I haven't listen above, if so I'd love to hear them! I hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays! :)

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? The start of the new fishing season would be my favorite, then just the weather starting to warm up in general. 4. Do you wear your hair differently in the spring?
