#scoutelfreturnweek

Image
Welcome to our little family, Fruitcake! This year is our first year with an elf on the shelf, I'm so excited! Probably more excited then Chloe is I'm sure. Our elf arrived on November 28th (because I just couldn't wait any longer haha). This is where we've found him so far- - on the right was the first day, bottom left was the second day and top left was the third day- I wasn't sure if our elf would arrive early or wait until like a couple weeks before Christmas, but I ended up deciding for early. I think from now on our scout elf will arrive on the last day of November every year. I have so many cute ideas for these few weeks before Christmas, it's hard to believe that there aren't too many more days before Christmas!  So far Chloe has been pretty excited to find fruitcake in the mornings but she doesn't remember when she wakes up, I remind her to find him. She is still a little too young to remember when she wakes up and I'm sure she doesn't g...

Chloe's Santa Letter

Baby, It's Cold Outside

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...Not! I'm so ready for it to feel like Christmas time and look like winter out. Where I live we have had snow twice so far, it wasn't much and it didn't last long. Even the weather has been pretty nice also it's only just starting to get cold out, usually it starts to get cold in October.  Now don't get me wrong, as soon as winter arrives I wish it never had, but it sure does look pretty outside when there is snow and lights and all that good stuff. My Christmas lights aren't up yet unfortunately, it's been super rainy and windy recently and that's definitely not fun weather to be outsidestapling up lights..not that it's fun any other time either, haha. I have gotten some decorating done inside the house but not much so far, I still need to dig it all out of our storage room.  The only thing I'm really on top of this year is getting gifts and wrapping them, for the most part I'm actually almost...

Sweater Weather Tag

Image
I got the idea to do this tag when I saw it on a YouTube channel that I like to watch, the channel is- barbiesbeauty  http://youtu.be/aIT8aCLwa6g 1. Favorite candle scent? I don't often burn candles but I have a fall one that I really like, it is Vanilla Pumpkin Marshmellow from Bath & Body Works. I was surprised that I like it because I'm usually not a huge fan of the pumpkin scent. 2. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? I don't drink coffee and I'm not usually a big tea drinker so I'll have to say hot chocolate. 3. Best fall memory? Chloe was born in the fall, so that is my best fall memory. 4. Which make-up trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eye liner? I don't do either, I don't wear much make up. I guess winged eye liner though if I had to pick one. 5. Best fragrance for fall? I'd probably have to say anything with Apple scent. 6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?  I probably have to say stuffing, I like all thanksgiving foods but stuffing is probably ...

Logan's First Food

Image
The other day I gave Logan his first food! As you can see from the picture at the bottom...he loved it! So far he has tried carrots, peas and oat cereal. The cereal stuff was his very first, he was sure what to think of it but I don't think I watered it down enough. Then he tried carrots, we had that for a few nights and then we tried peas two nights ago. So I guess he had his first food more like a week ago not the other day haha. In the picture he had just tried carrots for the first time. I didn't make these myself I just bought the organic baby food in bottles and the oats cereal. I bought Hienz brand for the organic baby food (peas and carrots) and Gerber was the brand of oat cereal. -who else uses this brand? I'm curious what's others there are, my store only has three different one. I can't imagine that's all they make for organic-  My grocery store where I live doesn't carry much organic baby food, just peas carrots and squash so I will be making mos...
