We went all out this year to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Maxi wore a Papa’s Lucky Charm dress.
We made cute goodie bags for family members and for her classmates.

Maxi had some sticker fun.

We read some fun books.
We also made some Irish soda bread.
Looks pretty good for our first try!

May the luck of the Irish be with you today and every day!

Christmas Activities with Grandma

I’m constantly looking for activities that I can do with both my three-year-old and my elderly parents.

I bought a felt tree with stick-on ornaments. It was straightforward to use and still gave a level of creative freedom to both my daughter and mom.

Here is the final product 🥰

We also made ornaments for our Christmas tree. The string was a bit tricky to tie but the oraments came with stickers and were also easy to use. Everything came out really cute.

Christmas Traditions – Advent Calendars

I got into advent calendars the year of COVID-19. I wanted to do something special with my Mom, and since then, it has grown into a family tradition.

This year, for Maxine’s calendar, I wanted something to keep her active. The Play-Doh calendar is pretty cool. It included Play-Doh, a surface to work off, and fun tools. Her first item was a tree cutter. They came out pretty cute on her first try.

I decided to get the Wall Street Journal wine advent calendar for my husband and me. The bottle is a pretty decent size, and the wine is pretty good so far.

For the third year, the cats are sharing a Fancy Feast calendar. It’s so cute and well-designed, and my cats love it.

My parents didn’t want calendars this year, but I wanted my mom to do something with Maxine, so they are sharing a Nativity calendar.

Are you into advent calendars? Which one are you doing this year?
