A Note from Your Publisher

Happy Holidays! This week's newsletter is packed with goodies for you. Recipes, practical advice, and the latest toys to hit your little one's, Wish List. Make sure you enter our giveaway for some of the hottest toys and products to hit the market this year! Who knows? 


You could be the one to...Win. It. All!


The calendar is packed with countless events that you could attend with your family, activities to try, and memories to make, but sometimes, just having that extra snuggle time or curling up in your pajamas to watch a movie while drinking hot cocoa and munching on popcorn is better. If you prefer a good book over watching movies, we've got that covered too.


Need a few smaller stocking stuffers? We've got a fabulous, low cost, gift idea in the form of everyone's favorite - playdough! The recipe is simple and can be adapted to your fav scent. I'm making it for the kids, but I'm also going to make a giant ball for me to play with too. Who knows? It might be part of our teacher gifts this year. 


And last but not least, when you just don't have time to cook, hop on over to IHOP and try their Elf on a Shelf Holiday menu, now available until 1/1/2020. Breakfast is a 24/7 kinda thing at our house and we can't wait to try this menu. (It also will be the closest my kids get to have an Elf on a Shelf but shhh...don't tell on me).


I promise I'm not a Bah Humbug! person. I'll leave that to Scrooge. Speaking of which, we shall be paying our friends at the Argenta Community Theatre a visit for Friday evening to see A Christmas Carol. The way to my heart is definitely through food and musicals. Our oldest girls live and breathe the performing arts. Get your tickets while you can because their shows often sell out in advance. 


Enjoy the season and be on the lookout for our next newsletter with things to keep kids learning and active over the holiday break. If you haven't subscribed yet, click here to do so right now before you forget. Gotta keep it real, right? 


Aloha,
