Our Favorite Gifts for Mom

So there totally seems to be a pattern here of procrastinating when it comes to buying gifts, but better late than never, I guess?! We've put together a list of our top gift picks for this Mother's Day to help your loved ones out. You can also check out our holiday gift ideas post for more ideas!

• Mighty Clutch - a purse that keeps your phone charged?  My iphone just died and went to wristlet heaven
• Dinner cooked in your home by a personal chef - give mom a break and hire a chef to cook a gourmet meal for you!  There are so many personal chefs out there, but we enjoyed hearing stories about Gordon Ramsay from Chef Chadd McArthur!
• Clarisonic Mia - this gift set comes with Ole Henriksen skincare, too (the Truth Serum is my fave)!
• On-trend but practical skirt - You can still get down and dirty with the kids while jumping on the button-front skirt bandwagon
• Tieks - if you're looking for compact but super-comfortable flats, Tieks are the way to go!

• Yonanas - so mom can whip up a healthy dessert when she's in need of a guilty pleasure (check out our review if you want more info!)
• Leather watch - you can't go wrong with a classic watch, although we still can't guarantee mom will be on time
• Paper Pumpkin subscription - for the crafty woman in your life!  She'll get a surprise craft kit delivered in the mail to her every month (check out the first one we ever unboxed!)
• DIY mason jar gift set - if you're feeling ambitious, you can collect some small items and package them in a pretty mason jar
• A funny book - watch out Ryan Gosling, there are some new studs in town!
• Or if you're in the mood for Pulitzer-prize-winning material, try this book, or check out this list for top inspirational books

We hope you have fun blessing the socks off your mom or the special women in your life this Sunday!   If you have other brilliant ideas, please share your awesome gifts with us below!

Valentine's Puzzle Gift and Bag Topper Printable

We wanted to share an idea for a non-chocolate, non-candy, non-tooth-decay-causing Valentine's treat that your child could give out to their friends.  Not only is this gift sugar-free, it's educational!  Enter heart-shaped puzzles!  We found these puzzles randomly while browsing for art supplies and thought they'd be perfect to give away.  They're just over a dollar each, so it doesn't break the bank.

You can leave them blank so the receiver can decorate it, or have your child colour and personalize it with the person's name (if you don't have a crazy number of kids in your class).

My daughter loved pulling the puzzle pieces apart to put them in the bags, and she also loved re-assembling them!  I daydreamed about the day she'd have the patience to colour in 25 of these puppies and all the free time I'd have...and then my bubble burst when she complained that she was tired of coloring the first one.  Sigh.  I think we'll stick with giving them away blank so the other kids can decorate them!

Materials:

• your favorite coloring utensils (markers, paint, crayons, pencil crayons, etc.)
• puzzles
• cellophane bags (the dollar store has Valentine's ones that are perfect)
• bag topper printable (links at the bottom of this post) and white cardstock for printing
• stapler

Instructions:

1. If you're decorating them before you give them away, color the puzzles using marker, paint or pencil crayon or crayon.  To personalize them, write your friend's name on it at the end in a darker color.  Don't do it at the beginning like we did, initially.  The name ends up disappearing under all the coloring!
   
   
   
   
2. Print out the bag toppers and fold them in half along dotted line.
3. Break up the puzzle and put it in a cellophane bag.
   
4. Roll down the top of the bag and then put the bag topper over the top.  Staple both sides.
5. Voila, a cute little gift for your friends!
   
6. Use the outside frame of the puzzle for photos or other crafts.

I love fast, and I love easy.  This gift is both of those things!   Hope you have lots of fun getting ready for Valentine's day.  Share all your lovely crafts and gift ideas below, on Facebook, or on Instagram!

Operation Christmas Child! November 16-22!

We know, we know, it is waaay too early to be discussing Christmas when Halloween is still around the corner. Unless the topic is about Operation Christmas Child...the much loved annual charity project that has a mid-end November deadline! For those of you who aren't aware of Operation Christmas Child, it provides underprivileged children around the world with the opportunity to experience the excitement that our children are blessed enough to experience on Christmas morning (for those of us who celebrate). The concept is simple, you pack a shoebox sized container with toys, hygiene products, school supplies etc., add a special note and drop it off at a local collection center.

So proud of the boxes! Note that we opted to use plastic reusable containers.

The shoebox will be delivered to children around the world impacted by war, poverty, natural disasters etc. I can only imagine the look on their faces when they are handed one of these special boxes filled with so many goodies! We have made it an annual tradition in our household to participate in Operation Christmas Child. This year, my preschooler was fully in charge of selecting and packing the boxes. I definitely had to provide some guidance, otherwise all of the boxes would be loaded with Disney Frozen products or pet toys (don't ask, she has a thing for pet toys). This is a great activity to do with your children to teach them empathy and compassion. My daughter was super excited about shopping for other children.

She really got into it and didn't ask me to buy her one single item (such a proud mom moment). It was so sweet to see the thought that went into her purchases.

All shopped out!

If you want to get involved, please have a look at the website and follow the detailed instructions! And remember, no candy/food products. There is a great list of the best things to pack in the shoeboxes here. National collection week is November 16-22 so get packing:)

Examining the loot!

Tip! Kid's birthday party coming up? Consider having guests bring a packed shoebox or shoebox items in lieu of birthday presents!

What acts of charity do you encourage your child to get involved in? Please share with us below so we can continue to raise compassionate children together.
