Welcome to the Holiday Gift Guide for Grandparents! We are starting the season early over here at The Fairy Tale Family and we wanted to kick it off with our gift guides. If you tuned in for Blogmas 2018 (where I attempted to write a blog post for every single day of December - and I failed) then you will know that I LOVE CHOOSING GIFTS FOR PEOPLE. Seriously. It's my actual love language. I wanted to start with some of the most important people in our lives. My mother-in=law - Mammie[...]
Happy Sunday, friends! What a festive, fun-filled weekend it's been for my family. Today's post is coming a little later than usual because of all of the time we've been spending together. I hope you've been able to soak up some time with your loved ones as well. If there is a secret weapon to being a mama, I'd say it's Pinterest. Pinterest holds a treasure trove of ideas ranging from the simple-do-now-achievable to intense-complex-failures. I've been the victim to some fairly epic Pinterest Fa[...]
Do you have a lady in your life that you'd like to buy for? Is she discerning (read: picky)? A little bougie? Fantastic. You've come to the right place. As mentioned in Blogmas Day 4 (Part II): 12 Seasonal Favorites, my absolute favorite part of December days are gift buying and gift giving (and don't forget the wrapping!). I don't feel like an expert in many capacities, but I boldly state that I am and expert gift giver. This is being said also knowing that I am on a teacher's salary and[...]
Today brings you the final six of my favorite twelve things in this holiday list. If you missed the first six, you can find them here from yesterday's post. Let's jump on in, shall we? 7. The Clothing Ok, so I already covered the outerwear, but have I mentioned how much I love Christmas sweaters? The uglier, the better in my opinion. I also LOVE me a graphic tee that is seasonal. I have a few, some are school appropriate while others are not (probably shouldn't wear my "Merry[...]
When I found out I was pregnant, I became somewhat obsessed with planning out what we would do as a family throughout the year. My favorite childhood activities would be passed on - spending as much as possible in the ocean, walks at The Knob, apple picking, visits to Storyland - and I wanted to establish our own family traditions. While I love holidays in general, Christmas is the capstone of tradition. In my newly pregnant mind, I imagined my child patiently sitting next to a perfect Christmas[...]
I owe you an apology. I've been absent from this blog. I'll go into more detail later on why, but I'm sorry for the radio silence. Blogmas is coming, so I assure you you'll be hearing from me more often. Can you forgive me? It's the season of forgiveness, which leads me to my post today: HOLIDAY TIME! Like so many of us, this is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love Christmas. The lights, a tree inside, the wrapping paper, the hosting, the gift giving, the traditions, oh be still m[...]
