So, I know that a lot of us have the tradition of new PJ's opened on Christmas Eve.  I so love this tradition and do it every year but I always had one problem...which ones are the PJs? I'd try marking them but they would still get mixed in and I would spend a good amount of time under the tree (with antsy kids I might add) searching and sorting trying to find my marked presents until I had this idea! I made up a "Santa Sack" that I put all the PJ's in. Its looks darn cute under the tree too!  Then Christmas Eve I just grab the sack and let the kids get their packages from it.  Simple, easy fix!! What do you do to keep the PJ's separate and easy to find?? Comment! I'd love to hear!!

Do you have lots of kids on your to buy for list this Christmas? Have I got a great idea for you!?! Right now, during back to school sales, you are going to find killer deals on all things creative. Crayons, markers, colored pencils glue etc.  Even the boxes to keep them all in are on sale!!! Pick some up and put it away to give as a fun art supplies packs for the little sweethearts! Even if they get some for actual back to school, by Christmas (at least at my house) things are missing or broken and could use a good refreshing. (and its nearly impossible to have too many crayons) Its a great way to give a nice big present for a small price, it works for boys and for girls and even for nearly all ages!!! Does it get much better than that?? I think not!! loves to all!! Emily

It is tradition (don't you know if you do something twice it suddenly becomes tradition LOL) to have a shaving cream fight after school on the last day of school to ring in the summer. Let me just say there is never more fun than can come from 5, buck a piece, shaving cream cans can buy!! I will only allow it that one weekend because it is a big mess to clean up and it does something very odd the the hair. The kids know to get as much out of it as they can, while they can, so needless to say they do. PS we learned that the aloe kind burn a little and will be avoided next year. Why does this friendly gesture look very suspicious? HO HO HO!!  Don't forget to enter my giveaway for your own custom "floating Frame" HERE!!
