Treasuring the Santa Years...

I know that I started this blog with an eye towards shopping for myself.  I've definitely been doing that!  The truth is, though, I do love shopping for my kids, especially this time of year.  LOVE IT.  I think I get more excited about Christmas morning than the kids do.  I love the shopping, looking for deals online & picking up little things as I find them.  I enjoy staying up drinking Bailey's & hot chocolate & wrapping.  I love it all.
I love finding things that allow the kids to be creative.  If you're looking for ideas for little people in your life, here you go!  I also give the kids books at Christmas, & I'm an English teacher who was raised by a elementary school reading consultant.  I know my way around kids' books, & I want them to get their own post later.  Hang in there if you're looking for book recommendations! Here are a bunch of things I've actually bought & happily recommend!
