Monday Made It: Merry Kiss-Mas!!

I'm linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for a Christmas Monday Made it Edition!

Have you tried these A-MAAAA-ZING kisses?!?!  Oh my word.. I could eat an entire bag!  Well, so could my toddler.  Which brings me to this blog post..

You would think, being a "stay at home" mom I would make all kinds of crafts and cute things for her class and teachers at her mother's day out program.. Well, I don't!  I just get busy with stuff at home, pampered chef, my blog, my tpt stuff.. ya know LIFE!  So, I was determined to make something (ANYTHING) to take to her class for their Christmas party... and no I was not taking cupcakes!!! UGH- hated that as a classroom teacher.

I made these simple little tags.  You can grab them for FREE here.

And went to work...

Only about 30 minutes later.. I had them finished. Yay!!!

I might be just a bit proud of my Pinterest inspired student gift.

These would be the perfect Christmas present to your students without spending a ton of money.. just saying!

Christmas Questionnaire: 2014

I'm linking up with Fabulous in First for a fun linky on Christmas!

1.  When do you decorate?

Well.... normally I always do it the weekend after Thanksgiving.  However, since Thanksgiving was so late and we were out of town... I confess I did it the weekend before.  But to be honest.. I didn't care! haha  I love decorating for Christmas!!!

2.  Elf or no Elf?

As you can see.... it's not been the best year for our elf little friend.  I think I will try it again next year or maybe even the year after.  He might need to take a year off... poor thing!

3.  Christmas Cookies or No Baking for you?

Of course we will be baking Christmas cookies!!! Sara is so into "helping out."  So, I know she will LOVE baking cookies, and getting to eat them!  I am also a Pampered Chef consultant, so I have some yummy recipes I plan to try out over the holidays!

4.  Favorite Holiday Tradition?

I grew up with several family traditions, but one of my favorites was reading The Night Before Christmas as a family on Christmas Eve.  I plan to carry on this family tradition.

5.  Favorite Christmas Movie?

Well, there are a ton of favs.. I honestly can't pick just one...

                   

6.  Snow or no snow?

I would love to have a white Christmas, but not too white that we can't visit local family.

7.  Favorite Christmas Song?

I really LOVE Michale Buble's Christmas Album.. Pretty much every song on here is wonderful!

8.  Favorite Gifts to Give or Get?

Of course jewelry.  But, if I'm being real...  I'd have to say something homemade or sentimental.  Sara's teachers made these adorable calendars for us to buy as a fundraiser and give to grandparents, etc.. Of course, I got one for myself as well!

Head on over to

Christmas Break is almost here!!!!

It seems I have been a slacker this month and kept forgetting to take pictures.  You know how it is.. IEP meetings, 9 weeks testing, etc..  I planned all this cute stuff, but unfortunately this time of year is so busy.. blogging has fallen a bit by the wayside. 

 

But-- fear not!!  I did not take a few pictures.  Here are just a few snapshots of some Holiday fun we have had in my class!

I'm so ready for Christmas Break!!  I have been trying real hard to wrap up my maternity plans.  Although I am not due until Feb 8th.. I know I am going to be so overwhelmed come January-- so I'm planning ahead!  My brain is on over drive though.. I'm not only doing those plans but my January plans as well.  So, my brain is ready for a break from school!  I hope the next 2 days go by fast for you and me both!! 

 

Happy Monday!
