    Stocking Stuffers for Kids: Creative Journals & Interactive Books

    I don’t know about you, but I find a lot of stocking stuffers ideas pretty useless. The little trinkets thrown in seem wasteful and so I wanted to create a guide that would be a bit more intentional. This group theme is all about creative journals and interactive books for kids. There are so many great ones out there and you can either cater to your kid’s interests with or introduce them to the world of journaling which they will hopefully continue throughout their life.

    Olive Branch Painting

    I noticed that I save a lot of olive leaf branch paintings/embroidery on my Instagram (if you don’t use saved collections for your Instagram, you are totally missing out!!) so I decided to make a little collection here to inspire me when I finally get the time courage to paint one of my own!

    The Cutest Rainbow Rugs

    When I think “kid’s playroom” I always see a rainbow rug on the floor. After some research, I found the top 9 rainbow rugs I love and would put in my home!

    1 | This one has just enough pop of color and I love how it’s just hinting at the rainbow shape.
    2 | By far my favorite one and just waiting for it to be back in stock to buy! I see it fitting so perfectly on the side of a bed.
    3 | This was a close second. It’s modern but playful. They also have a very cute navy one too!
    4 | I’ve seen this one around and it’s very iconic!
    5 | I love the texture on this, you need to click here to see it close up!
    6 | More shaggy and fun texture on this rainbow rug! You can personalize any color you want which is really cool.
    7 | A classy rainbow rug with just the right colors I think.
    8 | If a rainbow colors are too much, go for a subtle natural white. I love this one and am scheming where I can put it.
    9 | This rug has the rainbow shape but doesn’t scream it into your face. The perfect balance.

    Christmas Activity Wishlist

    I’ve always been a gatherer of information and lists or goals or things I want to do. So when it comes to Christmas activities I, of course, have a list of things I want to do! I don’t think I can choose just 9 but these are what I really want to do this Christmas season or next!

    1 | I made these two years ago with friends and they were a little fragile but made the house smell amazing!
    2 | This is a tradition I will be doing at my house, the peppermint snowmen was my go-to activity as a babysitter during the holiday season.
    3 | I love the idea of a pretzel cabin than a gingerbread house because let’s be honest, those things never actually stand up
    5 | Next year we’ll have a cute foot to document so you can best be sure I’ll be making one of these next year!
    7 | I love hot cocoa and I love fudge, let’s put them together shall we!?
    9 | I think this colorful garland would be so fun with kids, and I’m sure they’d love to snack on them in the meantime too ha.

    Autumn Random Nine

    A preview of my Pinterest pins lately includes a lot of baby toys and the cutest little girl outfits. I love the weavings with beads and I’ve recently found some beautiful hand-cut paper to inspire me as I work on my Crafter’s Box project!

    I plan on knitting that little sweater, the drop back and open embellishment is just so adorable. And you can be sure I will buy that lamb set as well as the matching bear and elephant set for my nursery. I can’t get enough of this store lately!

    Waiting for Spring

    Starting a number of new mini post series, one of them including little moodboards of 9 random things, mostly from Pinterest. I totally use Pinterest for personal reasons even though it’s heavily suggested to use it for your business. But for now, I just like it to find inspiring images. And currently, my Pinterest boards are filling up with all kinds of cute Spring-related inspiration.

    1 | I am loving this lemon pattern dress, it is one for sure I will make for a little girl one day.
    2 | This embroidery of this dandelion weeds scream spring!
    3 | The colors in this photo I’m totally feeling.
    4 | Pink flowers and teal doors are what dreams are made of!
    5 | Isn’t this idea just the cutest! You can get the cutouts here.
    6 | Spring always makes me want to still my favorite to date.
    7 | Not sure what these flowers are but that yellow is so great.
    8 | A raspberry sherbert drink is definitely my favorite thing to sip.
    9 | Just recently have been a hat person and this pink one is so cute!

    Christmas Advent Calenders

    I am a big Christmas Advent person. I would have one for every room if I could. I love the idea of a cute decor that is also a fun activity that also can help direct your thoughts to the true meaning of Christmas.

    1 | This is the advent calendar I designed and created. You can learn more about it here!
    2 | Having bags with the supplies for an activity/scriptures to read is a great way to keep it cohesive and beautiful.
    3 | I LOVE this Purl Soho one.
    4 | An advent calendar that kids can place Joseph and Mary closer to Bethlehem is such a great way to tell the story of Christ’s birth.
    5 | Love the simplicity of this calendar. Each card could have a scripture.
    6 | I’m all about black and white and having wrapped gifts in each pocket is a fun way to keep the gift-giving all month!
    7 | This calendar doesn’t scream for attention but is simple and beautiful to have hanging on your wall.
    8 | I love the little gold hoops that hold each day’s gift.
    9 | This was a calendar I used as my inspiration, love how the pockets are part of the sky. Kid-friendly but still beautiful.

    Fall Inspired

    Fall is upon us and it is one of my favorite seasons. The colors and the feel-good aura and the perfect weather, everything is just right in the world when it’s fall! Here are a few things in my Pinterest that scream fall.

    1 | Of course you can’t do autumn without some apple crisp baked goods. I remember making my parents help me carve out an apple so I could sip apple cider so my love for fall runs deep.
    2 | This dress is the cutest and so perfect for fall.
    3 | I know it’s not Thanksgiving yet, but I love this tablescape!
    4 | I’ve been dying to do this project for years and I plan on doing it this year, waxed leaf garland.
    5 | This wreath I think would work great for the whole holiday season!
    6 | Just another yummy apple baked treat!
    7 | I love how this tablescape is minimal but still feels like fall.
    8 | Fall and soup go together like…fall and soup!
    9 | I look best in fall colors and this deep red color is one of my favorites!
