Hello! Today we share with you Something to Wear as part of our children's gift guides. Something to Read and Something they Need have already been done. Stay tuned for Something they Want.

I'm so excited for this post because I love kids clothes! They're so cute and less expensive than my own clothes (usually). Kids look cute in everything so it makes shopping so much easier.

Today I have found a bunch of cute clothes at Target for the kids. I personally buy my own kids clothes at Target. I love the price and sales they have. The quality is also great. My son has pants from there that still look nice after a year of frequent use from playing outside. I also like their Cat & Jack brand because they get kids in on the designing process! So there's more unique clothing choices. And my daughter has many cute clothes from Target, dresses, pants, shirts, pjs...she's a Target girl like her momma! So I feel confident in recommending these clothes to you today. My kids and I both love them and they get complemented on their outfits frequently.

Right now Target is having a sale on kids clothes so it's the perfect time to buy. Buy One Get One 50% off! And if you order $35 of clothes shipping is free! Or you can have it shipped to your local store for pick-up.

Something to Wear for Babies

First I have found this adorable button up sweater that would be cute on any baby. You'll keep your baby warm and amp up their adorableness at the same time!
For a more dapper look, this suspender outfit would be perfect.
This red dress with a faux fur shrug would be so adorable on a baby to wear for a Christmas party.
Last I present this baby bear bunting! My daughter had a pink one similar to this and it was the cutest thing ever!

Something to Wear for Toddlers

This cute outfit would be perfect for a toddler girl to wear to a family get together where she'll probably be running and playing a lot, but you still want her to look nice.
A "Very Merry Very Bright" shirt and leggings! A great outfit for Christmas Day.
My son has these skinny jeans. I love that they're pull on because with potty training every moment counts.
I love how cozy and warm this sweater looks. And the big buttons would be great for helping your child to practice their buttoning skills.

Something to Wear for School-Aged Kids

This sweater is an easy way to have your son look dressed up without him having to wear a shirt and tie. He'll appreciate it. I have a similar sweater for my son and he loves it.
Joggers are the greatest pants of all time. They have the comfort of sweat pants but look nicer. I also love that they can't drag on the ground. My son has several pairs of these from Target and they are so comfy!
This lace top is so beautiful, I would wear it now myself!
I'm a sucker for sequins and tulle so this shirt and skirt are right up my alley. I love it so much!

This is just a handful of all the cute clothes I saw on their site and in stores. Have a look for yourself and do your shopping from the comfort of your own home. Merry Christmas!

Now that Thanksgiving is over it's time to start thinking about Christmas, and my favorite tradition is the Advent Calendar! I did a similar post to this last year where I shared the best printable advent calendars of 2018.

This year I'm just going to share some favorite advent calendars I've found.

And I'll remind you of these two we made and shared with you last year. A printable punch card with scriptures to read each day. And a reusable, felt, countdown chain.

Best Advent Calendars of 2018

Light the World 2018

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints makes this calendar each year to help us focus on the reason for the season, Jesus! It's always service oriented and this year is really cool because each week they have us focusing on a different way to light the world, starting with the world, then local community, then family, then yourself (self-care ya know!)! I love it and I'm excited to do it with my family.

Wooden Nativity Advent Calendar

I just love this wooden Nativity silhouette advent calendar from ByPryorArrangement on Etsy. It's so well done and the final arrangement is very nice looking. And if you're not into the whole advent calendar thing, it's still a great nativity scene you can just set out at the beginning of the season.

It's another advent calendar that helps remind us of Christ.

Dog Advent Calendar

Let your dog in on the Christmas fun with this countdown calendar for your pet! Each day you can give your best friend his favorite treat! Leading up to the big day when they'll get this cute stocking filled with toys and treats from Santa Paws! (Sorry couldn't resist the pun).
The advent calendar is from Supplysquirrelco on Etsy and the stocking is from Amazon.

Printable Village Advent Calendar

LittleLLamaShoppe on Etsy has the cutest printable village. It does require cutting and folding but look how cute it is when they finish! Each part of the village can be filled with little gifts of treats. And since it's printable, it's great for last minute fun.

Eric Carle Pop-Up Calendar

This is AMAZING! This calendar is like a pop-up book with a tree and a pop-up Santa. Each day you open a door to reveal an ornament that can be hung on the tree! This would make a great gift for a kid in your life. I have always loved Eric Carle's art and I love that I can have it on display in my home around Christmas.

And there you have it! my favorite advent calendars of this year! Do you do advent calendars? What are your favorites?

Best Deals on Amazon: Black Friday 2018

11/21/2018

0 Comments

Amazon has been doing Black Friday all this week with deals on some of our favorite products. I've narrowed down my favorite 5 deals for you here. I have personal experience with all these products and cannot recommend them enough. And at these prices, you can't go wrong.

Amazon Black Friday Deals 2018

1. Fire TV Stick

We have had our Fire TV Stick for about 4 years now. WE LOVE IT! You can watch Prime Videos, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, HBO, Network Shows, Disney Channel...and basically anything you want! There's also games you can play. We have Ticket to Ride on ours (a favorite board game of ours). My favorite feature though is that you can also play your Amazon Music on your Fire TV Stick. It makes listening to your favorite music so easy. It's great to have on while you're cleaning or just playing with your kids/grandkids. Oh and you can set it so your photos stored on Amazon Photo will be the screensaver for your TV Stick, so it can also make your TV like a digital picture frame when you're not using it.
It does require your TV to have a USB port, and it doesn't really work without WiFi, but these things are not very common to have problems with.

2. Amazon Fire Kids Tablet

The Fire Tablet is something we've had since we got married 6.5 years ago. My husband got me the first one as a wedding gift. And it's still kicking! We got a second one for our son to use when we went on a long road trip a couple years ago, and it is still just as effective. The kids edition comes with a thick rubber case that protects the tablet, as well as a year of FreeTime Unlimited. With Free Time you can limit your kids screen time automatically, and they have access to over 15,000 apps, audiobooks, and games that are age appropriate. After the first year it's 2.99/month, which you can cancel at anytime. The tablet also comes with 2 year no questions asked guarantee. It's a fully functional fire tablet too, the whole family can get use from it. I use mine to easily get kindle books and listen to audiobooks. When we first were married, it was our TV. When we travel we download shows that can be watched offline from Netflix and Prime Video so our kids can watch them. It's a great investment for the whole family.

3. Amazon Basics Cast Iron Skillet

I think I've talked a few times about my skillet already on the blog, but I love it so much! It cooks evenly and is non-stick because of the seasoning. It gives food such a great flavor and is easy to care for. I know cast iron can seem scary to care for, but this pan comes pre-seasoned and that makes the upkeep a breeze. I love this pan and use it almost everyday. That's my testament for how great it is!

4. LEGO Sets

Do I really need to explain this one? LEGO are the classic building bricks we all love and Amazon has them on sale right now! I love the sets with just a bunch of bricks so the kids (or you) can build to your hearts delight. But there's also sales on specific sets, like Harry Potter. My son loves his Duplo blocks (which are also on sale) but has started to get into the regular blocks too! I have fun helping be creative and build. LEGOs are great for the whole family.

5. Tombow Brush Pens

If you want to get into hand lettering, THESE are the pens you NEED. If you follow anyone in the lettering community, Tombow pens are the most recommended pen set. I got some as a birthday gift from my mom (thanks mom!) and they make lettering so much easier and fun. It takes a little practice to get used to the brush tip, but once you do, it's so nice! I'll be sharing a piece I made with the pens soon! But I'm amazed at these prices on Amazon's Black Friday deals! Because they're industry standard these pens can be pretty pricy, so snag them while you can on this amazing deal. The ink comes out smoothly and the colors are great! I can't recommend them enough.

These are my favorite Amazon Black Friday Deals for this year, what are yours? I like that the deals are all week because I want to get my shopping done so I can just enjoy the family time this holiday this season. Happy Thanksgiving!
