One of our favorite holiday traditions is for us to have matching or coordinating pajamas with each other and the boys. We start looking for them pretty early in the fall, just really anticipating finding something fun and festive! We can always find something special for the boys at The Beaufort Bonnet Company and we love to have theirs monogrammed for a special touch. They very quickly picked these Santa pajamas! We are obsessed with these feather pajamas and love how the pink and red look so cute together and with the boys’ pjs.

We wear our Christmas pajamas on Christmas eve and all day on Christmas Day, sometimes not even changing for Christmas dinner. Christmas Day is always a very relaxed and take it slow kind of day in our family!

Cheers,

Stia, Jean and Katherine

Everything You Need for a Gingerbread House Party

December 12, 2021

set up for decorating a gingerbread house

Thank you to Walmart for partnering with us on this post!

We have Henry’s friends from school coming over tomorrow to decorate Gingerbread houses. We did it last year for his class and he talks about it all the time. The kids all had so much fun using their imaginations and we couldn’t wait to do it again! It’s a pretty easy party to host and using my Walmart+ membership made it even easier.

Since the holidays are upon us and stores are so busy, I decided to use my Walmart+ membership to order everything for the gingerbread party. I made a list of the items we needed: pre-made gingerbread houses, all the candy for decorating and some festive decorations, like these cute Santa plates and Christmas cups for each kid. Walmart has the best selection of holiday baking needs and I know that my Walmart+ membership offers the same everyday low prices that you find in store. The pre-made gingerbread houses are key to making the experience streamlined for the little ones, and Walmart has a variety of shapes and sizes. Walmart+ offers the best assortment of high quality groceries, so it’s a win/win with unlimited, free delivery ($35 order minimum. Restrictions apply)!

Walmart+ made party prep a breeze for me! I was able to have everything we needed for the party with unlimited, free delivery ($35 order minimum. Restrictions apply). Walmart+ unlimited free delivery was very helpful when I realized I had forgotten to buy a few essential kinds of candy! You can see the full list of Walmart+ benefits in your area here. Now is the perfect time to start your free trial membership!

Christmas Wrapping Paper

November 29, 2021

I’ll always remember helping my mom wrap Christmas presents when I was a kid. We’d put on Christmas music, have our Christmas pajamas on and wrap until we couldn’t wrap anymore! She always had a cohesive theme and I tend to do the same now for under our tree!

This year all our wrapping is from Joy Creative Shop (a local Dallas shop!) and it’s stunning! I was first drawn to the nutcracker paper (a collaboration done with Dondolo Baby) and the plaid really made it stand out! Plus, we are surrounded by boys around here, so the plaid definitely adds a masculine flair.

If you are in the Dallas area, Joy Creative has the cutest shop inside Enlighten MD. You’ll find everything you need to wrap your presents beautifully! Also, her More the Merrier sale ends today – 10% off $100, 15% off $175 and 20% off $300+!

Happy wrapping!
