I can't believe Christmas is officially one week away! And I'm not even close to ready...I have this crazy long list of things I still want to accomplish but the reality is my days are getting numbered. To make matters worse almost everyone in my family came down with a stomach virus last week which unfortunately put a lot of things on hold. But fingers crossed we're almost in the clear. I wasn't feeling myself last night and baby Irelynn has been sick all day. We were the last two to get it so hopefully by mid-week we'll all be feeling better!
With exactly 7 nights before the big day I thought it would be appropriate to share 7 Elf on the Shelf ideas. I love the whole tradition of Elf on Shelf but I'll be honest, some nights I have absolutely zero motivation, let alone any creative ideas. Because I'm always the last one up, the responsibility falls on my shoulder to get inspired, get moving and make sure our Elf Timbit gets up to no good. I don't know whose more excited in the morning - the kids or my hubby. I really do love seeing the look of excitement on their faces when they find her, it makes spending those extra few minutes each night so worth it. I'll admit, on occasion I've been known to spend more than a few minutes creating some pretty intricate set-ups but when that's the case I try to share some of those ideas (and the props) with friends or neighbours. The best part is when our kids start discussing what their Elves have been up to...they're always so surprised to learn that sometimes the Elves like doing the same things! It makes the magic behind the tradition seem even more real.
Here's what our Elf Timbit has been up to this past week...
Have a great week!
