Christmas Bucket List for Kids

 
You likely do most of these items with the little ones in your family. But, here is our list to help keep you on track this season!
  • Help each child pick out a gift for the other, wrap and place under the tree. (Get a gift for daddy as well.)
  • Bake and decorate Christmas cookies or decorate a gingerbread house.
  • Deliver Christmas cards and baked goods or candy to each neighbor on our street.
  • Trips to the library to check out Christmas movies and books.
  • Visit Santa and take an annual picture.
  • Take in a Christmas parade.
  • Watch multiple holiday movies at home (with cocoa and various treats).
  • Make a holiday craft or two (for ideas check out my Pinterest board, Christmas Crafts for Kids).
  • As a family take a drive and enjoy the Christmas lights.
  • Write a letter to Santa.
  • Decorate the tree as a family.
  • Move the Christmas countdown marker each morning. (My 3 year old's favorite)
  • Open and hang up the holiday cards the family receives.
  • Wear our Christmas shirts, hats and socks as many times as possible before Christmas.
  • Listen to Christmas Radio on Pandora and our local Columbus holiday station (93.3 FM) when we are out driving around.
  • Do a charitable activity: adopt a family, donate to a food bank, Humane Society or Toys for Tots.
  • Visit elderly family or friends that can use some holiday cheer.
  • Pull out and play with any seasonal toys we have (coloring books, puzzles, etc.)
  • Leave milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.
  • Sing as many Christmas songs as mom can remember. :)
If you do any other things, please share below or on my Facebook page!

Happy Holidays!
The Kramer Family

10 Organization Tips to Manage Digital and Paper Clutter

(Edited and reposted from 1/16/17 blog post that accidentally got deleted) I am a little behind on my new year/get organized post because I went and had a baby 2 weeks ago ;) I wanted to share a quick list of things you can implement today to help organize the digital chaos and control the paper clutter in your life. 1)    Set up a Secondary Email Account I have a separate email account for stores and online shopping.   This is the email address I give out at checkout and for online purchases.   Makes it super easy when out shopping to do a quick search for coupons and easy to locate tracking information as well as receipts you’ve opted to have emailed to you. 2)    Unsubscribe Unsubscribe from any newsletters or email lists you no longer find beneficial.   If you find yourself constantly deleting without opening, unsubscribe.   I should also add read and delete emails every day.   A cluttered email inbox, especially if it is a p...

Initials, Inc. - 3 Organization Items Reviewed

I love to highlight game changing products! It is no secret I LOVE organizing, like something could be clinically wrong with me.  I can't get enough of Pinterest because of this, shopping at The Container Store and Ikea (yes please!). There used to be a show on TV called The Amanda's, about a group of professional organizers from Alabama that went into homes and organized problem spaces.  I would have worked for them if they were local.  (Do yourself a favor and follow them on Instagram @theamandasorganizing) If you want to follow my Organization Porn (it's a real thing) Pin with me on Pinterest "Organize It" Pinterest board Anyway, in January I joined this fabulous company, Initials, Inc. as an Independent Creative Partner. ( https://www.myinitials-inc.com/kaceyk ) I love their products, the affordability, quality and their free personalization.  I have a great kit full of products, but today my first order came with items I chose, with my pre...

Just a Stage

Today on the way to Play School (think pre-pre school) I caught a glimpse of you in the back seat. All handsome and quietly looking out the window. How are we in this stage; where you now leave mommy to spend time with other adults and children while I run errands with your baby brother? Childhood, and parenthood for that matter, are just a string of stages we carefully, yet optimistically navigate. In your dad and my case case we tend to look back more than forward it seems. We were just lamenting the other night how, in what feels like days, your vocabulary has changed. No longer do you say "structions" (instructions) or "The kea" (Ikea). When we still use your toddler slang, you now correct us. You no longer wake in the night or give us much grief at bedtime. You are even allowing us to take your picture again. Quietly and swiftly we have moved into this preschool stage. This stage where you are becoming more and more independent. You wa...
