I cannot believe the talent out there in these young children! I am certain you have seen, or at least heard of the latest young singer who will certainly be “found” on YouTube.com.
Homemade Christmas Gift
When coming up with economical gift ideas this Christmas, don’ t rule out your local home improvement store.
I recently decided that it was more special to have my boys create their gifts for giving to some people rather than shop in the usual fashion. It all started when an Auntie had complained about breaking all but one of her nice ceramic coasters. I was shopping for replacements for her and realized that it may not be so hard to make a set, and for cheaper.
My two boys (5- and 6-years old) and I went to Home Depot and bought six bathroom/kitchen tiles for 31cents each, along with a can of clear spray paint to protect and seal the tiles once they were painted. We also picked up some felt with a sticky back to stick to the bottom of each when they were completed.
Using craft paints that we already had at home, my boys made beautiful pictures on each tile. We added the boys’ initials and the year. We then spray-painted each tile with several coats of the clear-coat. We cut felt pieces to fit on the bottom of each tile and stuck them on to protect her tables.
That’s it! They are done and we’ve made a timeless creation that Auntie will cherish for many many years. A personal gift that will mean more to her than a store-bought gift, any day.
So, if you are struggling with ideas for special gifts this Christmas, don’t forget to use your creativity and preserve the representations of your own child’s youth.
And…don’t rule out your local home improvement store.
Thanks Home Depot!!!
Tips For A Stress-Free Christmas
Author: Treat Her
As fun as Christmas is, we know it doesn’t all come together overnight! Despite your festive face, we know there’s a lot more to the Christmas celebrations than a cooked bird and a few Christmas crackers! From navigating the post to get cards out on time to picking and hanging the decorations, preparations start long before the 25th…
Here are some tips for keeping stress-free during the crazy time of year that is Christmas…
Embrace the predictability!
The one good thing about Christmas stress is that it is predictable. Unlike other types of stress that we encounter in life, we know exactly when it will start and when it will finish! Everyone’s in the same boat. However it seems, don’t imagine for one minute that others are floating around Xmas stress-free…
…And be realistic
Have realistic expectations about Christmas, copying a glossy magazine Christmas or keeping up with the Jones’ is exhausting, do it your way and you’ll look back with pride! Besides, you can make the Christmas tree from scratch next year…
Embrace disasters!
Something always goes wrong, it’s the charm and irony of Christmas, spending hours prepping the turkey then burning the gravy – you have to laugh! Whip the Bisto out and carry on, no one minds!
Know your limits
If it’s getting a bit too much, have a sit down or even a little nap. The world won’t end if you’re not constantly on your feet. Rope someone else in for a while, they’ll be happy to help and you’ll thank yourself for it later!
Surprise yourself
If you need a change, this year’s celebrations are an opportunity to do something that you haven’t before. Even if it’s just a different seasoning on the turkey or slightly different decorations, spice it up this year for something different!
Know when to say no
If you often wind up with too many activities and obligations at Christmas and find yourself flapping because you don’t have enough time for your own Christmas stuff, just say no! Don’t feel you have to agree to everything. After all, Christmas is about relaxing with your family and friends, your true loved ones…

Free Gift in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is breast cancer awareness month. What better way to honor those affected by breast cancer than to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is a wonderful organization whose mission is to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. It all began with one woman’s suffering…
Susan G. Komen was a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 33 and inspired her Sister, Nancy G. Brinker, to make a change…a difference… to others that may be suffering. Susan G. Komen’s story is so touching, motivating, and inspiring.
The fact is that about 192,370 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2009. This is startling. The facts about breast cancer go on and on. You can learn more statistics at Susan G. Komen’s website.
Supporting this cause is near and dear to my heart. Like many people, I have experienced loss due to this horrible disease known as breast cancer. It has forever changed my thinking. It has forever made me more aware and more angry at the disease. That is why I wanted to share some information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
In honor of Susan G. Komen, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Susan’s sister, Nancy G. Brinker, Kidz Comfort will give a free gift with every purchase made in the month of October. You can specify at the time of purchase within the “special instructions” area which of the following you would like:
- A Promise Ring
- A Promise Wristband
- A Susan G. Komen for the Cure Keychain
I am certain there is some one in your life that would love a beautiful toddler size pillow, made in the USA. Or, a Kidz heat & cool pack, also made in the USA. Shop and enjoy.
Sincerely, raelynn @ Kidz Comfort
