We elves try to stick to the four basic food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. — Buddy
It’s that time of year again – go get your elf on! We’ve had two Elf on the Shelf for years now and they’re so mischievous. We can give you a sleigh-load of tips from naming your elf to setting up all sorts of fun scenarios from Downton Abbey to Naughty Elves.
It's no wonder our elves on the shelf love to visit with the Smurfs when they are at our house each December. Aside from the shirtless Smurfs, they've basically got the same fashion sense especially the head gear. When they are not hat bonding they enjoy watching a...
This just proves it yet again, those elves are tailing me as well as the Princess Cupcake. Last night I went to the Grand Opening party at Kim Hoegger Home specifically to see the demonstration of Amy Howard chalk paints. And this is what we wake up to. Clearly they...
Ever feel like someone's watching you while you're sleeping? Yeaaahhhhh... I woke up in the middle of the night to see this on top of my reloved dresser. Yes, in retrospect, I probably should have rescued poor bear, but in my defense, I wasn't exactly sure what was...
The party at the Perot house continued for our elf visitors Chintz and Jewel last night, this time with a rousing game of Headbands (the Princess Cupcake's favorite game). This looks like an easy round for the elves though - what with the flying fairies and all. Let's...
Mommy has been working late every night and adding this Elf on a Shelf on top of it is starting to take it's toll. I'll admit it. Mommy is tired. But that's okay, the worst of the Christmas crunch is over now. This was the first morning in I don’t know how long...
It was a big day around here: Christmas program day at school. Christmas party at school. Giving Christmas gifts at school. The operative word "school" means there's an 8 a.m. deadline. "Big day" translates to Mommy is very, very tired from all the activity to wrap...
Move over Santa. Apparently diamonds and jewels are an Elf’s best friend. The Princess searched high and low for her Elf on a Shelf this morning. We walked the whole house and she had almost given up when she finally went back into her room and looked at the...
I’m kinda flattered. Someone wants to punch me in the throat. Cool. Hit me with your best shot. Because I totally deserve it. Yes, I am one of “those” moms who takes their Elf on a Shelf to another level. I don’t merely move our elf from shelf to shelf – when – if --...
Sometimes opportunity just presents itself… We got home from Louisiana and as I was scurrying around trying to wash uniforms and put everything away, the Princess Cupcake came walking up to me with face all scrunched up about to wail. You know that look. It was...
Have Elf, will travel, Part 2 When we all went to visit the in-laws, Chintz, our Elf on a Shelf, hit the road. The Princess was really amazed yesterday when she woke to find that he was able to find her all the way in Louisiana, which is “really far, far, away”. You...
Have Elf. Will travel. The Cupcake woke me up this morning, "Mom, hey mom. LOOK!" She's pointing at the mirror at my in-laws house. 250 miles away from home. "Look, look at that paper on the wall!" "What? Paper on the wall? How'd that get there?" "MOM! There's an...
When I am out of ideas for Chintz, I can always trust that Cupcake is going to come up with her own great ideas when I ask her what she thinks her Elf on a Shelf is going to get up to. Last night she said she thought he would do "something funny with Strawberry...
WWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Lucky little Chintz found his Elf on a Shelf wingman, or in this case, wing-woman. His magical match made in heaven. The Cupcake discovered Chintz and Tinkerbell flying suspended from our ceiling fan this morning, I think he...
Somebody looks as if they are feeling guilty about last night's Elf on a Shelf disaster but let me tell you, it sure ain't Chintz. Chintz thought it would be funny to put up toilet paper over the Princess Cupcake’s door. Knowing that the Cupcake HATES to have her door...
Everyday should be a party, but that would be EXHAUSTING! I do like to plan for a big bash though. Here’s a few ways that we like to level up holidays and celebrations!
