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.
The elves are back! I know this because before dawn I had a 5 year old swoop in and grab my hand, dragging me up the stairs to her room and pointing at the ceiling. Oh, and the donuts and milk mess they left with red and green glitter sprinkled on top was a dead...
The Princess Cupcake is so sad that her Elf on the Shelf Chintz and Jewel are leaving. She really loves searching for them every day and seeing what they've gotten into the night before. On their last night with us, thankfully they decided to give mama a hand. We woke...
The Princess Cupcake visits her Mimi each year before Christmas. Last year she was shocked to find out the Chintz, her Elf on the Shelf, had travelled with us. He was very busy with post-it notes and stamping her face while she was sleeping. She was concerned that...
Chintz and Snow White at 20 Paces The Cupcake LOVED, I mean LOVED yesterday’s Elf on a Shelf Tea Party. She kept revisiting the scene all through the evening. And not surprisingly, the mini “donuts” disappeared one by one with each subsequent visit. They were all gone...
This may have been one of the Princess Cupcake’s favorite Elf on a Shelf ideas – and I’ll admit I had fun putting it together. Although we have billed it as the Elf on a Shlf Tea party, Chintz is actually rubbing shoulders with Disney royalty over a coffee and donut...
So I made the mistake of asking the hubs for a few elf on the shelf ideas. He thinks we should just take a night off. I explained that was really not possible. Princess Cupcake gets out of bed every morning expecting to see what mischief Chintz has gotten into during...
After all the elf on a shelf mischief that Chintz and his buddies get up to, it is no surprise that the occasional bath is in order. Rub a dub dub, one elf in the tub.Elf on a Shelf BathtimePrincess Cupcake dragged me out of bed to find him this morning. She thought...
“MOM! Where are my headbands!?” The Cupcake was getting ready for school and reaching into her designated headband basket. If you’ve ever seen her, you know that no outfit is complete sans headgear. “I dunno! They aren’t in there? Where do you think they could be?” My...
“Chintz is REALLY funny, Mama!” “Even when he did the green milk?” “Uhhhh. I didn’t like the green milk.” Ouch. No matter - It seems Chintz, our Elf on a Shelf, has redeemed himself and his destructive ways this morning. I have no idea what she was...
Driving home last night: “MOM! Look! There’s the place where me and Daddy went!” She’s pointing wildly out the window. At Hooters. “Hooters?! Okay… So did you like it?” “Yes, I did. But they didn’t have milk.” My child takes her milk very seriously. She LOVES milk....
Not all elf antics are sweet. Chintz, our naughty elf on a shelf is back to his mischievous ways I am afraid. I was a little concerned that he had gone a little far with his latest antics. His 'artwork' was about to give me a true sense of my child's true personality....
After our impromptu meeting with Santa where the Cupcake told Santa all about her naughty Elf on a Shelf, Chintz decided to redeem himself and not leave a mess this time. The Cupcake woke this morning to a bright surprise: a brand new pink Christmas tree next to her...
"Mom, c'mon. Let's go find Chintz!" She's getting the hang of it. Finally. As she crept downstairs hand in hand with me, she instantly spotted him sitting in her rocking chair in front of her mini DVD player, hands in her box of popcorn and every one of her DVD's (and...
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!
