Top five and bottom five gifts for kids

-

 Hello!

It’s Friday here and one more week until school lets out for winter break! It will be a fun one next week as they are out of uniform, our public school wears uniforms which I love, and it will be extra special with the creative themes the school has chosen. 

On that note of fun with kids, we always have close friends/family asking what gifts would work for our kids and so here is an overall list of top five and bottom five for our 4 and 6 year old boys. 


Top Five

5. Anything dinosaur

4. Cars (matchbox are our current fave)

3. Robot anything but extra points for Arnis if it’s a dinosaur

2. Play dough sets

1. Legos - seriously anything


Bottom Five

5. Anything loud without an obvious off switch… it will end up back at your house I swear and I will rig it to go off at 2 am last night because I have those skills

4. Lamps/decoration - not saying it can’t be fun but it’s hard to get something that is glass or really breakable that you can’t play with or that is summer seasonal and will be packed away for months before they can play with it

3. Anything that requires long set up

2. Paint sets (the boys love them but I prefer to get these so I can control when they come out)

1. Anything involving glitter… proceed at your own risk


That’s all for today!

Let’s Look: Low Level Goals for 2025

Hello, I’m going to try to keep up with this concept/challenge/link-up (seriously I need to figure out how to do that properly) from Mixandmatcama.com and alittlebitofeverythingblog.com for this year. It’s a once a month post about different things in each persons life and I love reading it on their blogs so it might be fun to look back on later in life about my own life. 🙂 I already shared my “resolutions” which are essentially these goals but here’s a recap a couple of weeks in of what is actually going to happen… I think. 1. Mailing a letter or card once a month to a friend I don’t talk to regularly. I still love this concept and it’s fun to try to keep connected with a couple of my sweet friends in a way that feels more personal but still doesn’t add too much to an already busy schedule. This will be the last week of the month and I can easily grab a card from the zoo or Trader Joe’s or just write a letter and it’ll still be fun. 2. Family Bible time. Originally I thought a nightl...

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun...
