The Magical Gift of Choice {Happy Cards®}

September 9, 2019 By Jillian Warner

What’s the best gift for the teen or tween? The gift of choice! Thanks to Happy Cards® for sponsoring this post.

Gifting in this age seems to run the fine line between wanting to give the gift of choice and also wanting to choose something personal. I think the happiest medium is a combination of the two. Enter Happy Cards®. Each gift card gives the freedom to shop, eat and play at a variety of retailers tailored to the recipient. In this case, my recipient was tween-age Kayla.

With school back in session and Kayla entering 5th grade, we’ve recruited her to do a job that goes beyond traditional chores. She’s our in-house Mandarin tutor for Blake, who just began kindergarten at the school she’s attended for the last few years.

Self Care Bath Jar For Tweens

When you’re a parent, there are constant reminders of how imperfect your parenting is. They fly at us in the form of comments from strangers, self-inflicted guilt and even from our own children. No matter how perfect someone else’s life looks, the reality is that we’re all pretty much winging it.

As our family shifts into the mode of having both a preschooler and a budding tween, it feels as though we’re hitting a critical point. One in which I’m supposed to have a heightened sense of everything that is happening in Kayla’s life and also take a step back so she has enough freedom to make her own decisions and learn from her mistakes.  [Read more…]

Make and Take Kindness Kits

December 12, 2017 By Jillian Warner

Make kindness kits at your next party! Kindness kits are kits made up of a few essentials for those in need. You can make kindness kits with your kids or let your guests make one as a parting gift before they leave your next party. They’re small enough to keep in the console of your car and are the perfect way to help someone in need.

Holiday Gift for Grandma {Photo Calendar}

December 7, 2017 By Jillian Warner

Need a holiday gift for grandma? Get 40% off a photo calendar at Snapfish with code Jillian40. Thanks to Snapfish for sponsoring this post.

This holiday season I was making my way through my list of possible gifts and thinking about the grandmas in our lives. Nearly all of them share something in common. Calendars! The printed kind of course. So instead of watching grandma crack open 12 months of dogs come January, I thought we’d make her one with a little more meaning behind it.

I headed to Snapfish to make grandma a calendar featuring some of her favorite tiny humans. After all, framed picture is fantastic, but 12 months of grandchildren to ogle is grandma GOLD. [Read more…]

Nurse Appreciation Gift – Call Button Relief Fund

May 9, 2017 By Jillian Warner

Apparently it’s National Nurses Week so I’m sharing something I recently made for as a nurse appreciation gift for the nurses who have been so wonderful to me during my many weeks in the hospital. They work really long hours and seem to have infinite amounts of patience despite dealing with a lot of crap. Both literal and figurative. So this “Call Button Relief Fund” felt fitting.
