We can deny it all we want, but Christmas is coming, and if we’re going by weather, it’s already here in Wisconsin! Just about every morning the kids ask if it’s Christmas! We received toy catalogues weeks ago and they already circled EVERYTHING (well, it certainly feels that way) in the catalogue. They know they won’t get everything and I always ask them what is the one thing they want the most. Keep in mind, we don’t have cable, and we stay out of the stores, if we can help it, during the holiday season so my kids then aren’t bombarded by all the toys they see in the stores. Lately, I’ve seen so many people posting and talking about asking family members to get experiences for their children instead of toys. Don’t get me wrong, I think those are great, and I certainly wouldn’t turn it down. But, I’m also not one to ask this because I know how much joy grandparents get from giving a wrapped gift and seeing their grandchildren’s eyes light up with excitement....
So many blogs I read lately, are all about being a boy mom, or a girly girl mom (I actually cannot stand the term girly-girl). So many young girls are interested in a variety of toys and activities. Take mine for example, they all love dancing, fishing, EXTREMELY glittery projects, Polly pockets, playing soccer, and campfires. This blog is intended to reach the mom of girls that enjoy many things in life from tutus to soccer shoes.
