diy christmas ornaments snowman parade_edited

A couple of days ago, our DIY Advent Calendar had a lovely activity proposal for us: make some Christmas Ornaments for our tree! And of course, we went on to implement the proposal! This year, we chose to make some cute, easy and fun DIY Christmas Ornaments Snowman out of inexpensive paper cups. Materials you will need some plain white small paper cups (espresso size), markers or acrylic paint (black and other colors of your choice), washi tape (optional), glue, scissors, felt (orange and other colors of your choice) and a little string or ribbon.

Our 2018 DIY Advent Calendar for Kids

Hi everyone! It’s this time of the year again, hurray! I just love December and all it promises. Especially with the kids around, December and Christmas take on a whole new meaning. Every year we try to make our very own DIY Advent Calendar for our two kids. Last year, we actually made two! One only with books and the other filled with treats and notes with fun activities that we would do together as a family. This year, we decided to make one advent calendar that would combine both concepts. Once again, my husband took action and began preparing…

5 Kids Christmas Books, perfect (but not only) for a Book Advent Calendar

Favorite Kids Christmas Book Suggestions

Since I became a mom, I wanted to give my children the chance to love books as much as I did. So, I tried and am still trying as best that I can, to find and read quality books with both. Reading books together don’t just add to their knowledge or just expand their mind; the most important thing about it is, in my opinion, the bonding with my kids. You synchronize for a small time your minds and having them on your lap or just putting your arms around them while reading is such a great way to enjoy…

Shopkins Pinata and Soccer Ball Pinata DIY (Video)

If you follow my blog, you must have noticed that I love making pinatas for Birthday Parties! So, here a two more Pinatas that I made: a Shopkins Pinata and a Soccer Ball Pinata DIY (Football Ball Pinata for us in Europe :-)). How to make easy Pinatas The technique to make the Shopkins Pinata and the Soccer Ball Pinata DIY was the same as the one I used to make the tower for the Tangled Pinata. All I did differently was to adjust the height of the cylinder. Smaller height for the Shopkins Pinata and an even smaller one for…

Important life lessons I want my kids to know…

Hello, my dear readers and fellow bloggers! I wanted to share for a long time now, one of my favorite blog posts I wrote a few years ago for another site. It was a post about important life lessons.

Surely, as life continues, more lessons will be added to the list in the future, since we really never stop learning. The good thing is…

Tangled Birthday Party Ideas

After some years of small birthday parties for my girl, the time had come to organize a bigger, princessy party for her with all her friends from school and some other friends outside of school. The theme she chose was a Tangled Birthday Party – otherwise known as Rapunzel. Naturally, I went on Pinterest to get inspired. And boy did I get inspired! There were so many ideas out there, that it became really difficult to choose from… of course, as so many times before, I went for the easier ones, since time is something I don’t have so much…

Greek Christmas Carols

I try to keep up with my own little family traditions, like baking Christmas cookies, preparing treats or make our own Christmas ornaments. But there is also a very important Christmas tradition that almost every family in Greece keeps. On the morning before Christmas Eve, the singing of Greek Christmas Carols is taking place, bringing the joyful news to every home. How the Greek Christmas Carols Tradition Unfolds There are slightly different details on how this tradition happens from place to place. So, you can find differences in the actual time the Carols are being told, who sings them and…

DIY Christmas Ornaments out of homemade white clay (recipe!)

Each year I try to find time to make some DIY white clay ornaments together with my kids. It’s kind of tradition. Once we made ornaments out of citrus fruits, but mostly, we make DIY Christmas Ornaments out of dough. But I really didn’t like the salt dough most people recommend. The shapes would not be clean and the colors weren’t what I wanted. So, I tried a white dough, which only needed three ingredients and they really turned out amazing! Exactly like I wanted them to. Here is how we made them… For the DIY Christmas Ornaments out of…

They needed to be easy and cheap since we wanted to make a lot. I want them to be gifts for grandparents and friends, as well as for children from our kindergarten. So – no surprise! – I searched online…
