Santa Claus is Coming to Town

By 2 Comments

Guess what came in the mail?! The Jack and Chloe Santa suit arrived and the little guy could not be more thrilled! He wanted to put it on right away so I let him try it on before bed.

Then, we saved it for his birthday party with his Aunts & Cousins where he walked around handing out candy canes and saying “Ho, ho, HO!”

It survived the boy for a night and a trip through the wash so I am giving the little suit props! He will wear it to meet Santa at story time tomorrow and again on Christmas eve. He’s such a happy little Santa.

Don’t fret if you did not get your suit from Jack and Chloe this year. They have adorable non-Christmas items too!
I love the appliqued onesies and well this shirt is just tutu cute!

She’s having a destash sale so run over and stock up!

Disclosure: Jack and Chloe provided me with the Santa Suit, but the opinions of her shop are my own.

Neighbor Gift & Thanksgiving Point Annual Family Pass Giveaway

By 172 Comments

I attended a GNO bloggers event at Thanksgiving Point last week and learned some really fun things. Like how to make this adorable, economical neighbor gift…


Easy as pie: can, pea rocks, potting soil, paper whites bulb, moss, water, burlap, green sprigs, red berries, DONE and for about two dollars!

And where to shop for cute items like these…

I will require all my gifts to be wrapped in this paper. 😉 And I just adore these oversized stockings straight out of whoville!

Love, love the burlap pillows! The one on the right reads “My whole heart for my whole life.” Aaah.

Where to taste yummy food like this…

I am dying to try the Grilled Flatbread, Roasted Chicken Pot Pie, House Penne, Spiced Apple Fritters, and Vanilla Creme Brulee. Could I eat it all in one sitting, well I could try!

and where to ride through a glorious light display (including amazing water/ice sculpture) on one of these…


You must try the totally delish hot cocoa!
Plein Air Art Festival September 14-18

This was truly a learning experience for me. I have frequented the many child themed areas of Thanksgiving Point like Cornbelly’s and the Children’s Discovery Garden, but was yet to visit the more adult areas like Harvest Restaurant, where they serve the most divine Rock Shrimp Nachos, and the Emporium, with its 13,000 square feet of one of a kind shopping. There are seriously so many things to do and see at Thanksgiving Point any time of the year! Whether the Tulip Festival, cooking classes, or the gigantic Dinosaur museum there is something to please every member of the family.

Oh, and I have something that will totally please your family! Thanksgiving Point is giving away an annual family pass (value $175) to a lucky Tipsy reader! Talk about fun family present under the tree.

Nativity Advent

By 14 Comments

I wanted an advent calendar that would be fun for the kiddos, but also help us keep a Christ centered Christmas. Enter the nativity advent. We add a piece of the nativity everyday until we add the baby Jesus on Christmas. My mom also sent me an email with a scripture for each day so it goes along perfectly!

Here is the scripture advent called “Remember in December.” Just click the thumbnail below. I wish I knew the source, but it just came in an email.

Now for the how-to for the

Nativity Advent

Supplies needed:
  • Cardstock
  • Nativity Stickers (mine were Stickopotamus brand dug out from the depths of my scrapbooking supplies)
  • Scissors
  • Double stick tape
  • Magnets (I cut up the ones that come on phone books)
  • Staples

1. Stick the stickers to the cardstock.

2. Cut them out.

3. Attach magnets to the back with double stick tape.

4. Make a little envelope to house the nativity pieces by stapling together a piece of cardstock.

5. Then, put up one piece a day until Christmas. We put them on the fridge so it would be in the middle of everything. I tried a cookie sheet first, but ha ha, the magnets did not stick.

Santa Baby

By 2 Comments

Not only is it one of my favorite Christmas songs, but it is one of my favorite new finds! Look what little guy will be donning soon.

Toddler/ Children's long sleeved applique Santa Claus tee for Christmas

I know right?! Hilarious and adorable all wrapped in to one! I guess my guy just turned three so he is not really a baby anymore. He has been begging for Santa clothes. I didn’t want to get him a cheap tacky velveteen costume and good luck trying to find Santa suit pjs, I spent more time than I would like to admit on that search. (I so wanted Santa pjs for my 3 year old and elf pjs for the baby.)

Now I know to start my search on Etsy! I found this adorable little shirt/suit in Jack and Chloe’s shop. (random fun fact: she is LDS) I knew my little guy had to have it. Simple and so so fun!

Want one too? Jack and Chloe’s shop is offering 10% off any orders made through Friday, December 10th! Just use code TIPSY10.

HO, ho, Ho…Merry Christmas!

FTC Disclosure: Jack and Chloe’s shop is sending me a santa suit to review, but I fell in love with it on my own.
