Printable Christmas Gift Tags

By Leave a Comment

Amy here again from The Happy Scraps. Today I want to share these fun Christmas Gift Tag Printables with you.  Everyone needs tags for Christmas gifts, and I’ve made it easy for you.

Download and print your watermark free tags here.

Once you have it downloaded, print it out.  

Then cut up your tags.  You can hand cut with scissors, or just use a paper cutter.

Now you are ready to attached them to your gifts.  I chose to punch a hole in the corner and use baker’s twine to tie my tags on. 



Now that you have the tags, hopefully you’ve finished your Christmas shopping and have gifts to go with them.  If you are still looking for gift ideas, I have a few over at The Happy Scraps.  I’d love to have you come by.

Ooh, I just love these gift tags! I put beautifully wrapped packages on my wish list so these will be perfect! Thanks Amy!

Albion Fit $100 Giveaway

By 84 Comments

Post sponsored by Albion Fit.

Remember a few months ago when I told you about the Albion Fit Silver Signature Hoodie? Well I am still loving it, in fact I am wearing it right this minute. It is so soft and I love that it breathes so I don’t get hot. Anyway, the new Albion line is out and there are so many pieces that I am in love with! Take a look for yourself…

So cute right? I saw the Flatter Me Hoodie and knew I must have it. It comes in the most gorgeous navy and with all the ruching detail?! I die. The minute the announcement for the new line went out, my request went in. When it first came I was nervous because I ordered a medium and it looked tiny. Like, how will I squeeze my body in to this jacket, tiny. But, I tried it out and guess what? It totally fit and it makes me look like I actually have a chest. Woot, that’s a first. (Is that weird to say here? Oh well.)

Thanks to my five year old who stepped up and snapped pics for mommy with daddy out of town.


I love that it has thumb holes to keep the sleeves around my hands in this cold weather and that it has hidden side zip pockets if I need to stash a few dollars or a phone. 

I also received the Charcoal Lounge Crop which have just the right amount of stretch and are so perfect for everything from yoga to Zumba. They would be sooo cute with the Alpine Funnel Jacket!

Are you in love with the new collection? You’ll be excited to know that Albion Fit is giving away a $100 gift card! But first, they have a special discount code just for you! 

Get $20 off any albionfit.com purchase of $100 or more with code littletipsy20 at checkout! Hurry, it’s good until 11/25/13.

Holiday Ornament Appliqued Kitchen Towel

By 1 Comment

Hi everybody.  Ali here from HouseVintage.  I have a great little project to share with you today.  It only takes a few hours and would make a special handmade holiday gift.

See full holiday towel tutorial.

Here is what you need:
  1. Ornament template- I used this one from Martha Stewart.  Print it and cut it out.
  2. Buttons- I used some vintage buttons from my stash, but whatever you have on hand will work.
  3. Felt- This is a great use up for a scrap of felt.
  4. Kitchen Towel- Feel free to sew your own.  I bought this one from IKEA.

I decided to line up my three cutouts.  I then used a zigzag stitch on my machine to sew around the outside edge.  Go slow, and make adjustments, so you stay close to the edge.  If you don’t have a sewing machine, you could use an iron-on adhesive and skip the sewing all together.  
Position and hand sew on your buttons.
You are done!  Iron your towel, and it is ready to display or give as a gift.

Thanks Ali! These are the perfect way to spruce up your holiday kitchen or such a fun neighbor gift!

Mom of Boys: Comic Relief for Moms of the Male Variety {round 4}

By 7 Comments

I started writing down things I hear around the house that I never thought I would hear because, well, they make me laugh. I hope you like them too cause Mom of Boys is now a series on the 3rd Sunday of each month. If you missed our first Mom of Boys posts be sure to go back!
Let’s explain how this will work and who things were said by…

A = my skinny, karate obsessed, nearly 6 year old 

L = my spunky, snack loving, nearly 3 year old

J = my geeky chic husband

M = me aka mom of boys


This is in no way meant to be a parenting lesson. Just a little peek into our crazy and at times comical lives. 


Mom of boys…things you never thought you’d hear in your home, then you birthed a boy.
A: Smell my shoes. M: Nobody wants to smell your shoes. A: No really, they smell like cake.
A: Dad, I like you just the fatness you are.
M: What are you doing?  L: Getting all the dirtiness off.  M: where did you get it?  L points in car seat.         M: Are you going to eat it?  L: No! It’s dirty.  M: Are you going to eat it after the dirtiness is off?  L: Yes. Later… M: Did you eat it?  L: No. M: Why?  L: It was dirty.
M: Why ya taking off your shirt? Are you renting your clothes?  L: I want to be freezin’. I like to be freezin’ cold.
M: I’m pretty sure you’ll survive a broken banana.
A: Mom, when I grow up I’m not going to be a policeman.  M: Oh? A: Cause then when I get a bad guy and put him in the back of my police car he could toot and I’d be like, oh, disgusting!
A: My stomach is divided. On the food side it’s full, but on the candy side it’s not because I’ve had none.
M: That’s a great idea!  A: There’s little people in my head that give me all those ideas.
L: Can I have a piece of candy?  M: No, you already had cake.  L: But, cake isn’t candy.
L: Aiden, say something really loud.  A: Thiefs live in the wilderness! Lincoln, do you want to survive awesome as man?  L: I want to be a thief.  A: No you don’t, then they will put you in jail. They put you in a cell, it’s like a square room with bars on it. They give you food and drink so you can survive, but it’s yucky food and drink and you get sick because you don’t get enough sun.
M: There are things you don’t do as a general rule. Like, you don’t suck on your leg unless a snake bites you and you have to get the poison out. Other than that there is no reason to suck on your leg.
A: Can we go to the forest and give a bunny a carrot? Or maybe we should plant the carrot and if it grows orange give it to the rabbit and if it grows purple I’ll keep it and eat it because I’ve never had a purple carrot.
M: I don’t want to wear your spit.
M: Don’t spit so high you’re making a mess.
M: Quiet Aiden, we’ve had quite enough of your fox.
M: We’re going to make a dessert. Do you want Chocolate Bread Pudding with Turtle Topping? A: Why would I want to eat turtle? M: It’s not really turtle. It’s chocolate and caramel and nuts. A: oh, I want that.
M: Are you being rude to your brother? L: No I amn’t. Aiden is.
Have your kids made you laugh lately? What comical things have you said or overheard your kids say? Share in the comments and we will choose our favorites to share in our Mom of Boys post on December 15th.
