Nap Time = Craft Time

Nap time/Mommy time seems to be a thing of the past these days. Mason still sleeps plenty during the day since he is only 4 months and he sleeps through the night already. However, Keira has decided that she doesn't need a nap anymore. Most days I am OK with this. But others, it has meant I have to stay up late to get special projects done, which is a drag because I hate not being able to enjoy my full night of sleep! 

With the Holiday season upon us I have been browsing Pinterest for some fun Christmas crafts and ideas that I want to do this year. But lately I have been struggling with choosing between fighting my toddler's anxious hands and need to "help" or staying up late to complete a project. I think my solution just might be to come up with a few holiday crafts that Keira could complete on her own, to keep her busy while I complete my own projects. 

I know it isn't even Halloween yet but Christmas is my favorite time of year and I can't help but get excited! I would rather celebrate early, because come December 26, I'm over it. Sometimes I stretch the time to the New Year, but really, after the main events the whole spirit of the holidays starts to dwindle. So I say, the earlier the better!

I have already decided on doing an interactive Advent Calendar with an assortment of activities, a fancy light garland, Popsicle stick snowflakes, and lots and lots of paper snowflakes to line our windows.

What special projects you (my family, friends, passers-by who actually read my blog) are planning for this special year?
