Christmas Elf Tradition

Make this holiday tradition with your kids a bit more fun with this cute "Hello from your Elf" Letter. Add your choice of personalization. They'll make the experience fun and you'll have a wonderful keepsake for years to come.

It's almost that time of year again. The time of year when we are filled with excitement, busyness, lots of parties and lots and lots of delicious, fattening food. It's also a time when our Elves come out to keep an eye on our kids. I've noticed over the years that the elf has two camps – those that do it begrudgingly and those that truly have fun creating elf antics in their home. For me, I love coming up with new and fun things for our elf to do. Yes, I'm the mom who printed a calendar and jotted down a few ideas so that nights wouldn't be stressful with what the heck is the elf going to do next? Even with a list of ideas, some nights it is still a pain. Sure. But lots of things in parenting can be a bit of a pain. My children's delight every morning makes it totally worth it.

I believe part of the joy of Christmas is making memories with our families. For my kids, I hope that when they look back on the Decembers that Ramone visited, they will remember how much fun they had looking for him each day. The tradition of the Christmas Elves goes back a long time and I hope when my kids become parents they will keep the tradition alive with their own kids. Do you know the history of Christmas Elves?

Elves are present in Germanic, British and Scandinavian folklore in which they are often referred as light elves (good) or dark gnome like elves (bad). In pagan times, Elves were believed to guard homes against evil. If you were good, the elves would be good to you, but if you were bad, they would play tricks on you. To keep the elves well fed, happy and out of mischief, people left a bowl of porridge on the doorstep at night.

In Iceland the Yule Lads visit homes each day to leave presents and play tricks on children between December 12 and 24. In the Netherlands, Father Christmas’s side kick is called Zwarte Piet (Black Peter), in Germany Knecht Ruprecht. In certain regions of France, Père Fouettard (the literal and rather scary translation is “Whipping Father”) accompanies Santa Claus, distributing coal to naughty children. One of the main Christmas characters in Denmark is a mischievous elf named Nisse. Christmas is a time when Nisse can have his fun. Nisse is said to live in the lofts of old farmhouses and he enjoys to play jokes.

Already associated with story telling and magic, elves began to be associated with Christmas in the mid – 1800s, when they became Santa’s helpers. Christmas celebrations were gathering popularity and Scandinavian writers penned the elves’ role as we know it today: good hearted fairy like helpers of Santa Claus that are sometimes mischievous.

Folklore tells that elves make sudden appearances in families in the run up to Christmas. They keep an eye on children, check who’s naughty and who’s nice and report their findings back to Santa. In different countries, Santa’s helpers go by different names, but the traditions retain many similarities – mainly centered around encouraging children to be on their best behavior. And I mean really what parent doesn’t want some help with that? Thank you Ramone!

You’re The Bomb | Hot Chocolate Bombs Recipe & Tips

Add a special touch to envelopes, goodie bags, handmade treats, and more with our classic holiday stickers. These are happy…cheerful and colorful stickers that will look amazing on all of your holiday gifts. Festive illustrations and lush greenery helps brighten moods with an elegant touch. They are great to affix to a mason jar of homemade hot chocolate mix or attach it to a special baked good…you are going to want to use them on all of your gifts.

Hot cocoa bombs are all the rage this season. They're fun, whimsical, and a surprise treat when we're seeking comforts in small places. Made from a thin shell of chocolate that easily melts when dropped in hot milk, hot chocolate bombs are stuffed with cocoa mix and other goodies (like marshmallows or peppermint pieces) to create an instant cup of everyone's favorite winter beverage. They're available for purchase from some retailers, but you can also make these tasty treats at home.

The new popular treat to make this year and just perfect to give for Christmas. Not only are they full of chocolate-y goodness, but it’s the experience of watching the outer chocolate shell melt in hot milk releasing the inner cocoa mix and marshmallows, that make them such a delight to receive.

The first thing you have to do is get a bag of chocolates. Melt the chocolate in a bowl above a small pot of hot water, and then use a spoon to dollop the melted chocolate into your molds, smoothing it around the edges until everything is covered. Set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

The next phase – and perhaps the most delicious – is to add the filling: you can use small or medium chocolates, marshmallows, cocoa powder, bits of broken candy cane and any other delicious ingredient - this depends on the size of your Hot Chocolate Bombs. Place your bomb in a cupcake paper or in a round cookie cutter to hold it in place as you fill it. You can fill them as much as you want and then close it with the other part of your chocolate molds. Heat up a saucepan on a medium-low heat and carefully melt the edges of the chocolate bomb so you can seal them together. Decorate the cocoa bombs in any way you like with more chocolate, icing, or sprinkles.

Once you finish them, put them in the refrigerator and after a couple of hours, they are ready to eat. Serve in a mug, pouring hot milk over the bomb and stirring until completely melted.

They are super easy to make, you can have so much fun decorating them with cute sprinkles and candy and once you pour over the hot milk you have a delicious mug of hot chocolate to enjoy filled with a fun treat like mini marshmallows! These are perfect for any occasion and make such a great gift for chocolate lovers. Whether you decorate them for the holidays, Valentine’s day, or even birthdays they are always fun.

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

  • Use a clean paintbrush to brush the chocolate evenly in the molds making sure to cover all the sides.

  • Let the chocolate molds set in the freezer, they set really fast (about 10 minutes).

  • When removing the chocolate from the mold and assembling them it’s a good idea to wear gloves to avoid any fingerprints on the surface.

  • Instead of chocolate milk powder, you can fill these bombs with your favorite hot chocolate powder, it’s also a great way to switch up the flavor by using chocolate orange hot chocolate powder, mint chocolate, salted caramel, and more!

  • Use candy melts and small piping bags to decorate your chocolate bombs. Think pink and red for Valentine’s day, red, white, and green for Christmas etc.

  • Sprinkles, edible glitter, and chocolate chips/chunks are a great way to jazz up your cocoa bombs. Drizzle over a small amount of melted chocolate and top with sprinkles so they stick.

Summer comes with pool parties, festivals, and (the best part), farmers markets! Many farmers markets across the country have officially opened up their outdoor venues as of the May long weekend. Visiting a farmers market is a great way to bring the community together and support local farmers, chefs and crafters. And this season especially it brings a renewal of community spirit that is so needed as we long to be around people again. It is just a great opportunity to get out, shop and enjoy the sun!

Picture it: It's early morning, the sun is shining and the rich smell of coffee and a plethora of other aromas coat the air. Sleepy voices laugh and talk, music plays, and colorful, vibrant people wander through the crowded parking lot. Everything seems to be teeming with life. This is the farmers market.

We love them. Some are seasonal. Some are open only on weekends. People shop under tents and pay vendors cash. It’s all very charming, and a nice alternative to grocery stores. And there are so many treasures to be found – raw honey, eggs with beautiful orange-colored yolks, cut flowers, artisan cheeses, kombucha, and the list goes on.

The fruits, vegetables, grains, seafood, meats, cheeses, eggs, and milks you buy at the farmers market are the freshest and most delicious available. Fruits are allowed to ripen fully in the field and brought straight to you. Food is all seasonal, you get to reconnect with nature, weather and turning of the year. Eating and cooking with each season is something we need to find our way back to. In-season produce is not only at the peak of its deliciousness, but it is healthier too. That’s because the fresher it is, the more nutrient-dense it’s likely to be and it doesn’t get much fresher than your local farmers’ market!

Here’s an article discussing 5 benefits of eating seasonal produce – there’s also a list included so you know which fruits and veggies are in season. The first time cherries appear, usually in late May, is a sign stone fruit season has officially kicked off and the floral apricots of June will be next, followed by sugary peaches in July and August.

Not every market is the same, but look for lettuce, Asian greens, scallions, radishes, fresh peas (both edible-pod and shell peas), green garlic and garlic scapes, throughout the next month. June is also the season for locally grown strawberries. Also be aware that some market vendors carry fresh eggs, dairy products, and meats, while others sell baked goods, natural foods and arts and crafts.

Farmers markets provide an opportunity to buy meat directly from the farmer.  I recommend purchasing the best quality meat your food budget will allow because when it comes to protein and fat quality is key.  Talk with the farmers and ask them about their farming methods.  They will appreciate your interest!  This is your opportunity to learn how the meat you eat is raised so don’t be shy about asking questions.  Ask if the chicken and pork were pasture-raised and if the beef was grass-fed and finished.

Plus, there’s plenty to buy that doesn’t require a vegetable peeler. There’s a dude selling eight kinds of olive oil, a father-son duo with orchids in three sizes and an adorable elderly couple offering sticky jars of honey in every shade of amber. A few random purveyors join the fun, too: the overly friendly hummus guy, the Peruvian lady who weaves huge baskets and the wheatgrass juice-slinging hippie chick. Like a cast of sitcom characters, no week is complete without an appearance from each of them. I think everyone can agree on the importance of supporting your local community. By shopping at your local farmers market, you directly impact the livelihood of the farmer you buy from.

Need help finding a farmers market close to you?  Visit https://www.localharvest.org/farmers-markets/ or https://sustainableagriculture.net/blog/national-guide-to-finding-local-food/

When you shop at local farmers markets, you are supporting local farmers, the local economy, our regional food resiliency and reducing your carbon footprint.

Make a plan to include a visit to your local farmers market as part of your regular grocery shopping routine. It’s a great opportunity to support your community and nourish yourself and your family with seasonal foods. See you at the market!

Bumble Bee Baby Shower Brunch

Flowers are blooming and bees are a buzzing - Spring is officially here! Take that inspiration and craft a fun buzz worthy bee themed baby shower brunch. It's the perfect theme to carry from What Will it Bee? gender reveal to “Mommy to Bee” or “Sweet as Can Bee” baby shower. Then into the nursery décor and baby's first birthday with “Happy Bee-Day”. Whether it’s for a child’s birthday party, a springtime get-together, a baby shower, or a garden party, this bumble bee theme is so cute and tons of fun! With a theme this versatile there's an abundance of amazing ideas.

Honeycombs, cheerios, and other bee-adjacent cereals can be displayed in glass containers throughout the party. Mini bumble bee candies to dot table clothes and place settings. And for a truly impressive main course: honeycomb-shaped waffles topped with golden honey, fresh whipped cream, and bee candy.

Some cute paper straws, a bouquet of flowers, or some balloons go a long way and are all inexpensive when you are decorating for a bee theme. Mix and match yellow and black balloons, vibrant streamers and party banners. Go all out by creating a balloon arch. All it takes is a few colors of balloons, wire, and command hooks to take your space to the next level. You can use it as a photo booth background or as a little style boost above a gift or light bites table.

If you want to throw your own bee-themed spring event, get creative with party favors, food, and décor. You can even encourage guests to dress in yellow or black or give them some real honeycomb and jam to take home with them after.

So if you or someone you love is a fan of all things bee, look no further than this collection. Bright and cheery, yellow gold adds a flash of energy this spring and has us thinking of the luxurious summer days ahead! The bright pops of yellow are balanced by sweet pastel tones, making it a spunky and fun palette. You'd better bee-lieve we're buzzing with excitement over these designs.

Even stuck at home, you can still have a festive Cinco de Mayo celebration. Take your fiesta virtual! Featuring festive watercolor elements including tacos, margaritas & tequila. This party is made possible by the power of technology! If you can't get together in person, invite guests to celebrate virtually with a video party. You don’t need to pay for meals for your guests, drinks, favors or hiring out a venue. All you need to do is organize some activities and ensure that everyone has access to the internet, a camera or microphone for the event.

To help you have a fun celebration at home, we rounded up some easy Cinco de Mayo ideas that you can try while staying safe and social distancing. Immerse yourself in the culture of Mexico, have a few drinks and a few laughs. Support your local businesses where you can and party knowing you won’t have to find a safe way to get home after a few too many margaritas.

  1. The first thing you need to host a virtual fiesta is a video conferencing platform. Zoom, Google Meet, Facetime are all options. Download one beforehand and test it out to ensure the best quality and experience when it comes to your fiesta. Check the signal strength in the room where you want to have your service; you may need to purchase a WIFI booster or mesh system. If you want to make it seem like you’re all together, set a place for the computer, so you can all video chat during the night. Depending on your group, you may also want to consider designating a “tech captain.” That person can teach your less-tech-savvy relatives how to use Zoom in advance and help sort out any technical issues that arise day-of, so they don’t derail the entire event.

  2. Just because the party is going virtual, it doesn’t mean beautiful invitations are out of the question. Make your guests feel extra special. Send out something festive in the mail for a personalized touch. Paper invitations also give you a chance to include some special extras for your invited guests, like photos, game cards, raffle tickets and whatever other extras that will help guests feel included in your big event. They also serve as a great keepsake! If you are sending paper invites, then you will need to adjust the invitation wording so that guests know that it is a virtual party.

  3. Whether you’re going full out dance party or just want some ambient music, the right playlist is key. Let everyone share the evening and feel connected by creating a shared playlist. You can create collaborative playlists using Spotify, where every household can access the same playlist. Or create a playlist on YouTube, if having a video in the background is your thing, where everyone can have similar musical experience and create a lasting memento of the night that can be played again in the future.

  4. While you won’t be eating the same meals, you can plan ahead to get everyone to make their own versions of taco night. Include the basics, like your choice of meat, tortillas, rice and beans. Don’t forget toppings like cheese, sour cream and Pico de Gallo.

  5. To give your virtual Cinco de Mayo party a little more flare, have all participants dress up for the occasion. The colors of the Mexican flag are green, white and red. Make things extra fun with an award for best costume. Include multiple categories like kids, group and most creative. Have participants vote for the best outfit by sending in comments to the host. Whoever receives the most votes, will have bragging rights until next year! You can screenshot or record the call depending on the platform to document these fun moments.

  6. As fun as it is to celebrate with food and drink, it is also important to know the true history of this day as well. Cinco de Mayo officially celebrates the 1862 Mexican army’s victory over the French. Educate yourself about the history of Mexico, try some authentic recipes, listen to Mexican musical artists. Do a little research and you might find you love the holiday even more knowing where certain traditions originated.

Luckily, there are so many virtual Cinco de Mayo ideas you can use to have a fun fiesta at home this year. There are still ways to support your local Mexican-owned businesses, have fun with friends and loved ones and—of course—eat and drink your heart out.
