I start thinking about Christmas in the fall- the holidays are the busiest time of year for many small businesses and I can't imagine trying to finish Christmas shopping on top of everything else! I try to follow a theme of: one "big" gift from Santa, a few smaller gifts from Santa and us, and stocking stuffers (which happen to be my favorite!).

Here are some ideas for your 5-10 year boys! Gumball Machine Maker This is actually a toy that my son circled in the Amazon Catalog aka the Christmas Bible....
The time has come… the days are getting shorter and you can almost smell pumpkin spice in the air. If your kids haven’t already started back to school, I’m sure it’s right around the corner.

Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day... The three major patriotic holidays are right around the corner! We usually celebrate with family and friends at parties, picnics, and backyard barbecues. I love to keep with the theme of red, white, and blue, Stars and Stripes, and America! That means food, decorations, activities, and even clothing will keep with the theme! Whether it’s an activity or an accessory, I’ve come up with a little something for every member of the family to make their summer parties extra red, white, and “booming!” 1.
