I’m THRILLED to have Anna from My Life and Kids here today. She was the first bigger blogger to take me under her wing, so I consider Anna to be a mentor. It has been so much fun getting to know each other and see how much we have in common. This was one of my favorite ideas from her new eBook and she offered to do a guest post on it here while I’m off focusing on our big move! Here’s Anna…
When I was growing up, I always had a small Christmas tree in my bedroom. I can still remember lying in bed, seeing the twinkling lights and being so excited about the holidays.
My mom has continued the tradition and decorates a small tree for my kids’ rooms every year.
My daughter’s tree is pink (of course).
And my son’s tree is bright green.
My mom makes new ornaments every year. She prints pictures, laminates them and adds yarn for easy hanging.
This year my daughter’s tree is filled with her favorite princesses:
And my son’s tree is full of pictures of garbage trucks (his favorite) and pictures of himself (his other favorite.)
The kids LOVE their trees, and I love the memories they bring back from my own childhood.
This is just one of more than 50 holiday traditions I’m sharing in my FREE eBook: FUN! Holiday Traditions.
