Friday Faves.
A simple round-up of the week’s favorites and some lovely things I’ve found online to share (including some holiday gift picks and kid favorites).

Welcome to Dinovember. You will smile. Love this: “Childhood is fleeting, so let’s make sure it’s fun while it lasts.
Favorite Holiday Kid Picks
1) Plush Campfire Set from Land of Nod. (We frequently get asked about our Etsy campfire, but the shop doesn’t make it anymore. Land of Nod debuted this beautiful one this holiday–love that birch log!)
2) Hand carved magnetic fishing set from Wooden Moose Creations. We bought this set and stained it ourselves for Nella for Christmas(natural wood set is priced a little lower). Well, Santa did. I’m so excited for her to open it.
3) Obsessed with these finger puppet stocking stuffers from Folkmanis. I want them all.
4) Turn your favorite photos into a personalized memory game: Pinhole Press.
Happy weekend, ya’ll!






Love these ideas for Christmas, ideas are always appreciated! I also love using small businesses. Love Nella’s facial expression. She is just so cute. Kelly I am wondering if you read one of my comments where I posted the Little Boy named Archie who was adopted and has DS. And his sister is telling the world how perfect he is, it is the greatest video. Loved it and so would you. If you didn’t see it I would love to send it to you in your email so you could watch it. My email is vermonter34@gmail.com if you would allow me to send it to you. Thanks and have a great weekend!
Been thinking about trying to make one of the campfire sets myself. I’ve been thinking my little boy (Nella’s age) would love it.
Also have you seen the cute hand and finger puppets on Ikea’s website? They make me think of you. They even have a unicorn!

And speaking of unicorns, I saw this book … The Christmas Unicorn … at Barnes and Noble and thought of you.

I couldn’t leave a comment on the Target post – but could you put in a good word for us down here in the US Virgin Islands? They won’t ship to us and we’re DYING to get a Target here on island! We just welcomed Walgreens and the whole damn island threw a parade for them! A parade for Walgreens! Imagine the carnival of events if Target came!
Just a side note: You might add that the campfire set from land if nod doesn’t expect to ship until mid January
That memory game is awesome! And I think Nella looks a bit like Lainey. They are both gorgeous!
I am planning to buy one of my nephews the campfire this year since I’ve loved seeing how happy it makes your kids. So innovative and unique! We are also getting him a teepee. It’s going to be so fun! Thank you for sharing these great ideas, Kelle π
Hi Kelle!
I love these ideas Kelle! I just have one question, to what extent do your kids believe in Santa? I do not have any kids of my own yet, but my sister does and they do not believe in Santa. They do, however, often play in imaginary worlds that is encouraged by my sister and me. We just want the kids to know when something is imaginary and when it is real. What is your take on Santa?

I know you’re from Northern Michigan. So am I. It’s magical & I miss it hard.
This video of Traverse City’s lip dub was so awesome. I knew you’d appreciate it as much as I did. It’s worth watching the entire way through & showcases Michigan’s rich culture!
Kelle….
Nella’s “Favorite Face” makes me happy!! π

Love your Friday faves. Nella is just BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thanks for introducing me to Dinovember!!!! Love it:) Am getting ideas for our Henry the Elf. Must make magic while my lovely not so small babies (8 and 2) believe!!!
Kelle,
You might delete my post, and I guess that’s okay. Your blog. I have to say that I find there’s too much “advertising” on your blog lately, and I can’t read it anymore. I suspect many of your long-time readers are equally dissappointed by this change in your focus.
