I have decided to make one huge gift guide staring all the people I am gifting for Christmas and then this will be it. I plan on sharing lots of fun holiday ideas as well so I need the extra time for that.

We are shortly entering the most magical time of the year and of course we all would like to be ready early to enjoy as much of it as possible. With kids it is extra special cause you can see so much joy in their faces. With all the lights, the decor, the presents and everything else that Christmas time has to offer.
I am so looking forward of doing lots of Christmas related things with our older daugther cause she understands so much already and still is mesmerized by everything.
Now of course I am starting to decorate and shop early for Christmas because I want all of December for fun activities and not stressing over all the things that should be done.
Amazon is my number one place for almost everything so it shouldn´t be a surprise to you that I was looking there first for classic red Christmas decor. I got a few of the things in already and can not wait to show it to Emilia.
Red and Green is not only the classic Christmas color combo but will forever be my favorite. Although I have a blush and mint green color theme on my tree this year I went with vibrant Christmas red in our entry way and have not regretted it one minute.
Our tree is from Fairy Tree´s and we have had it for four years now and the quality is really great. I have never regretted getting one. It is the 180 cm.
Christmas mugs really are my week spot and while I haven´t gotten this cute gingerbread mug I got another one.
I got the Fall version of the pillows and the quality is pretty good. Nice colors and sturdy and I think the Christmas themed ones will be the same.
My favorite things to decorate for Christmas are trees. They are my equivalent to pumpkins. Let me tell you I have collected quite some bottle brush trees over the years. They always look great and are easy and affordable to get.
Last but not least are these super cute plaid ornaments. I got a double pack for a small green tree and I think they will look just fine.

Halloween might be one of the best holidays cause it is all about sweet treats. Since I am not a huge chocolate bar fan I decided to adjust my crunch recipe to match the spooky season and maybe catch some little monsters in my home.
I have made crunch for almost every holiday now but I have to admit Halloween and Christmas are the two most fun.
It is fairly easy to make the crunch. Just add all the materials into a bowl and mix it with white chcolate (you could also use dark chocolate but in my opinion the white one looks better with all the sprinkles and decor). I have used little pretzels, macadamia nuts and cereal.
For decoration I went with little chocolate chunks, M&M´s and sugar eyes. The orange and the candy eyes are what make it truly a Halloween crunch.
For me the upcoming holidays and seasons are the best of the year. I do not mind warm weather and flowers at all but there is something so magical and whimsical about misty Fall mornings, falling leaves, the cool and fresh air and all the pumpkin decor. Taking a walk with a hot beverage and watching the Fall foliage will be something I enjoy forever.

With Halloween coming closer day by day and Emilia at an age where she is able to understand what happens I wanted to explain this festivity to her but since most of it are way to scary, bloddy or else I decided to go with a cute Halloween Tea Party appropriate for a toddler.
I have found this adorable childrens plate set on amazon and thought this would be a great starting point from where I can build up my Halloween Tea Party table setting. The cute colors hit the right spot as well since we are in a total pink and blush phase at the moment plus kittens are always a good choice with Emilia.
The coffee table was the perfect size for the set up. The right height and not to small or too big. To add some drama (cause I love a dramatic setting) I went with an all black sequin table cloth we also used for Emilia´s Minnie Mouse birthday party. Some other spooky elements I loved were the bat balloon, the little ghosts, the black candles and the adorable checkered pumpkin.
Are you celebrating Halloween with your little ones in any way ??
