The Original Elf on the Shelf

Did you know? Elf on the Shelf was written in 2004 by Carol Aebersold and daughter Chanda Bell over a cup of tea. Bell suggested they write a book about an old tradition of an elf sent from Santa who came to watch over children at Christmas time and share with Santa who has been naughty and nice. Over time, elf ideas have evolved to funny Elf on the Shelf Ideas, Easy Elf on the Shelf Ideas and even Naughty Elf on the Shelf Ideas, but the elf was not created for antics. He was created for the Christmas tradition of an elf visiting his/her assigned family… of course, that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun.

Buy Elf on the Shelf

When you buy Elf on the shelf, there are some important features to look for. The Original Elf on the Shelf dolls come with a red Elf, a box, and a book.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Shirt dresses are super popular right now, and this Women’s Erica Long Sleeve Shirt Dress is a must-have because you can wear it on its own with booties or over leggings.

This Women’s Long Sleeve Loose Sweater Dress is super cute and looks warm and cozy – perfect for the cold months. I would wear this ALL the time both on its own with tall boots and paired with the many leggings that I own.

How cute is this Womens Racerback Tank Sweater Dress?? It reminds me of a corduroy jumper, which I used to wear all the time back when I was a kid. I am totally grabbing this one!

This Women’s Floral Print Bell Sleeve Fit and Flare Dress is absolutely gorgeous. I love the bell sleeves, the way the skirt flares out, and the tie at the neck adds such a nice touch. This would be a great dress for all your holiday parties.

If you like more of a flowy sleeve look, you’ll love this Women’s Tie Neck Flower Print Long Sleeve Short Dress. I love the tie neck this dress has as well as the pleats on the bodice and waist. This dress has such a fun, flirty look to it.

I mentioned before how much I loved corduroy jumpers when I was younger, so I was super excited to see them come back in style. I’m in love with this Women’s Cute Strap Button up Corduroy Overall Jumper. It’s super cute and perfect for a fun, casual look.

You can wear this dress different ways, too. Pair it with sandals or booties while the weather is mild. When it gets cold, you can throw on tall boots. Or, add leggings for a totally different look. This is one dress I know you will reach for over and over again.

My favorite thing right now is my gold coin necklace. I am wearing it everywhere! You can get your own beautiful 18K Gold Plated Coin Pendant Necklace at a price to fit your budget!

Get triple the glamour thanks to the dazzling effects of this layered necklace! Three skinny gold chains descend from shortest to longest, all individual, so you can wear them separately or layered together!

I personally own this gold coin necklace and I cannot stop wearing it. I get complements on it all the time. I have worn it alone and layered with expensive pieces of jewelry. No one would ever guess the price except that I love sharing a good necklace find!

Of the two, I would probably get the one with two coins and a Madonna only because you could pair it with more or wear the longer coin with one layer and the shorter coin with another layer. Honestly, though, I like them both! Get your preference!

Back to School at Sam’s Club

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. All comments and opinions are my own.

Anyone feeling the effects of the first bell? Today, my kids officially went back to school. What that really means is I can finally sit down with you and share more about how to make your back to school season easier.

Did you know that Sam’s Club sells a great variety of Tyson products, perfect for easy and convenient back to school meals and snacks, including State Fair® Corn Dogs and Jimmy Dean® Frozen Breakfast items? With five kids in the house, two who can fend for themselves (or whip something up for their brothers), this is incredibly convenient. I wish to rewrite that sentence. With five kids in the house and a husband who is always hungry, this is incredibly convenient for a mom who cannot always get breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner in the oven quickly. These snacks are so easy even your kids and husband can make them in a quick minute!

My kids were incredibly excited to try Jimmy Dean Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick (20 ct.) Breakfast is always a struggle for us and my desire to get protein in the children before school sometimes falls flat to a bowl of cereal and milk. This pancake and sausage combination feels more like a Sunday morning breakfast and I feel confident feeding their potential with protein before school. Pop in the microwave and voila, breakfast is served. Add some syrup for yummy goodness!

We found these pancakes and sausage on a stick in our local Sam’s Club freezer section. Jimmy Dean also makes them in blueberry! Want a savings? If you get them in blueberry, they will be $2.00 off at Sam’s Club from 8/21 to 9/15 with Sam’s Club Instant Savings.

Another after school option (because we always delay family dinner until my husband gets home) are the State Fair Corn Dogs (34 ct.) This holds the kids over until 6 pm where we all sit down together.

Right now, join Sam’s Club to get a $20 gift card when you sign up for a $45 Sam’s Club annual membership. Benefits of Sam’s club include Club Pickup, Scan & Go and Instant Savings. With Scan and Go, pay from your phone and skip the checkout line for a faster shopping experience. Score! With Instant Savings, get extra offers on tons of already low prices. Yes! Additionally, look for more information in your Valpak envelopes for details on special offers available for Sam’s Club members.

Want something else convenient? You can order these items online now for Club Pickup later. This is awesome for me because it keeps me from unbuckling three car seats to pick up our groceries – Thank you Sam’s Club!

Which product is going in your cart with your next Sam’s Club purchase. The Pancakes and Sausage, Corn Dogs or both! Let us know what you think.
