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.

December 18, 2018 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Review

The girls and I were thrilled with the opportunity to get a sneak peak of Mary Poppins Returns last night. True to the original magic, the story of Mary Poppins continues with an adult Michael and Jane and Michael’s children, Annabel, John, and Georgie. Without giving away the story, be prepared for beautiful dances, catchy songs and bright colors!

In Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns,” an all new original musical and sequel, Mary Poppins is back to help the next generation of the Banks family find the joy and wonder missing in their lives following a personal loss. Emily Blunt stars as the practically-perfect nanny with unique magical skills who can turn any ordinary task into an unforgettable, fantastic adventure and LinManuel Miranda plays her friend Jack, an optimistic street lamplighter who helps bring light—and life—to the streets of London.

Cast includes:Emily Blunt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters, Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh, introducing Joel Dawson with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep

STRAWBERRY GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

We are loving these Glazed Strawberry Baked Donuts on Frugal Coupon Living. They are a perfect treat and go great with Ice Cream! This is an easy bake at home recipe and best of all you don’t have to feel guilty because these desserts are baked, not fried! You will need a donut pan for this recipe.

In a small bowl just big enough to dip donuts, combine glaze ingredients and stir until smooth.
Dip top of donut in glaze.
Hold above bowl allowing excess to drip off.
Place donut on wax paper or return to cooling rack.
Wait for glaze to set.
In another bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tablespoon milk and strawberry preserves and mix well.
Gently spoon red glaze over the white glaze.
