Ok.. true confession coming from someone who works incredibly hard at planning and preparing for the holiday season early so that December feels less stressful. *See holiday planner post if you don’t believe me. ;) This December has been a little stressful! We honestly have just had too much going on the past few weeks and even though I was prepared for some of the holiday madness, too much is just too much. I’ve learned a good lesson! Aside from getting a jump start on all the things that need to happen during this time of year I also need to be more careful with our calendar and what we say yes to (although a big part of it is just the busy stage we are in with our kids!). Anyone else feeling some burn out this month? It will all get done though right!? It always does. I’m so excited to get my kids out of school Friday so we can slow down and enjoy some time together.
Because of our over scheduled December I am still finishing buying my gifts this year! I’m usually so much more prepared with my shopping by this time in December. I bought some things early (gifts for teachers, friends, neighbors and a few things for my family) but then I got busy and all of the sudden Christmas is a week away and I’m realizing there is much work to be done before Santa arrives! Anyone else scrambling with me in the gift giving department!? Seriously thank goodness for Amazon. How did we ever live without it!? Last night I searched high and low for some of the best sellers on Amazon to finish my holiday shopping. I found so many great products to try! Of course a few things ended up in my cart to me from me, but I’ve been pretty good this year so I don’t think Santa will mind much. :)
Here are my favorites of some of the best holiday gifts from Amazon! These are all SO good you guys! I hope this helps wrap up any last minute shopping you need to do too! As much as I truly love to be prepared, the fact is that sometimes I just work best under pressure. ;)

These are all so fun! Thanks for the roundup. I had to laugh because as I started to read this via a blog reader app I thought “they should really try Erins holiday planner – it is a game changer!” And then I noticed it was your blog 😂❤️🎄 THANK YOU for that printable this year. I have two littles (1.5 and 3.5) and it has been glorious to have things finished and enjoy the season through their eyes. I appreciate your corner of the internet so much but especially at Christmas – always so cheery and festive! My kind of place. Merry Christmas!
Julia! Ha ha.. yup it’s me! ;) I’m so happy my holiday planner helped you! It really does make a huge difference getting so many things done early and if I hadn’t filled out my planner and done that I would REALLY be scrambling right now! LOVE that you are enjoying the season with your little ones. Christmas is just magical with kids that age! I have the best memories of Christmas with my kids when they were young. It’s so fun now too.. just in a different way. :) Thank you so much for your sweet words. It really means so much to me that you enjoy my blog. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family! xo

Hi Erin!
Random question for you. What is the name of the book you mentioned in a previous post? You said the title turned you off a bit but after reading it you absolutely loved it! You even had your kids listen to some of it as well! Hope this rings a bell. Thank you!
