FUN PRINTABLE: Letter to Santa Mad Libs-Style
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but our free fun downloads are delightful for keeping wee ones occupied during the holidays. We know how excited kiddos get at this time of year, so we took a break from designing personalized baby gifts to create two super fun projects you can download – a letter to Santa and an interview with Santa – both in a Mad Libs-style that can be recreated over and over again for endless entertainment.
Download the Interview with Santa and the Letter to Santa files here.
Have fun! Now, we better get back to work – personalized growth charts, big brother shirts, big sister shirts, 1st birthday shirts don’t create themselves!

Citrine Love
It’s a new month (wow how is it already November?!?) which means we are crushing on a new color. This month we are loving the color Citrine! It’s the perfect color of fall. Citrine isn’t a color that most people talk about all the time, but I’m guessing once you see it, you’ll start noticing it a lot more.
Check out our favorite citrine inspirational pieces.
From top left to bottom right:
- Petite Lemon’s personalized tees are so much fun to wear for any season. This Love to Sketch tee is a great way to celebrate a Big Sis!
- We loved this DIY gallery wall showcasing projects from little ones. Check out The Caterpillar Years blog for a tutorial to create your own gallery wall .
- Homemade chocolate honey suckers!! We say yes to that. Check out The Taylor House blog for the recipe.
- Rubbing leaves on paper makes cool collages. This fun project will keep the little ones busy. And hey, maybe it will help incentivize them to help rake the leaves too. 🙂 One can hope, right?
Monday Inspiration
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking things have to be perfect. If you do, you’ll only set yourself up for failure. Instead live by this quote – Things Don’t Need to be Perfect to be Good.
Happy Monday!
Inspirational Quote!
Do what you LOVE! What great advice for a new week. We all know there is a lot of stuff that we have to do that we don’t really love, but if the majority of our time is spent doing what we do love, it will make for a happy life.
