Life as a LEO Wife

I’m so glad you’re here to party with us today on Traffic Jam Weekend! I hope you’ve had a great week so far, and that your weekend is relaxing! Before we get to this week’s features and party, I’d like to share the posts from my blog this week.

First up, is this free printable Christmas Wish List. I made this for you to print and give to friends and family, not just your kiddos. I’ll be giving a more comprehensive printable for them later. This you can use for people you’re close to, or people like you child’s teacher. It helps you get them gifts that they’ll actually use and like! There’s a section for wants, needs, things they’ll wear and read. Now that section may be for those you’re closer to. Then there’s a section for favs like: color, restaurant, store, candy, snack, drink, team, book, movie, and snack. That section is great for getting small items. Finally there’s a section for sizes. Who wants to return something because it doesn’t fit?

Next I made a tutorial for you to make just about any home/seasonal decor piece, personalized tumblers, and tons of crafts without a Cricut! Make all of the beautiful things you see on Life as a LEO Wife and Pinterest with only your printer and a pencil! Tying in with that is this post for DIY reversible faux books. You can make this with your Cricut or without. They are adorable and perfect for tiered-trays and vignettes. Save yourself a lot of work and time by having one set for two seasons or holidays!

Finally I made this adorable DIY fall centerpiece using items from Dollar Tree! I really love it. In the post I give you the step by step tutorial with pictures. I make my fancier fall decor in November for Thanksgiving. This farmhouse centerpiece fits perfectly in with my relaxed, cute early fall decor. If you love the farmhouse style you’ll love this. Heck, if you love any fall decor, you’ll love this!

Tracy chose Ham, Cheddar and Broccoli Hand Pies from Ever Ready. “What a great idea for school lunches or afterschool snacks.”

 

 

Michelle chose Use these 9 strategies to share responsibly on social media from Watercress Words. “Aletha gives some very good tips on how to recognize misinformation and how to verify the accuracy of information. These are such important skills.”

 

 

Hazlo chose When You Know What’s Important, You Find the Courage to Be Ruthless from Living Our Days. “This is how to face fear in the face everyday.”

 

 

Niki chose Felt Envelope Clutches With Ribbon Closure-The Video Tutorial from Keeping It Real. “I think these little envelopes are adorable. I love Teresa’s idea for making them larger and using them as gift envelopes. It’s reusable, it keeps it out of landfills and is like a second gift in itself!”

 

 

The post with the most views was A List of Children’s Books to Encourage Multiculturalism from our very own Being A Wordsmith.
