Mommy + Me Christmas Pajamas

Sunday Beach Blog Sunday Beach BlogSunday Beach BlogSunday Beach Blog

One of my favorite holiday traditions is matching Christmas pajamas with Ford (see last year’s woody christmas pjs). Ford is currently obsessed with hippos. According to him, one lives in our attic and he & daddy check on him frequently. So when I saw The Beaufort Bonnet Company’sI Want a Hippopotamus” night night set, I had to have them! They also come with pink accents for girls.

I wasn’t quite sure how the mom style would fit my bump. I ordered my pre-pregnancy size and it luckily fit for the photos! I also ordered this loose fit lounge set. I may be pairing that top with the Hippo pants on Christmas morning.

If hippos aren’t your thing, they also carry these darling sets: express train, Rudolph red, and the 12 Days of Christmas.

Mornings at our house with no tv go MUCH smoother than ones with screen time. (Is tv a tantrum trigger for anyone else?) If I have an activity set up for Ford at his play table in the kitchen, he doesn’t even ask to watch a show. He plays intently while I prep breakfast and empty the dishwasher. (Don’t be mislead – there are plenty of mornings where he is watching tv so I can shower or regain my sanity!) I have been so inspired by the following  accounts and think you will be too!

@busytoddler – Susie shares simple and inexpensive activities for young children particularly sensory bins, dot activities, and contact paper.  Don’t miss her supply list! I recently stocked up and it was worth every penny! Once you have a stash, it’s easy to whip together a craft or activity.

@littleoneslearn – Molly shares art and sensory activities on her account for ages 0-6. I plan on doing this Turkey craft with Ford. Don’t miss her activity packs!

@youngwildandfriedman – Julie is a local Houston mom to 3 kids and the QUEEN of play-doh! She sells adorable kits with homemade play-doh and the cutest accessories all organized in a plastic box. Her monthly kit launches ALWAYS sell out within minutes. I subscribed to her 3 month seasonal box subscription for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas (pictured above).

Ford’s Favorites: Christmas Books

Sunday Beach Blog

I’m excited to expand Ford’s Christmas book collection this year. He loves to read and often sits quietly going thru his books. After Thanksgiving, I am going to switch out the books in his basket with all Christmas ones.  Momma is read for some new material!

Here are the books I’ve been collecting over the past couple weeks in anticipation of the holidays, along with some he received last year. I purchased some classics as well as seasonal ones by his favorite characters. But I must say this scratch & sniff book is my absolute favorite!
