 The Elf on a Shelf is a brand new tradition for our family this Christmas.

One day, we were leaving the doctor’s office and he was carrying his baby by its hand and someone yelled out in passing, “Why isn’t your son carrying a REAL toy for boys like a truck or something?” I didn’t process what they had … Continue reading →
