Capturing the Holiday Season Thanks to Portrait Innovations

So I decided to get holiday pictures taken this year. I have been wanting to get family pictures taken for a while, but trying to work it around my husband's schedule has been almost impossible, but I wanted at least some pictures of just the kids. And I am so glad I decided to do this.


When I received the opportunity to experience Portrait Innovations first hand, I jumped at the chance. I made our appointment for 9:40 am because I knew that I needed to get my kids in there early in the morning. They both woke up on their own in great moods and I think that helped a lot. The closest Portrait Innovations is about an hour away from us which really isn't unreasonable for a quality studio.

Frost Their World with Sweetlings by Alex Brands

I received complimentary products to share this post. This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are my own.

My daughter loves to craft. She has also started wanting to learn how to cook and bake in the kitchen. I think it's because it's a very creative process. I was recently introduced to a craft by Alex Brands that captures the current decorating food trends into a fun and addicting craft. So for an early birthday present, I decided to introduce her to the world of Sweetlings.


There are so many Sweetlings characters to choose from to create. The top part is made of squeezable, whipped clay and you can customize each with stickers and other accessories. Once the moldable clay becomes dry, the characters are fun toys! Each set comes with everything you need to make one of the ten different characters which names include:

Giving the Gift of Creative Play with Schleich

Since the weather is turning colder and we are staying indoors more, I have decided to share a great rainy day activity - DIY Farm Life Sensory Bin. Sensory play enhances learning through hands-on activities that stimulate the child's senses. This is a great way for children to explore the world they live in. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine/gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
