Our elves found their way outside our house on pink mopeds. They used my pink gingerbread front door decor as the base of their scene. It looks like they added padded seats to these planter mopeds that I used on a kids’ gingerbread tablescape. The seats weren’t there when they were on this gingerbread tablescape …
The last few Christmases my kids and I have tied quilts for our home or donated them to Wrap Ukraine in Quilts charity. This is the blanket we tied last year. Today, our Elf on the Shelf siblings laid out the blanket we are planning on tying for Christmas 2025. We tie a blanket while …
This year, I had 12 adults RSVP to our annual Pulsipher Family Christmas Party that I host. I love the Twelve Days of Christmas gifting tradition. Growing up, I used to secretly deliver 12 gifts to a few widows in my neighborhood each Christmas. When I saw these plates and the table runner on My …

My daughter strung them with big white Christmas lights that we have on hand. This Christmas, 2025, I choose to decorate with a pink gingerbread theme. During the after Christmas …

Today our Elf on the Shelf siblings, Winter Mint and Pepper Mint, were in our living room on a chair with the Winnie the Pooh clan. Pepper was reading out of a Winnie the Pooh book. and Winter was as well. The other Winnie the Pooh characters were listening. I loved so many details in …
This is a fun pink gingerbread house tablescape for kids that I designed for our annual Pulsipher family Christmas party this last weekend. The table was decorated with a variety of gingerbread houses and gingerbread men—themed items. There were gingerbread house ornaments and favor boxes on the chairs.

I love decorating tablescapes for kids. Yesterday, I hosted my husband’s family of almost 40 people for our annual family Christmas party. I wanted to set up a boy’s gingerbread themed table and a girl’s gingerbread themed table. I’ll post the girl’s gingerbread tablescape soon. The activities I had for the kids after dinner were: …
Today our elf siblings are bungy jumping. They have their harnesses and ankle safety on and have taken the leap off of our living room chandelier. My four and six year old had no idea what they were doing and their older siblings were at their dad’s house this morning. So, I asked them do …
