Want to know why Target is every Mom’s favorite store? Because she can get diapers and coffee and lipstick and deodorant and a birthday present for the party you forgot was this weekend and toilet paper and a necklace to wear to the holiday party and a bottle of wine ALL IN THE SAME PLACE.
Want to know why we think Moms love the Salty Mamas? Same. Exact. Concept. Crafts. Humor. Tips and Hacks. ALL IN THE SAME PLACE.
SO, in the spirit of Target and all things Holiday – here’s our one stop shop for everything you need from your Mom Squad to survive the holidays. (Don’t have time to read it all now? Don’t forget to bookmark for later!)
From crafts to gift ideas to something to read while curled up on the couch drinking a hot chocolate (maybe with a dash of Bailey’s) after everyone’s gone to sleep, we’ve got something for you!
Holiday Crafts
Let’s just get the messy stuff out of the way. Holidays mean crafts. We don’t make the rules. The good news is, lots of crafts make great quick gifts for big family gatherings! And crafts keep little hands busy so they’re not messing up your decorations – at least for a few minutes.
Here are some of our favorite holiday crafts we know your kids will love:
- Hot Chocolate Winter Sensory Bin for Preschoolers
- Christmas Tree Print Making for Kids (Featuring Bubble Wrap!)
- The Cutest Handmade Ornaments Kids Can Make
- Snowflake Salt Painting- A Winter Themed Project You’ll LOVE
- Low-Prep, High Fun-Holiday Playdough Activities for Toddlers
- Puffy Paint Snowman Art
Holiday Humor
Perhaps there is no greater “if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry” season than the holidays. In laws are in town. Schedules are impossibly hectic. And you’re almost guaranteed some sort of theme day at school that you won’t find out about until the last minute. Also, it’s cold.
