Isabella the Elf 2014


It's been two weeks now that our elf Isabella has been flying into our home. That silly elf has been up to some silly things so far this year. Isabella has figured out that she needs to stay in high places because there is a toddler in our home and Isabella the elf could be in danger of being grabbed.

Isabella came back the first night that the christmas decorations came out. I had a set of lights that did not work and was about to go out to the trash, until she got ahold of them and placed them on the ceiling fan, with some ornaments. I love what her sign said: I'm BACK!


The next night our crazy elf thought we should bake a cake.

This was taken several days later on our trip to Great Wolf Lodge. The days leading up to this picture, we found Isabella in the diaper bag and in our suitcase. That silly elf loves car rides.

I guess Isabella was thirsty from all that traveling, because she was trying to drink a milk shake when we arrived home.

Isabella wanted to watch my daughter sleep up close the other night.

Is this a hint from Isabella that I need to go buy some green milk?


After several weeks of being with us, Isabella needed a relaxing marshmallow bath. 

Last night I put up our first ever kitchen Christmas tree. This tree has been very popular with our toddler. My vocabulary has consisted of NO, No Don't Touch That, Put That Back, Don't Grab The Tree and so on. So Isabella decided to find a place on top of Santa's hat. 


I wonder what the silly elf has planned for tonight and for the next coming weeks. Do you do The Elf on the Shelf? What kind of mischief does your silly elf get into?

Retro Repin Party #20

The Retro Re-pin is now open. Since I picked out my favorite link, my mouth has been watering and I hope yours will be too, for the recipe for Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes.
I hope every one had a Happy Thanksgiving. I was blessed to get to spend Thanksgiving with my family and to take a small much needed family get away. It was the perfect four days away from work. On top of going out of town, I was able to get my outside Christmas decor out, Christmas tree up inside and do some Black Friday Shopping.
Have you heard about the new Pinterest Smart Feed? Our Co - Host Stephanie has done research about the new Pinterest Smart Feed. She wanted to let all of us know the following:
"You've probably noticed by now that Pinterest underwent a few big changes over the last few weeks. The biggest is that they now have a "Smart Feed" algorithm that shows Pinterest users the best (higher ranking) pins first rather than newest pins first. Basically, this means that pins with more re-pins now rank higher, so our party will help you more than ever to get more views on Pinterest! Just make sure you link up a PIN and not a post so we can boost your Pinterest rankings!" Thank you Stephanie for sharing with us. I went into my Pinterest page and made sure my site was marked as a Business website and it my website has been approved. 

*********Please take note, link up your Pinterest link and not your personal website. I wanted to feature 3 different post, but they were linked to a website and not to their Pinterest Link. Unfortunately I was unable to feature any of those 3. ************

Now on to the party!
