Elf On The Shelf Ideas
Hey everyone! Sorry, I have fallen off the radar a bit lately… busy, busy getting ready for the holidays, spending time with the kiddos, and trying to become one with my new fitness regimen! Hope you are all well.
So, this post is inspired by all the fun (and often hilarious) Elf on The Shelf adventures plastering my Facebook wall since the beginning of the month. I am not going to lie, I find the Elf super duper creepy so I have not brought one home yet for my family to “enjoy” but maybe next year… haha. However, I absolutely LOVE seeing people getting totally creative with it and all the tricky business these elves get into! So, if you are the proud owner of an Elf on The Shelf and are looking for some cool ideas to blow your kids’ minds… here is a little list of links you can check out for inspiration! Enjoy!

*Just a note – I took Calla’s Mommy & Me Fitness classes when my son was an infant (back when she used to teach in Sarnia) and also did some personal training sessions with her. I think she is absolutely wonderful and would personally recommend her classes! It’s such a fantastic thing for anyone interested in getting out and enjoying a fun activity WITH baby while also taking the time indulge in a little “healthy time” for mom! These classes are actually where I met most of my “mom friends” 🙂 Babies love it, too! They totally get a kick out of staring at each other.
