I love how the holiday season builds up to December 25. We decorate Christmas trees, listen to Christmas music, and bake holiday cookies. If you think about it, holiday preparations can be a lot of extra work. But we don't see it as work - we see it as fun! Fun times making lasting memories with our loved ones. Making time for my family is my favorite holiday tradition. Families are always changing. But traditions are what bind us together ...

Easy Christmas Appetizers: “The Grinch” Caprese Kabobs
I am always on the lookout for easy Christmas appetizers during the holiday season. Last week, one of my kids brought home "The Grinch" fruit kabobs (green grape for the head, a banana slice for the Santa hat bottom, and strawberry topped with a mini marshmallow for the top of the hat). It was really cute! And led to the inspiration for today's recipe. It's not really a "recipe" - you can pretty much figure out how to make it by looking at the ...
DIY: Holiday Glam Monogram Wreath
I have a thing for homemade Christmas wreath ideas. I love DIY wreaths and holiday decorations. Artificial green wreaths are one of my favorite kinds to work with because there are so many possibilities and it's virtually impossible to mess them up. Dress up a plain green wreath with all sorts of things from pinecones from the yard to holly berries. Keep it simple when you add a big red bow. If you want an easy way to match a holiday color ...
Cute Christmas Treats to Make: Rudolph Brownie Bites
I love Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. These Rudolph brownie bites are cute Christmas treats to make for kids. Even grown up kids will love them. It's okay if you don't have time to bake brownies from scratch - use your favorite brownie mix to speed up the process. I like to use Ghiradelli's brownie mix (the kind from Costco) - but you could use any brownie recipe you like. Even if it is from scratch. It's totally up to you and how much time you ...
Best Buy Gift Ideas for Gamers, Travelers and Music Lovers #HintingSeason
The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. One of my favorite things about Best Buy is that I can find holiday gifts for everyone on my list at one place. I hesitate to write this next part. I don't even want my kids to know I am writing about the gift idea at the very tippy-top of their wish lists. They can probably sense that I'm talking about it ...

Snowman Bento + Kids Countdown to Christmas Lunchbox Notes
This post brought to you by BIC®. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Mom Always Finds Out. My second grader loves for me to stick notes inside his lunch box. Sometimes I write a silly knock-knock joke or riddle for him to tell his friends. This December, I think it will be fun for him to count down the days to Christmas with his lunch notes. I don't pack a creative lunch for him everyday, but when I saw how easy it is to ...
Budget-Friendly Christmas Decor: Ornament Wreath Craft
Have you ever tried to figure out how to make a Christmas ornament wreath? I found a tutorial for how to make an ornament wreath last holiday season and have waited all year to make it. You use a wire coat hanger to thread the ornaments. It's fairly simple for even beginning crafters. This wreath cost me only about $8 for all materials. If you are looking to make this craft on the cheap, visit the dollar store or any store with Christmas ...
