Best Playgrounds, Anthropologie Holiday Craft Ideas & Shopping in Madewell


Play Dates at Playgrounds


Take a look at my favorite playgrounds in Marin and other moms suggestions for the best parks in the Bay Area on the Circle of Moms website:



Shopping


While looking around the sales on Black Friday and over the weekend I found some cute things in Madewell and inspirational holiday items from Anthropologie in Corte Madera The Village.

I love the vintage style jewelry and accessories in Madewell; which is becoming my favorite store.

Black and white stripe bangle:
Madewell Bangle $7.00


Looking glass charm that can be attached to a delicate gold chain with three adjustable loops
Madewell Charm $12.00

These items are on my wish list:

Brown buttery soft leather bag:
Madewell Caravan bag $178.00



Brown leather biker boots:
Madewell Boots $248.00



Holiday Craft Ideas


There are some great crafts and holiday decorations in Anthropologie, I thought these snow globes made out of upside down mason jars filled with salt and little silver trees inside were a great idea to make yourself:

Anthropologie Mason jars $28 - 38.00


These sparkly birds with feather tails are beautiful:

Anthropologie Ornament $22.00

I managed to find a similar one in Michaels, along with the gold garland and glitter bow for my mantelpiece:




You could also go on a nature walk with your little one and collect pinecones, acorns and feathers to paint and make your own little creatures like this one from Anthropologie:

Anthropologie Hedgehog $12.00


Decorate big golden leaves with glitter and turn them into bunting or simply painting pinecones with gold or silver paint and place them on the mantelpiece, shelves or hang from fishing wire. They all make inexpensive holiday decorations and fun craft projects to do on rainy days!

Sledding at Winter Wonderland & The Christmas House

If tearing around the stores on Black Friday with your kids isn’t your idea of fun then take them for some fun in the snow with sledding in San Rafael instead.

Also get in the festive mood with a trip around the Christmas House in West End Nursery where you can pick up this year’s tree decoration from 50 different themed trees!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Looking for a family activity to do the day after Thanksgiving? Head to San Rafael for the Downtown Parade of Lights & Winter Wonderland where kids can go sledding on real snow! In its 32nd year the event features a holiday marketplace with arts and craft, live entertainment, children’s activities, sledding and one of the largest Holiday Parade in the Bay Area.

It starts at noon with sledding until 4.30 pm and 6.00 pm – 8.00 pm, and the Parade at 5.30 pm. Fun in the snow also continues on Saturday 9.00 am – noon.

This year I will be taking my baby daughter to get her first Christmas ornament to hang on our tree from the Christmas House at West End Nursery in San Rafael. 


You can take the kids to see over 50 different themed trees in the various rooms of the nursery’s Victorian house full of decorative sparkle that will put a smile on their face and get you into the festive cheer!
