Huggies Little Snugglers are soft, breathable, comfortable, and leak proof. They have a new GentleAbsorb Liner that has tiny pillows that provide a cushiony layer of protection between your baby’s skin and draws runny mess away. The diapers also feature a wetness indicator line on the front which has always been my favorite feature. 

My family always had a Sam’s Club membership growing up and I knew that when I got married, and had kids especially, that I would want to get my own family membership. Even better, they offer a nice perk for military families: a free $15 gift card when you sign up! The savings on diapers and wipes alone makes the yearly membership worth it! Online they even offer

 free shipping on diapers and wipes or you can choose club pick up. And I just love their huge value boxes! What a savings {and less trips to the store for me}!

Another thing about Sam’s Club that’s awesome: free samples!

I love doing my kids’ handprints and footprints on salt dough ornament every year but I decided this year I wanted to try paint. There are so many cute ideas for footprint art. Just search Pinterest and you will see! I practiced on a round ornament but Stella kept scrunching up her toes so I found a flat plate was much easier. This decorated plate is from Dollar Tree and no worries if you mess up- work quickly and you can wipe it right off and try again!Here are some tips and instructions on making this Baby’s First Christmas Footprint Plate. 

Messes are fun, Mom!

Have lots of Huggies wipes on hand.
I always use wipes when we are painting.
They are great for wiping off the girls’ hands, legs, feet, etc and for wiping tables, floors, and other surfaces.

I use washable paint for most crafts with the kids but for this one I used acrylic paint so it would be more permanent on the plate. Rinse as soon as you are done with warm soapy water. 

Huggies wipes save the day!

I pour small amounts of paint on paper plates and use kid friendly foam brushes.

Let the kids in on the fun! Stella is a little too small but Ava loves to paint too.
So just for fun I let her paint my feet and I stamped them on paper for her to make art too. 

I have found the easiest way to decorate the footprint art like this Christmas tree is to use paint pens.
I like Sharpie brand oil based paint pens. Mess up? No biggie.
You can wipe it right off before it dries and try again. 

The finished product was pretty adorable and will be a beautiful display every year!
My sweet Stella’s feet will never be that small again!

Every year we make salt dough handprint and footprint ornaments
with cookie cutters and paint. I can’t wait to make this years with both my girls. 

Ava was so proud of her baby sister’s footprint art!
