Easy Thanksgiving Decorations for the Table

With the collision of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, I admit my Thanksgiving Table Decor is not always Martha Stewart quality. As my girls aged, however, they have involved themselves in the fall decorations and once I surrendered the dinner table, I let them go to work – you guys it looked amazing! They used some of our Thanksgiving decorations, fall fruits and went outside and pulled in greenery from the yard. The last minute table decor with rustic greenery, fruit, china, and crystal blended so well together.

I am encouraging you to look over these Easy Thanksgiving Decorations for the Table. Decorate ahead (if you need) and have the former dining room table set for most of November or at the last minute, look at these easy DIY Thanksgiving ideas. Surrender the table to crafty kids or duplicate and mimic what you see in these Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas. Enjoy!

Homemade Parmesan Crisps – Go Great with Salad!

September 6, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Frugal Living, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe

Parmesan Crisps

I seriously love a salad but the side of something crunchy, salty and irresistible makes it even better! You will love these Parmesan Cheese Crisps. A few suggestions I have are use good quality cheese and a splat mat to prevent sticking and burning.

Ingredients:

8 ounces good quality Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Finely grate the cheese into a bowl.
Line a large baking sheet with a non-stick pad or Parchment paper.
Add a heaping teaspoon of cheese to the pan until you have six mounds, evenly spread apart.
Lightly press the mounds out until they are flat. Push in any stray pieces that stick out.
Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the egdes are golden brown but not all the way to the center. They will look wet, and that’s ok. If you bake them until entirely brown, they will be bitter.
Remove from oven. They will begin to firm up almost immediately.
Carefully remove with a metal spatula and place on paper towels. Place another paper towel on top and gently press down to absorb the grease.
If you’d like to mold them, be sure to do it before they harden, which happens quickly. You can free hand it, or use a large wooden spoon handle to roll them up.
Once they are completely cooled and crisp, you can store them in an airtight container between layers of wax paper for up to three days. Keep them in the refrigerator.

Makes 25-30 crisps

I like to drag my Silpat (or parchment) off of the pan to speed the cooling process up and get another batch in, but it’s up to you if you want to encourage your readers to do that. The recipe works the either way, but that just makes it go quicker.

Teaching Kids Manners

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

August 29, 2021 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Crafts, Facebook, Instagram, Kids, Parenting, Pinterest, Social Media

Teaching kids manners? This list of list of manners and etiquette will raise a child with discipline and good character. Includes teaching manners activities, manners for kids games, how to write a thank you note, cell phone etiquette and more.

Teaching Kids Manners – Essential Etiquette and Practical Tips

Teaching kids manners is extremely important. When a child is well mannered, he or she knows how to behave and interact with others properly. They can make friends easier, be more successful in school and work, have better relationships with adults, and feel happier and more confident overall. It’s never too early (or too late) to start teaching your children good manners—be it on a playground during recess or sitting around the dinner table with the family.

Why is Teaching Kids Manners Important?

Teaching children good manners isn’t just about teaching a few phrases – it’s often about giving them tools for social intelligence so they’re able to communicate well throughout all aspects of their lives.

Teaching kids manners teaches them how to interact with the world around them.
Manners are about treating others well, and teaching children this will help reduce conflict with others because they’ll know how to get along better in social situations.
Manners are about having respect for others and teaching children manners can help them see the world as a place where they’re respected too.
It’s not just about showing up on time or using your words, it’s also making sure that you’re conscious of how people feel in the way you act toward them.

Essential Manners to Teach Your Kids

For a quick overview of teaching manners to kids, refer to this handy Guidelines for Good Manners chart from Thirty Handmade Days.

Learn the Magic Words

When you were a child, your parents and teachers probably taught you that some words were “magic words.” These were please, thank you, may I, and you’re welcome. These are still essential phrases every parent should teach young children today. They never go out of style!

To practice these skills for an upcoming holiday dinner or staying at a friend’s house, play this Yes Please, No Thank You Meal Manners Game from Happy Home Fairy.

Say please and thank you to service workers after receiving services or goods. This is especially important for kids to learn, because those who work with the public deal with a lot. Good manners go a long way toward making them feel appreciated.

Write Thank You Letters

No matter how old you are, writing thank-you letters is a way to show appreciation for gifts and gestures. It’s always good manners to take the time out of your day to write grateful messages back in return.

Nicole from Coffee and Carpool offers tips on writing meaningful and thoughtful thank you letters. She recommends that parents take note of gifts their children receive as well as who sent them; taking pictures of the child using the gift; writing the note on the back of the photo, and keeping the number of notes you write at once to five or fewer.

Another handy idea is using templates to help your child get their thoughts organized and on paper. Fantastic Fun and Learning offers three cute thank you note templates for Christmas gifts—one is blank, one is lined, and one has three boxes for drawing and writing.

The Suburban Mom offers a cute thank you template for teachers where young children can fill in the blanks and draw a picture of their teacher. It’s a great way for kids to show their appreciation at the end of the year.

Setting the Table

Setting the table is a skill that every kid should know how to do. It’s not difficult, and it teaches kids about organization and etiquette. The goal is to create an attractive place setting for your family mealtime.

These table setting placemats from Positively Splendid are an excellent place to start to teach kids who are just learning to set the table. Of course, tea parties, wedding receptions, and formal dinners are fancier affairs, so here’s a nifty diagram of informal and formal place settings from Simply Sprout to use for such occasions.

Be a Good Hostess – Practice with a Tea Party

Hosting a tea party is an elegant affair. You’ll have the perfect gathering with these Tea-rrific Tea Party Ideas! We’ve got ideas for everything you need to make your next garden party extra special—tea finger sandwiches, floral teacup centerpieces, and vintage books for display.

Hosting such events helps kids practice many different types of manners, including sending out personalized invitations, accepting RSVPs from guests, and mingling at gatherings. They’ll also practice proper etiquette when setting the table, eating with the correct utensils, and using good table manners.

Phone Etiquette

Kids love answering the phone, but they don’t always use their best manners when doing so. Teach your child the proper way to answer the phone from an early age. You may prefer your child give a simple “Hello” or “Good morning” or a more formal “Hello, this is Chloe. To whom am I speaking?” response. Also teach children to answer the phone promptly, preferably before the third ring.

When it comes to teens and their phones, there’s a lot more cell phone etiquette that needs to be covered. This cell phone contract from Thirty Handmade Days is an excellent place to start. Teens must agree to always answer their parents, to never bring the phone to the dinner table, to never call or text anyone after 9PM, and other manners and responsibilities. Have your tween or teen sign the contract upon getting their first phone!

Don’t Interrupt Others

Kids are full of energy and curiosity, which is why they want to chime in on conversations. However, some kids have a hard time with self-control when it comes to interrupting others. More importantly, being interrupted can be frustrating for the person who was speaking, kids and adults alike. If you find yourself getting frustrated with your child’s interruptions, here are a few tips that may help:

Teach your children polite phrases like “excuse me” and “may I please?” so that when they want people’s attention, they will politely say those phrases instead of just jumping in with an interruption.
Wait to respond to their questions. Many parents tell their children to stop interrupting, but in the next moment, they respond to the child’s interruption anyway. This just makes it more likely for your child to keep interrupting. Wait for an appropriate pause in the conversation before you turn to your child and ask what they need.
Teach “the squeeze.” Let your child know that when you are speaking to an adult, she can gently squeeze your hand to let you know she needs you. Gently squeeze her hand in acknowledgment to let her know that you’re aware she needs you, and respond to her as soon as possible.
Take turns talking. Practice this skill with your children or have them practice with each other. No one can say a word until the speaker is finished talking.

Cover Coughs, Sneezes, and Yawns

Do you find yourself really grossed out when someone coughs or sneezes into the air? You’re not alone! Kids need to learn to cover their coughs and sneezes with a tissue or with their arm if a tissue is not available. This keeps saliva and germs off hands. Of course, this will take some practice. A simple way for children to remember is with this short rhyme: “Cough or sneeze—cover it please!” Don’t forget to encourage them to cover their yawns, too, as this is the polite thing to do in the company of others.

Clean Hands Often

Keeping your hands clean is as much about manners as it is good hygiene. Kids should also be encouraged to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly. This glitter germ activity from The Simple Parent provides kids with a good visual of how germs can cling to hands without thorough washing.

Manners may seem like a small thing, but they are key to making others feel comfortable and valued. With a little bit of guidance from parents or teachers, kids can learn the importance of good manners in everyday life.

After learning every thing about good manners, host a tea party! These Tea Party ideas are quite fun! Pin to Pinterest.

Elf on the Shelf Jokes for Kids

You guys, this might be my favorite set of Elf on the Shelf printables. Three reasons. First, this printable set covers 8 days. Eight days mamas! If you are someone who does Scout Elf from December 1 to December 24, that covers 1/3 of your creative ideas. Second, this brings clean Elf humor to your home. No naughty, mischievous Elf ideas. Cute, clean fun. Third (and really not final, but I didn’t need to ramble any more), these Elf on the Shelf Ideas are really easy. Like, pull out an apple and pair with this a pineapple. Grab some mushrooms, display your joke card and your elf. Yes, we are talking easy ideas. And easy, memorable jokes. Your kids will share these at school with their friend!

As a reminder, you can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

For many of these Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial. You also can sign up for all of our Free Elf on the Shelf Printables here.
