Seascape Gel Candles

crimped candle bowlHappy Candles creates gorgeous gel candles and shown here is “Sea Life” from their seascape theme collection. It’s like looking in an aquarium and has real sand, sea shells, star fish and a glass crab thrown in for good measure. There’s a generous 24 ounces of gel in the crimped ivy bowl and the scents offered are sea breeze, island fantasy or unscented.

Another seascape selection is “Under Water Delight”. The blue candle gel is displayed in a 6 oz. mini snifter and is meant to imitate the beach with sand, sea shells and star fish.

Happy Candles also offers jelly jars, votives, Victorian style, warmers, potpourri, glow in the dark and wedding candles.

Their gel candles last a long time and they use Penreco Gel HP which is a thick gel that enables them to make the candles highly scented.

Happy Candles also has a new line of high quality earth friendly candles made with a rich creamy soy wax and pure botanical oils in either a 6 oz. or 11 oz jar with your choice of scent.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
