Kid’s Crafts Airplane Christmas Tree Ornaments

When the kids are cooped up during the cold winter season it’s important to keep them busy. One way we like to keep the Princess busy is by regularly holding arts & crafts play dates. These “dates” don’t have to be an all day long

Perfect Holiday Gift Idea for Kids Who Love Steven Universe

Perfect Holiday Gift Idea for Kids Who Love Steven Universe

Holiday Gift Guide for 2015Steven Universe is a fantastical animated series about the adventures of a boy named Steven, the ultimate “little brother” to a team of magical guardians of humanity—the Crystal Gems. Steven doesn’t have much control over his powers, which originate from the gem in his bellybutton. But that doesn’t stop him from joining Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl on their magical adventures and somehow finding a way to save the day!

Steven Universe is an animated show that kids love to watch on the Cartoon Network.

Steven Universe Pearl Fleece Throw Blanket

Now fans of Steven Universe can keep warm with a generously sized, two-sided print fleece throw blanket. With a design on each side, this soft fleece blanket is perfect for lounging and keeping warm during the winter. The Steven Universe Fleece Throw Blanket is available in the following variations: Steven, Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst and Cookie Cat.

For our review and feature on the Holiday Gift Guide we received the Pearl design fleece blanket to check out for all of you. My 6 year old grand daughter loves to watch Steven Universe and knew immediately who this character was when she saw the fleece blanket in my home.

One of the things I like about the throw blanket is that it’s completely reversible and the design is different on both sides. In other words…it’s not a mirror image which is nice! Second, it’s incredibly soft and feels really great against your skin!

Another thing that I like about this throw blanket is that it’s generously sized! My husband is holding it up in that one photo above and as you can see…you can barely see him behind it. An adult or two kids could easily use this blanket to keep warm!

Corn bread…some people like it and others hate it. I have to admit, I wasn’t a big fan of it until I tried my husband’s corn bread recipe about 30 years ago. Ever since…I look forward to when he makes it which is typically with

Wow…what another busy week here on TheClassyChics blog! Just a reminder…the holiday gift guide runs through December 15th. You can access the gift guide from the main page on this site (top right). We invite you to do some of your holiday shopping through the sponsors who make this blog possible.

Next…this blog is going to go through some changes. You’ll slowly see them over the next several weeks. There will be a new blog design, name change to The Classy Chics (the url will stay the same for now) and the content will be changing a little bit. I want this blog to be a valuable source of information & ideas for moms, grandmoms and women in general. Yes, there will still be giveaways but not 25 of them a week! You’ll see 5-10 a week (at best) and a LOT of valuable, non-sponsored informative content in-between all of that. Think of this blog changing into the direction of an online magazine with a ton of tips, articles, recipes, cleaning tips, home decorating ideas, craft projects and more! Yes…giveaways too but the blog will NO LONGER be solely focused on reviews & giveaways. I think you will love the change!

Have a great weekend!
