Day #5 of Holiday Free Family Fun with Tonia Sanders

Posted by ruckusholly on December 17th, 2011

Tonia SandersWe continue  12 Days of Holiday Free Family Fun with our friends at ZiggityZoom.  Our fifth guest blogger is Tonia Sanders of TheChattyMomma.com.  Tonia is a wife and stay-at-home mom to two little girls. She enjoys social media and write as The Chatty Momma on her blog, Twitter, and Facebook..  You can also follow her over on Twitter at @TheChattyMomma.

When asked how she keeps her kids busy thinking about giving back during the holidays, Tonia said:

A few ideas that I have to do with your kids during the holidays are:

1. Building a gingerbread house
2. Taking evening trips around the local area to view Christmas lights
3. Taking time to stop at a home for seniors and drop off puzzles, CDs, and goodies all wrapped up.
4. Christmas caroling in the neighborhood
5. Baking

One activity that me and my girls are enjoying is making delicious treats. I love using opportunities to teach my girls how to make delicious snacks and we also create video how-to’s for kids on YouTube in the process. Recently we made Candy Cane Oreo Parfaits that we shared on my blog, The Chatty Momma. 

It’s so much fun to make snacks with my girls, and this months treats will all be holiday themed!

This past weekend, our friend Tonia Sanders from The Chatty Momma hosted a MY LITTLE PONY app party. She invited fellow bloggers, moms and pony fans of all ages. They played Pin the Rainbow on the Pony, Pass the Pony, and like every great party, there was dancing. And cake.  The bloggers included Monica Sakala from WiredMomma.com, Eva Smith from SocaMom.com, Thien-Kim Lam from ImNotTheNanny.com and Kim Baqqui from ConfessionsofaHomeSchoolingMom.com.

Ruckus happily sponsored the party and we’ve loved the positive feedback we’ve received from everyone’s readers, tweeters and supporters. Everyone at the party received a certificate for more Ruckus apps and each child received a Twilight Sparkle pony gift to take home.

Great photos of the event have been posted to Tonia’s flickr stream.
