Stop Labeling Parents – What Parent Are You?

First we label our Children and then we Label ourselves. I must admit no one label can be placed on me I am a multitude of disasters and achievements. I am great at some things and terrible at others (like we all are). Hey even my body doesn’t fit into one label. The size label that fits my bottom half doesn’t fit my top half.

What type of Parent am I ?

I am helicopter parent. One who over protects my child, yet I let them use knives and stir hot pans in the kitchen. I even let them run with scissors and use a hot glue gun. I do not tolerate mess yet I allow them to be creative. I am a walking contradiction to most things in life. My label however only reads my name, thank goodness there is only one of me. But that’s the way I like it. I doubt any expert could truly Label me. (no that’s not a invitation)

This article by ScaryMommy is right on the mark though, the world should STOP labelling us.

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
