Harlow loves putting on a show. The only problem? Every time I try to get her performances on video, she starts running around the house while she’s singing and the video ends up looking like something that might give viewers a seizure.
My solution?
Place her in a box.
Here’s Harlow singing “Jingle Bells” while standing in a box, using her Micro Kickboard as a microphone. The kickboard is on wheels, which makes it even better.
Merry Christmas in June!

I’m Harlow’s #1 fan – what a cutie! The little noise she makes before she says “It’s moving!” is amazing.
My favorite moment of the 2016 Holiday was watching the joy and excitement shine through in my 21 month old daughters eyes when we turned on the Christmas tree lights! Her Ohh’s and Awe’s were so sincere and precious!
bwahahaha my little is 2.5 and was seining jingle bells this morning….. we’re in Southern California and its HOT HOT HOT right now.
Harlow : you crack me up !!!!
Oh man… her little voice kills me! This really just made my day!
The. Cutest.
So adorable!
I am regularly serenaded Jingle Bells by my 2 year old daughter. It is her car song. 🙂
Hahaha it’s moving! You go Harlow! ????
The looks she gives the scooter every time as it slowly drifts away are so perfect! That is my favorite part for sure.
Love it ????????????
Yep, this is my favourite Harlow production so far. Her bewilderment and indignation at the escaping scooter, her passionate performance, the considerable poetic license she takes with the lyrics, the impossibly cute little voice cracking on the occasional high note… this one has it all. ????
Aww….so cute Harlow!!! Love…love..love
My two year old wants to sing Happy Birthday all the time. Even as a nighttime lullaby.
Watching my boys play together and share on Christmas morning was the highlight of the year for me!
The funniest part of my Christmas was watching my 2 year old finally get to try–and spit out–all of the “big boy candy” from the stockings!
Loved watching my kids Holiday Concert the younger kids made me laugh.
Um this is *hilarious*–you go Harlow!!!
One of my favorite moments was watching my 3 YO niece squeal with delight, “It’s a box!” every time she opened a gift.
The funniest was my 18mo daughter’s reaction to Santa. She talked about him all the time and was so excited to see him. But cried and cried when we actually did — three different times.
My favorite part of Christmas was seeing my daughter (16m) playing with her cousins and seeing my in laws sooooo happy to have the entire family together.
Watching my three yr old open presents was truly exciting. She was just as enthusiastic opening new socks as she was opening her new doll house and wonderwoman doll. So much shreiking!
My favorite moment was seeing my 10 month old twins taking it all in – they loved the Christmas lights, seeing all the gifts, etc. They don’t really know what’s going on but they had fun!
My favorite part was seeing my boys’ faces when Santa arrived.
When I told my 7 year old son that not everyone gets presents for Hanukkah, he replied in horror, “they must not be religion even! Do they light the menorah or eat latkes and donuts?” Do they even get birthday presents.” ?
Favorite part has been getting together with all our cousins and relatives for the weekend!
My daughter (6 years old) told Santa she wanted underwear and a can of peas for Christmas. Of course, she went on to tell him what she really wanted, but guess what the first package opened on Christmas morning contained? Yep, peas and underwear! Gotta be careful what you wish for!
Swag bag!!!!! Pleeeeeaaaasssseee!
And rock on Harlow. Now when I bake I can’t get your “mixing” song out of my head!
One of my favorite moments was watching my one year old stroll over to eat Santa’s “leftover” cookie crumbs instead of checking out the presents first. Happy Holidays to everyone!
Love it! Merry chistmakkuhah
That swag bag looks sick!!! This momma needs some nice things.
Sneaky commentses! Have a great rest of Hanukkah!
Our funniest moment so far this holiday season would have to be when everyone would ask my newly 3 year old with a speech delay if he had been good this year..his answer is always Maybe? in his sweet little high pitched voice. So cute and so true ?
Oooops. So excited to enter I didn’t read all the directions! By far my favorite moment was at our family celebration yesterday. There are lots of adults so we draw
Names. My husband got one of his BILs and found him a used set of golf
Clubs. It was a huge moment, because as my husband said, it was really a gift for him
He knows my BIL would never buy them for himself, and my husband really wants them to have the time to spend together more than anything. That’s the best spirit of gift giving!
My funniest moment from this holiday season has been my 3 year old screaming bloody murder every time her little brother even looks in the direction of her new doll house. **eye roll** Lol.
Speaking of thinking it’s still Christmas, our 3 year old apparently thinks Christmas is every day now (partially our fault because of a few different family celebrations), but it took a great deal of convincing last night that Santa and his reindeer wouldn’t need a snack last night. He still insisted on making the snack but ate the carrot and cookie himself while staring us down like it is OUR fault Christmas is only once per year!
My kids are 4 and this was the first year they REALLY got into Christmas. My daughter insisted we sprinkle out two “flavors” of reindeer food because they might not all like the same kind, then we had to package up cookies for Santa to take back home to Mrs. Claus. But the funniest thing was when my son interrupted Santa around midnight. We heard him rustling around upstairs so we stood quietly in the kitchen waiting for him to lay down. He called for me, so I went up and he says,”mom, I see some presents under the tree, can we get up now?” After much whining and a few years I told him he needed to go to sleep so Santa could come back and finish up. “But mom I’m so excited I need to poop!” So poop he did and FINALLY by 1:30 he fell back asleep and Santa came back to finish up. In the morning he yells, “woah it’s a good thing I went back to sleep, this is WAY more presents than there were last night!”
This year my grandfather in law picked a painting of a prize pig at our annual Pollyanna. He held onto the pig painting as if his life depended on it. His son tried to trade the next Pollyanna gift for the pig painting and he threatened to disown him. He said he may be old, but he is taking the painting to the grave before he gives it up! The entire family was crying because my grandfather is 96 years old and threatening everyone because of this pig painting. It was the best moment of Christmas!
Where’s the love button? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall and watch that unfold!
The funniest part of the last few days was probably seeing my older family members try out snapchat filters. You would laugh just watching the videos of them. However, we made a few good memories too. My cousin made me a blanket just like one my grandma and cousin use to have (they both passed away recently). My uncle made cookies that tastes just like a candy my other grandma (who passed away last year) and dad always liked when I was little. And the best memory? When my little boy came running to get me to tell me Santa came. Mind you he never gets out of bed by himself and he’s been sick these last few weeks, so I thought he was sick again. I loved hearing his voice telling me all about it. (He didn’t touch his gifts, came to get his dad and mom first.)
My favorite part of Christmas was making microwave noises (buzzing followed by a ding) with my husband while our 22-month old “microwaved” felt sausages from IKEA in her new play kitchen.
My favorite holiday moment was when my son gave me a beautiful homemade book that he write and illustrated. Brought tears to my eyes and he was so proud of it.
Aw Harlow! She’s so cool. Entering for the swag bag!
My 4 year old was telling the story of the Gingerbread Man and asked everyone who they wanted to be, the 3 farmers, the wolf, the fox. She gets to the Gingerbread Man and Nana says I’ll be him and she shouts “No Nana you are the Old Woman” ???
I am going through a divorce, so this wasn’t my year to have my daughter. Therefore, my favorite part was seeing my daughter yesterday afternoon and able to open Santa gifts.
She is just so cute! Our funniest holiday moment was our 2 1/2 year old knocking our tree over!
Hi there! This is the first year my girls are excited about Christmas. One of them said “this is the best day of my life”. Gotta love kids
My favorite holiday memory from this yea was seeing my 4 year old literally drop to the floor in disbelief when she saw what Santa brought her! “Mom! He brought me what I asked him to when we saw him!!! I love it!!” She is now a firm believer in Santa and I loved seeing the joy of the holidays through her eyes.
Funniest part of Christmas this year was watching my youngest name her new toys. She comes up with the most random words to name them. She has a doll named Wet!
My favorite part of this holiday- when my 3.5 year old ran downstairs, saw her new toy kitchen and said “Santa brought me exactly what I wanted! He must love us very much”?
I loved the excitement of my 3 year old, she came running into our room yelling , Santa was here and there are presents under the tree!
The funniest moment was watching my two year try out her new scooter. She fell over constantly and just used it as a walker
My three year olds Christmas meal
blessing this year was ‘Dear Moses, You love Santa. Amen’
She said it at both grandparents so she must mean it, right?
My son is just a few months from turning three, so this was really his first Christmas that he understood what was going, making it a lot more fun than the last 2 years. That was my favorite part of the holiday!
Funniest part of my holiday so far was asking my 2 year old to decide what the rest of the family was going to get for Chanukah. We are all getting purple dresses and baby dolls (husband and baby brother included.)
Seeing my two year old open presents was amazing. It’s the first year he gets it, and the joy and wonder wss amazing.
The funniest moment from our Christmas celebrations was when my son (who will be 12 Thursday) opened a pair of his new jeans and they had patches that looked like bones. He looked at the jeans and said, “Santa’s got jokes.” It was funny because he’s so tall and skinny we joke with him he’s nothing but bones
As a new family of four (baby born in October), my favorite part of the holiday was taking a family photo in matching PJs in front of the christmas tree! Such a great memory for years to come.
Funniest moment of Christmas was watching my 3 year old meltdown because we had to sit at the table and eat dinner “FOREVER!”
I look forward to snapchats all day 🙂
Every year it’s seeing the magic of Christmas on my children’s faces. This year I decided to make my girls a gift (the oldest a mermaid blanket and the youngest a quiet book). It was so fun watching them open them and get so excited.
My favorite part has been playing with my 8 month old niece!
When my 2 1/2 year old put on our 4 month olds Santa suit!!
My favorite moment is the fact I get to eat Tex-mex! We live in Nebraska right now.
My favorite moment of this holiday season (and this year) is the birth of our rainbow baby on December 20th. We were able to be home on Christmas to celebrate as a family of 4 🙂
The funniest moment of my Christmas was watching my daughter play the recorder her aunt bought her.
The funniest holiday moment so far is when my five year old asked Santa for a unicorn with wings… a real one.
Watching the nutcracker is something we always try to do around the holidays, but last year we missed it. This year during the performance’s intermission my daughter said “Mommy this is even more magical then I remembered!” Be still my beating heart.
I love this video, so cute! The funniest thing that happened this holiday season was i was trying to use my new ninja coffee bar without reading the directions, and coffee was absolutely everywhere. A huge mess, but ya gotta laugh at yourself.
My favorite memory is being in a new place and having new friends stop by for post-Christmas celebration drinks! We didn’t go to bed until midnight!
1. She’s adorable! 2. My three year old daughter and I were having a dance party a month or so ago-and I thought it would be a fleeting-joke of sorts to teach her to “drop it like its hot.” Mind you–I don’t even know how to drop it like it’s hot, LOL. Well, for about a month it appeared to be fleeting. We never talked about (or did it) again. UNTIL Christmas dinner when my grandmother said “the stuffing is hot.” All hell broke loose. Charlotte jumped off of her chair and yelled “DROP IT LIKE IT’S HOT!” at the top of her lunges. And sure enough…she did it. Over. And over. And over again…
No one will look at stuffing the same again.
So cute!! The look every time the “microphone” moves!! ? Too funny!!
I should try putting my toddler in a box sometime- for the same reason! I go to video him and he books it to the trampoline and makes me sea sick. Funny things: my toddler told his early preschool class that I’m Santa. Thanks, buddy. And, he was in his first dance recital, dressed as an elf, was the tiniest one on stage, but sang really really loud. And did some dance moves ?
My fave part was ice skating at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago after opening presents. Super fun and before any meltdowns started for the day!!
The best holiday moment this year was when my four year old didn’t want to open his presents until his father and I got to open some of ours. So sweet!
My funniest moment so far was trying to play a family game if Pie Face and my four year and of suddenly chickening out by saying she remembered she doesn’t like whip cream anymore.
Showing my 2.5 yo the cookies that we made and left for Santa were eaten last night. The look on her face was so cute! Happy Holidays!
This is my first Christmas as a single mom. The best thing this holiday season was having a relaxing day on Christmas day. Just my kiddos and me. They are 7, 13, and, 15 and we all actually sat down together and watched a movie all the way through together! ☺
Favorite do good moment- getting up at 5am to deliver breakfast to the homeless population on Christmas Day, then teaching a donation based class at our yoga studio.
Favorite mom/parenting moment- kids finally arrive back home from their dads and get in pajamas, presents are opened, everyone is sitting on the couch, dog suddenly appears in room chewing a walnut (which dr.google informs us is potentially toxic to our pup). We don’t have a walnut tree. Our neighbors don’t have walnut trees. Both kids feign ignorance. No one knows how the walnut got in the house. Yet still, the walnut exists…
My funniest moment was actually while watching the movie Sing! with my older daughter and just. Mrs. Crawley somehow had us in stitches!!
My favorite part was watching how excited my 1.5 year old was when she got a broom and dustpan for Christmas. I’ll remind her of this when she’s older ?
My 1.5 YO doing the matrix move because she was so excited about a present. We were all dying laughing!
Definitely playing board games with my little on Christmas night.
Harlow is the cutest!
My favorite and funniest part of this holiday was watching how much my daughter enjoyed it. Sounds cheesy but I’m talking about her facial expressions and reactions! She’s not quite two but has perfected the wide eyed present opening face and the under the breath “wow” as she’s tearing paper 🙂 Alother funny thing is that I have unopened presents under my tree today because she was so spoiled by the rest of the family she has lost her enthusiasm for opening lol.
Favorite Christmas moment is when my Mom unwrapped a book my Dad found when cleaning the basement. It was a book of her father’s (my Papa’s) with handwritten notes he had made. Very special.
My sister and I both had baby boys in the last two weeks (12/13, 12/20). My favorite part was celebrating Christmas with our two new additions and watching my two-year-old be an amazing big sister and cousin to two tiny babies.
Harlow never fails to make my day ?
It’s not really funny and I can’t pick just one moment so I’ll name 2. One was the joy and surprise in my 3 1/2 year old son’s voice when he saw Santa left him presents. He said wow! It was so cute and the second was when I asked him what he was going to name the big blue imaginext dinosaur he received and he said Bobosaurs. His red Doberman Bodhi suddenly died in August and he was his best buddy so he named the dinosaur after him which was adorable. Wishing you a very happy holiday.
Watching my two little ones open their gifts!
Merry chrismukkah to you! We only celebrate Hanukkah so we’ve got six more nights of fun. Funniest moment so far was when my 5 yo came home from the school
“Holiday shop” with a present for himself instead of his family! Which school Mom volunteer felt too bad to say no to that?! (I probably would have done the same with my child’s classmates)
Funniest moment this holiday season – when my nephew opened the blanket I made for him, threw it on the ground and declared he hates blankets. I couldn’t stop laughing.
The funniest moment was playing Twister and Pie Face with my parents, sisters, husband, and kids!!! Awesome memories!
Ok so maybe I need to read the requirements better: the funniest thing that happened this holiday is when my family was playing trivia pursuit and we all kept rolling a one or a two and getting really frustrated about it! Well it took a solid twenty minutes before I took the dice and saw that there was only a one or a two (and one three) to roll! We all had a good laugh and felt pretty inadequate after that!
OMG, so cute!! The funniest part of the holiday was watching my 3 year old daughter and her class sing Christmas carols at their holiday. She was singing at the top of her lungs!
Hope your family had a great holiday, I really enjoy your posts!!
My favorite moment of this holiday was when my daughter (4) grabbed the wrapping paper and her nightgown by accident and pulled so hard she flashed all of us.
My favorite moment was getting together with my group of friends from high school, our spouses and all our collective nine kids. We are all 34 now and have stayed in touch all these years. It was so much fun to talk and laugh and have a drink while the kid do ranging from nine years old to 7 months raced around having fun becoming the next group of friends 🙂
My favorite part of xmas this year was seeing how happy my husband was to give my son drums (he’s a drummer himself). My son is only 2 but he knows how to make lots of noise!
Would love this swag bag!
My fave moment was finding a coloring book from the 50s that my grandma, mom, and their siblings had colored in, and I added a newly colored page along with my cousins and other new relatives ❤️
Favorite moment: my daughter (3 years old) got a princess outfit complete with tiara and magic wand.
Me:”let’s wish for peace on earth.”
Her:”how about ice cream?”
We had 8 kids over to decorate cookies. They completely wrecked my house and one child may have stolen a present from under our tree.
??????
I thoroughly enjoy your Instagram posts, your blog and your stories. The pictures of the kids make me happy even if I’m having a bad day. Keep doing what you’re doing. You are inspiring a lot of working moms out there! Thank you and happy holidays!
So awesome!
