I have to admit it. The Elf on the Shelf and I have a love-hate relationship. I love seeing how excited my kids are every morning, trying to find the Elf and seeing what he is up to. But I hate remembering to move him every night after the kids have gone to bed, and coming up with last-minute ideas of what to do with the Elf.
So this year, I am going to get more organized! Having a planning calendar (you can download a free one below) full of fun Elf on the Shelf ideas takes a lot of stress out of finding a new place to put the Elf at night. I also included a blank calendar for you below in case you want to rearrange the silly Elf on the Shelf ideas or come up with some of your own!
