One of my duties as a #NicheParent14 Ambassador was to co-host a meet up. Last month we organized a fun blogger event for #NicheParent14 with Elf on the Shelf! The meet up was at Dylan's Candy Store in NYC and it was the perfect venue! 

We adopted "Elfie" two Christmas' ago and it's been a special Christmas tradition for us.  Christa Pitts - the daughter of Carol Aebersold and sister to Chanda Bell, co-authors of Elf on the Shelf - attended our #NicheParent14 meet up. Christa talked about how the Elf on the Shelf came to be published - even after several rejections - and it was inspiring to hear. As a writer, I appreciated hearing about the determination to see their vision on the bookshelves.

Since Elf on the Shelf helped Norrin understand Christmas magic, I knew Elf on the Shelf: A Birthday Tradition would be fun for him too! And I think it would be helpful for many kids with autism. 

The Elf on the Shelf®: A Birthday Tradition tells the little-known story of how Santa’s finest helpers celebrate birthdays at the North Pole—and how you can invite your scout elf to share that tradition with YOU! Each kit includes special instructions for inviting your scout elf for a birthday visit, and a festive birthday outfit for your scout elf to slip into before the big day! Also available—the Birthday Countdown & Game and the Birthday Chair Decoration Kit.
