Helpful Elf on the Shelf Tips for Busy Moms

Since setting up the elf on the shelf and moving him or her every night is a holiday tradition, it just makes sense that I pass along some tips to keep you sane.

Relax and have fun – don’t stress about the elf or expect yourself to come up with wildly creative elf idea like you see on Pinterest. Your kids don’t care.
If you forget to move it, roll with it. Say that the elf overslept or that he was needing a rest day.
Search online for ideas. Who says that you have to come up with ideas on all your own? Check out our list with elf on the shelf ideas for tired moms.

Elf rides the ceiling fan. — Your elf can go for a ride on the ceiling fan. (The elf arms have bendable wire that makes this work.)

As you can see, there are ways to relax and have just as much fun as the kids. If all else fails, ask your family and friends for some tips. If they’re part of the elf crew, they’ll have some new ideas to toss your way. Our older kids get into the fun and we put them in charge of moving the elf on different nights, too.
