As the holidays approach and we make our way through our Christmas Advent calendar, I see the kids eyes light up each night just hoping there is a “fun” card inside the envelope. Along with bible verses relating to the Christmas story, I also have some fun activities planned that I stuff in a few…
I get this yucky feeling when I pick up a toy that I know will be broken or lost in a matter of weeks and place it in my cart for a birthday or Christmas. It feels like such a waste to buy something that they might sorta like, but probably won’t love. It will…

Pretty soon, your mailbox will be flooded with Christmas cards. If you’re like me in years past, you’ll leave them on the counter for lack of a better place and then find them randomly crushed and chewed on and shoved under the couch because your toddler got to them (you thought I was going to…
I am always way too late on the Advent calendar train. I usually try to put something together on December 4th, get frustrated with the fact that I am behind and can’t backtrack, and give up and eat peppermint kisses instead. This year, I am determined to do it up and do it right; so…
