There’s still a full week left until Christmas. Still on the hunt for that perfect gift for your man? Your brother? Your dad? Don’t worry – guys can be so hard to shop for, but I’ve found some great options. Make it easy on yourself by sticking with the basics – the more plaid, antlers, wood…
While searching for ideas on what handmade gifts I could give some friends and family members this Christmas, I saw an article on decorating notebooks in an old Family Fun magazine. And then I thought, hey – my daughter could totally help me make these (everything is cuter when a kid helps make it) and…
Christmas is in the air! Can you feel it? While I haven’t officially decorated the house yet (that will be happening this Saturday), I’m am already preparing myself for some holiday goodness to explode on my mantel. I’ve got it all mapped out in my head, so it should be a breeze (except it never…
In case you didn’t get a glimpse of our Christmas card on Facebook or Instagram, we used it to share a bit of Taylor family news.
2014 will bring another beautiful child to our family! We are very excited and still trying to wrap our heads around it. Baby #3 was discussed several times and we knew that if we were going to do it, we wanted to do it soon so that the kids were all close in age. However, the pregnancy came out of nowhere and was not exactly planned – oops!
Last week I posted about possible gift ideas for teachers. After I gathered all my ideas, I went to work creating something for Mia’s Preschool teachers. I wanted to give them something both fun and functional, and I decided to make it a “thank you” gift of sorts.
The only times I’ve ever thought about not having a real Christmas tree in the house have all been times of pregnancy or since I’ve had kids; times when it felt like the cons might outweigh the pros (which is pretty big for me, because I LOVE living Christmas trees).
As Christmas draws near, I’ve got gifts for teachers on the brain. If you’ve read this post from last June, you already know that I am notorious for forgetting to pre-plan teacher gifts and end up scrambling the night before. I promised myself that this year I would get on the ball, so I am starting now! I’ve got one week of school left before my daughter is out for Christmas, so I am really ahead of the game compared to last year.
Now that I live far from friends and family (read about our move here), it’s the first time that I’ve had to send gifts in the mail. I decided to mail some desserts and goodies to friends and family as part of their gift (because who doesn’t love to get homemade food in the mail…
It’s already time to start thinking about Christmas cards… didn’t we just do this? Because I swear I just sent mine out, like, two months ago. Somehow 2013 has flown by; but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great year! Every year when I send out my Christmas card, I like to include a little overview of the past year or reveal some exciting news for the coming year. That’s where the inspiration comes from for most of the Christmas cards that I create in my Etsy shop.
