I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. Time with family and friends is so precious. Our family is still celebrating but I want to share some of the best posts that are all about being in the kitchen from 2016. So when you have time and are back on the internet after all the gifts are open, enjoy the flash back before we say hello to the new year!
How YOU can get chicken breast savings
CommentI don't like decorating for Christmas plus 5 ways to stay sane in the chaos
CommentAm I alone in liking a simple decorating scheme? The chaos of glitter, lights and “stuff” everywhere makes me want to run screaming from the house. When my excitement is small I can feel a bit like a Grinch. Everyone else is thrilled with idea getting out all blingy chaos and yet I dread decorating the house for Christmas. I don't like the family friction when I voice my preference for a few simple decorations and the family wanting to hang garland from the ceiling fans in every room. (I'm so not kidding about this!)
DIY kid gifts that aren't junk
2 CommentsWhen my kids were young we always did a “homemade” gift for grandparents and often aunts and uncles. Sometimes we would choose the craft or project for our children but mostly we wanted them to pick something fun they wanted to make. We’ve decorated bags, wrote and illustrated poems, made picture frames, woven baskets and much more. Having your kids create DIY gifts makes their gift giving MUCH more meaningful.
10 care packages for college students (FREE printable)
5 CommentsWe sent our third child off to college this fall (that can’t be right can it?) She lives 2 hours away and that has been quite the BIG adjustment for our family. Our other kids lived in town and at home for college. We miss her but we are having fun making sure that she gets some great care packages as a college student.
