Monday was bad for me. Good Mondays come after Sundays where I get to prep for the week. Food prep, menus and writing my weekly plan all add up to be what makes a Monday good for me. I also like to get some extra reading time in if I can. Restful reading on the weekends makes my crazy weeks a little easier.
Handmade Knit Hats and homemade Christmas gift plans
1 CommentEvery year I have a goal to make as many homemade Christmas gifts as possible. I confess that in the past few years I’ve not make ANYthing! Great plans but no results.
THIS is the year I am going to learn to knit. I’ve wanted to learn for a long time but I’m sooooo excited to make this one of my winter projects. MANY of my ongoing projects are huge and take a lot of time to finish! Rag rugs, cross stitch, quilts and scrapbooking are just a few I am working on a little at a time.
How to make a butterfly clothespin candy craft
2 CommentsFour weeks a go my second daughter moved 2 hours away to go to college. We are missing her and she is missing us too (I think) so I decided to make some care packages for her. These cute clothespin candy butterflies are going in the first box along with a few other fun items. I had so much fun making them!
5 ideas for HOW to have family time with teens and adult children
6 CommentsI really shocked at how crazy our life has been for the last month. It feels a lot like a runaway freight train. It just keeps picking up speed. I often I wish for the times when we’d eat supper together as a family and then play a game after the clean up was done. Then the kids would head to bed before 9 and I’d be snoozing by 10. I'm finding that having family time with teens and college kids is super challenging and looks nothing it did when the kids were little!
