Valentine Mailboxes
I love making these little holidays special for the girls. This year, I found the cutest little mailboxes at Target, which are being sold as a Valentine item, but they could be for just about any time! They were just so adorable. First, Chloe bought one for Willow. She brought it home and decorated it […]
God’s Love Heart Banner
This year at church, I was in charge of making the Valentine craft with the kids. I like for these crafts to be something the parents actually want to put out each year to decorate with or at least don’t want to toss in the garbage can. I found a couple different ideas and put […]
Resolutions
Resolutions have always been kind of funny to me. I used to avoid them altogether because usually people don’t stick with them. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve decided that other people’s actions should not determine mine (as much as can be helped with three little ladies who sometimes seem to run the day). Last […]
Post-Christmas Reminiscing
Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope you had a beautiful day with your family, celebrating the birth of our Savior–and of course, sharing in some traditions made wonderful just by being with those you love. We had a fantastic day! As each child grows the fun of Christmas gets greater.
Wrapping Gifts
We are just about finished readying our gifts! The girls have been busily making presents for each other. Chloe wrote Santa another letter, just to make sure he doesn’t forget her. She also has a gift ready for him. Yesterday, I grabbed all of our wrapping supplies and got the girls ready to wrap presents. […]
Cinnamon Ornaments
I love cinnamon ornaments! They are so much fun and they smell so yummy! I remember making them in 4th grade and for some reason I have such a great memory from doing that with my class. I’ve thought about it here and there since, and this year I found the recipe. Needless to say, […]
Laundry Detergent Gifts in a Jar
There are the people you buy gifts for each year–your family members usually and sometimes you throw in a close friend or two. And then there are those special people you would love to give a gift to, but doing so would put you in the poor house. For us this category is filled with […]

Dear Santa,
With urgency, Chloe decided she must write a letter to Santa. So, she got started right away. It happened right after Willow broke one of my hand blown glass ornaments, which I didn’t really care much about. But Chloe wanted to make it right. So, she wrote to Santa and asked him to send another […]
All aglow
Is your home aglow? Ours is! Yesterday we spent the day decorating and making our home festive for the Christmas season. We hung a mistletoe ball, which Chloe calls “kissletoe.” Very appropriate I’d say. Our house has been graced by the presence our Christmas tree, which this year has rainbow lights–chosen by Willow. Memories in […]
