Finally, everything is put away from Christmas. I know, it should have been done a week ago. My daughter came home from school today and said “Mom everything is so simple but I like it”. She is right. I like when all the Christmas stuff is away. I don’t like putting away. But I like [...]

Another Handmade Gift

I already shared about the beautiful gift my husband made for me here. During the week leading up to Christmas, Blondie kept telling me how excited she was to give me my Christmas present that her and Dad made for me. From what Dad tells, it was all her idea and he just helped [...]
