Last night we had our family Christmas party up at Elizabeth's house. She was super nice and made all of the kids darling pajamas. I on the other hand was not so nice and made all of my husbands siblings (and their spouses) ugly pillow cases. And they were HO-HO-HO-rrendous! ... View the Post
Poinsettia Hair Clip DIY
Today we have a simple and easy gift or craft that you can make in an afternoon and you probably have all of the supplies at home to make them!

20 Gifts that Cost Nothing to Make But Just Might Be Priceless
My husband and I are very lucky...my husband teaches school and I am a stay at home mom which means that we are both currently doing exactly what we want to do. Like I said, we are very lucky indeed. But around this time of year we notice (to put it delicately) that we aren't as well off financially as we would have been if we had chosen other career paths. And that makes it difficult to buy gifts for others. Which means year after year we make a pact with each other not to spend any money on ... View the Post
