2018 Holiday Checklist & Calendar

Another holiday season is upon us. Am I the only one who feels like I JUST put away last year’s Christmas decorations? Maybe because we just moved and I did just put Christmas Decorations in the attic?? We are going to try for a simpler Christmas this year. But even a simple Christmas will go […]

Christmas Storage: Putting Away Christmas Decor

There is one thing I store in my attic at my new house: all my Christmas Stuff. Since we only use it once a year, I like it all tucked away out of sight the rest of the year. I’m keeping our decorations out longer than usual this year since we didn’t even finish decorating […]

Aunt Julie’s Homemade Caramel

My seasonal love affair with homemade caramel started not-so-innocently. The Christmas my twins were infants (read: I was seriously sleep deprived), Matt’s Aunt Julie sent us an awesome Christmas package in the mail. The package came during the day while Matt was at work and I was home with the babies (read: struggling to figure […]

Keeping Clutter out of Christmas (A State of Mind)

Clutter is the unnecessary extra stuff, the things that don’t have a place to go, and the stuff that doesn’t fit in our home. Peace and joy abound at Christmas time, but so does clutter. Clutter can suffocate our Christmas spirit, but we can stop it! Here are a few of my tips to keeping […]

Dear Santa {Printable for Kids!}

Every year I gather my babies (my big kids will always be my babies too) around the kitchen table and have them make a letter to Santa. Every year I am surprised by what they write. It is one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I whisper to each of my older kids to notice what […]
