Reading List Review: Looking Ahead to 2015

First of all, I wanted to say that I hope each of you had a very merry Christmas and that you are looking ahead with excitement to the new year! I wanted to share with you a brief review of the books I read in 2014 and what's on my list in 2015.  Keep watching for in-depth book reviews coming up in the new year. Beginning in 2014, I took some time each Sunday to read.  Now, I still had interruptions from the kids, but I still got some reading time in.  And somehow, toward the end of the year,…

Christmas Plans

We've already begun tracking Santa's trip around the world with Google's Santa Tracker app, I've been defrosting a turkey, and we are looking forward to visiting with my parents tonight, attending our church's Christmas Eve service, and then stopping by a friend's house for their annual Christmas Eve party.

Work-in-Progress Wednesday: DIY Christmas Cards for the Classroom

Welcome to another Work-in-Progress Wednesday! Today, Princess Anna and I were working on her Christmas cards for school.  I don't know about you, but I always feel guilty when the kids bring home cards from most of the other kids when we didn't send any.  So here I am making our own.  Because (I think) it's cheaper.  You just need some cardstock; some printer paper; some glue or double-sided tape; some crayons, markers, or colored pencils; and of course ink in your printer.  Unless of course you want to draw everything by hand, in which case...more power to you!  But…
