Just got our custom Christmas cards from Minted delivered today. Thank heavens they were offering a heck of a deal on 2-day shipping, because it took me forever to get the photos taken so I could design the cards. Yikes! My older boys were totally not thrilled that I made them wear Santa hats, but [...]
I don't know about you, but I am always looking for quick and easy Christmas gifts. Sometimes I need gifts that be produced in large quantities in not much time.

Which is totally bumming me out, because I'm kinda proud of it. Thankfully my husband and sons oohed and [...]
I had big plans to share a bunch of Christmas decor ideas and recipes with you this week. Instead I had two craft fails and a recipe fail. That's three fails in a row. Yikes! Either I'm having a streak of bad luck, or I've lost my touch all together. I'm sure hoping its the [...]
