This week has been full of holiday craftiness! We made graham cracker gingerbread houses, coffee filter snowflakes and ate snowflake tortillas courtesy of the instructions over at Our Homeschool Fun!
My new favorite blog is Training Olives! She’s fairly new to the blogging scene, but I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far! Be sure to check out her post on Blessing Bags.
Need a Christmas present for someone who has everything? I love the idea of donating to a good cause in someone’s name! Check out Samaritan’s Purse for some great gifts that don’t clutter our already full houses, but bless those in need instead: Samaritan’s Purse Gift Catalog (click on each gift to see their suggested donation–the honey bees are catching our eye!)
Need a little beauty in your life? Check out Grace Notes. I found this website, run by a mother and her 4 daughters, and ordered 3 pair of earrings that make me smile. On the home page she is advertising a Candy Cane Sugar Scrub that is seriously tempting me!
Looking for encouragement as a stay at home mother? I really enjoyed this post over at Large Family Mothering: Homey, Not Homely
I’m sure most of you have been to Sherry’s site, but if you have not, you are in for a real treat!
