Now that the Christmas season is on its way, my household in full swing when it comes to making our own DIY ornaments and decor. Of course, my kids love to get in on the creative fun as well, so I’ve been trying to come up with all kinds of different simple, fun projects that…

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I love hosting dinners. I will basically find any excuse to not only invite our friends and family over and cook for them, but also decorate the whole table and really make an event out of it, just because. Now I’m learning that I’ve rubbed off my love…

Like me, have you been totally intrigued lately by the idea of making your very own DIY Christmas ornaments? I asked my kids recently if they’d like to help me make something simple that we could hang on our Christmas tree and when they said yes, I asked them what they’d like to make. They…
