Ack! Here I am thinking I'm so cool with my recent scratch & sniff Valentine's Day cards find for my daughter, when I stumbled upon these way cooler customized printed Valentine's Day cards for classrooms.
Making Dad a special meal on Father's Day? Why not make it 'Dinner AND a Show!' Have your kids do a 'Chin Creature' show - which will not only keep the kids busy in planning the production, but it's sure to make Dad smile.
So my seven year old daughter comes on blathering on and on that her friend found the Christmas Pickle. She asked me why her friend cared so much about a pickle, and after a little research, I now know why!
If you're on a budget, like I am this year, you are looking for ways to save money on holiday spending. Although I am a complete web geek,I still love Christmas cards. There is something very tactile and attractive about paper cards.
According to the talking heads on TV, the recession is over. However, for the rest of us, the pinch is still painful. Perhaps the recession was a blessing in disguise, as many of us, for the first time in our lives, had to learn how to conserve and save. This Christmas, battle your way through the recession that still exists (really!) and shop smart, and make homemade gifts.
In what appears to be a tradition that originated from Bavarian roots, either in Germany, or from American-Germans, the Christmas pickle, or Christmas Gerkin is one that is popular with kids - once they learn of it!
Shopping lightly..is that a phrase? Ok, just coined it! There are so many great online companies that sell environmentally friendly, earth conscious, fair-trade gifts.
