Words to Bring Meaning Into Christmas Decor I love having a new alphabet printer in the house (Ryan, 5). He sees signs and phrases all over the place, including our home, and asks what the signs spell, and more importantly what they mean. Ryan posted a sign under his loft bed that spelled out, “NO [...]

Season’s Greetings I made a new wreath for my front door using an old picture frame, old ice skates and old garland. Using items from around the house, attic and garage to create new decor has been a necessity for me because I have a tight non-existent budget for projects.  I use my blow money [...]

But really, it is a day each year to connect with one another. Some of us bake, others do projects to help them get ready for Christmas (like addressing Christmas [...]

Green Week is Complete This past week I allowed myself to slow down and notice the color green, as a symbol of new life. {The change in weather, a 65 degree increase from Day 1 of Green Week, is an incredible bonus.} I was able to absorb the turning of the seasons using photography.
