As Christmas approaches, I wonder what my kids think the season is about. I want to have the most emotionally healthy, excited children when it comes to Christmas. They deserve so much happiness. I never want to take any from them or destroy their wonderment for the season.
Everywhere you look when you’re out shopping, you see a jolly, happy man representing the joy that comes from a happy child. He’s always beaming happily.
But when you go to church, you see manger scenes with a mother doting on her baby.
Some moms I know tell their kids that Santa isn’t real; that Jesus is the reason we celebrate, and that their parents buy them presents. I understand the need to not...

Greeting Card Upcycle :: Make Gift Tags
I am notorious for not having a tag on a gift. I usually scramble around in the closet picking out a gift bag and coordinating (non-wrinkled) tissue to stuff in the gift bag, but then I'm left without a tag. For close family it's usually not an issue, I'll just shout out "it's from me, I didn't have a tag," but now that my kids are being invited to parties I need to do better. One day I'll get around to making those cute personalized stickers or square business cards as tags, but today is not that day.
