I’m Vanessa, a 38 year old stay at home mum of two children, a daughter who is nearly nine and a son who is five. I’m a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a knitter, a muser, a camper, a collector, an admirer, who is currently in the throes of finding somewhere else to…
Let’s face it…most of you are not on the computer today…and I’m mentally checked out. So, I’ll see you on Monday! 2011…yikes. Remember Y2K?? That was funny.

This is Mariel’s sister-in-law/beard man’s sister back for another post. I don’t know how Mariel continues to come up with such great posts! I’m constantly racking my brain and trying to think of fun ideas to add to this dynamic blog, but I rarely come up with any. However, I recently had a brainstorm of…
When it comes to New Year’s Eve…I’m usually super lame. Lame, as in go-to-sleep-at-10 pm-and-do-nothing-remotely-festive-lame.

Secret Adverb One person is chosen to be “it”…

I am Wendy over at Recipe Cut Outs. I love my family first and for them I love to cook, bake, sew, and create. I am learning how to include my children in the process of the things I love. I just did my own self created blog challenge of making 30 Days of Pie….
Where has the month gone?? I still had so many ideas to share! Ugh. Well, I’m throwing in this weekend post to give you a little recap of some favorite Christmas tradition posts…in case you missed out the first time around and need some quick ideas. Here’s the links: Christmas Eve Traditions, At My House!…
Coffee Filter Trees are a simple holiday DIY Christmas decor idea you can do with the kids. With a little pinning and trimming, you can transform the filters into festive centerpieces!
Normally, I don’t do so many posts myself…but, I KNOW you’re still itching for Christmas shopping ideas and we’re running out of time…especially if you order everything online, like me!
