My daughter is already home from school for winter break, and it’s freaking me out a little bit. But it was nice that I got to create some little gifts for her classmates and teacher before the rush of the holidays was fully upon us. I made two little things for the kids that your […]
How I Shop Local; Or, I Finally Get Around to a Gift List {Fayetteville Field Trip}
I will admit to not doing a whole lot of local shopping this Christmas. When buying for the Bit, it’s not always possible to find the things I want locally, and it’s just easier to put in a big order at Amazon and get it all done (and black Friday Melissa & Doug sales were […]
Christmas Ornament Swap Reveal!
