The White Winter Bed & Bath Refresh

Schedule and Chore Board
Well, it has finally happened. My eldest daughter asked me to create a chore board that is “pre-teen appropriate”…aka she is ready for a big girl chore system, no more cute printable sheets with colorful dots filled in like the ones we currently use. *Sigh* my baby is growing up! Seriously, anyone know how to stop them […]

Christmas Eve Dinner Table
In many cultures the Christmas celebration starts on the Eve of Christmas with a large feast, the opening of a single gift, the lighting of candles, and sometimes even the singing of carols.
