Handmade Christmas
Four weeks until Christmas! A few months ago, I decided to make a lot of our Christmas gifts this year. The decision came about because I am tired of plastic toys and junk that accumulates in our house. I’ve done so much sorting and purging that I dare not add to the plastic fray under […]

I’m excited. I am happy. I am dreaming of our new little one and cannot wait to hold our baby in my arms and see Monte’s eyes water at the sight and sounds and smells of our newest child. I am happily crocheting a blanket and I feel it’s snuggliness and imagine wrapping up the […]
