I can't believe that Christmas is only a week away! With Christmas only days away, many of us will be scrambling to get ready in time for the big day! While many of us will want to go all out for the holiday, the lack of time means that some of us will have to scale back in our preparations. But just because there isn't a lot of time before the big day, that doesn't mean that your home can't look nice! I have some tips on how Continue reading...

DIY Holiday Village for Christmas
WOW -- I can't believe that Christmas is nearly here! My kids and I have always wanted a holiday Christmas snow village, but all those holiday village pieces (the cute houses, etc.) are SO expensive! So, I decided that my daughters and I could make our own holiday village. My daughters and I started out by buying little unfinished wood houses at our local craft store. The houses were inexpensive. I bought spray paint for the houses that I thought would look like snow, but the spray paint just added a light glittery look to the houses. We topped out houses with cotton ball "snow" instead.

7 Christmas Advent Calendars
I just love advent calendars. Since I've created my gift box advent calendar for my kids, I've been noticing other really great advent calendars from other blogs.
