Ok, so I keep getting all of these emails from people….fill in the blanks about what you do for Christmas….send it back to me…..send it to fifty other people you know.

I don’t have the energy to think of anything witty to say ;o…..so here’s your links for the week:

MckMama’s thoughts on marriage are AWESOME!  I agree one hundred percent.

These thoughts on kids learning are great; and I think I might need one of those chalkboard walls.

Here is a huge list of free gift tags that you can print from your computer…I love the vintage ones.

I thought it would be fun to help the girls make paper snowflakes today, so we followed this video.  Maybe I’m just dumb, but I had no idea how hard cutting snowflakes would be for small children….I ended up doing most of it and just let them stick them up in the window.  I think we’ll try this project tomorrow instead; I think it might be more at their level.

Finally, because these always make me laugh, check out these awesome dancing elves….

Be sure to leave a comment!!!
