Make an attractive Draft Stopper out of an old fleece scarf filled with rice.
Let’s face it, this time of year can be stressful when it comes to gift giving. Picking out a tangible gift that the recipient will love can be hard. I think I’m pretty good at gift giving but I want the receiver to truly enjoy it. Experience gifts, as they’re often called can be a great way to show someone you care without buying them “things”. Here are some great Clutter Free Gift Giving ideas that will make even your pickiest friends and family members happy.
I decided to make some simple and classic DIY decorations for Christmas this year. Since I had craft supplies on hand for this Mistletoe Ball I started with it.
Most of us have a lot of left over ball ornaments after decorating the Christmas tree so I thought I would share other ways I’m Decorating with Ornaments. If you don’t have extra money to spend on Christmas decorations using ornaments is an inexpensive way to bring more Christmas into your home. These pretty, shiny, colorful, glittery, reflective decorations add sparkle to your home without breaking the bank.
We travel and hike quite a bit as a family. Because of that I like to pack healthy snacks to take with us so we aren’t eating junk food the whole time. Sometimes it’s hard to find an inexpensive gluten-free trail mix so I’ve started making my own.
If you have people on your gift list who are hard to buy for, here is a simple yet creative gift they will all love. I don’t know one person who doesn’t love receiving a gift card but you have to admit it’s a pretty boring gift. I wanted to take it up a level so I came up with these Gift Card Waterless Snow Globes. I’ve created little scenes in jars for waterless snow globes so why not create a little scene with a gift card inside. The best part is that they only take a few minutes to make.
So you want to become organized, but where do you start? Good question! This post will help you make the decisions you need to start you on your way to an organized home.
It’s November, which means our hearts and minds turn to how blessed we are and how thankful we are for what we have. We seem to notice our big blessings in life most of the time, but now is a great time to notice the small things we tend to overlook. We tried to make it a point of teaching our kids gratitude throughout the year but we like to emphasize it even more this time of year. These Gratitude Activities for Kids are a great way to help your kids and grandkids recognize and be grateful for what they have. It’s also a great way to talk about how to help others and become a blessing in someone else’s life.
The holiday season is upon us. It’s easy to get caught up shopping and buying gifts for everyone we know and blowing our budget, so we need to be prepared by Planning Financially for the Holidays.
