Life Between Loads of Laundry
I thought about doing a Christmas gift themed post this week, but then every theme I came up with, I realized that some of my recent (and not as recent) posts fell into a lot of those categories. So, if you need help with some Christmas gift ideas, you might check out some of these: Kitchen Themed Christmas Gift Ideas Gift Ideas of Childrens Books Books that Would be Great to Give Someone Like Me Christmas Gift Ideas for Geeky {Read More}
Christmas is fast approaching, and that means it will be time to finish up (or start!) shopping for gifts before you know it. Wouldn’t it be great if you had an extra $250 to spend this year? I’m so excited that Many Little Blessings is participating in the Christmas Stocking Stuffer with iHomeschool Network! In order to put together the Christmas Stocking Stuffer, each participating blog has added money to the stocking stuffer, which means that two people are going {Read More}
~ 1 ~ This week, I was so excited to relaunch an ebook that I worked on a couple of years ago, Finding Educational Activities in the Most Unexpected Places: 200+ Activities for Young Children Using Common Household Objects. It has a new, nicer look and a new, nicer price. Plus, the most exciting part is that I formatted it for the Kindle and it’s now on Amazon too! If you have a young child at home, this is a {Read More}
I loved this feature last year, and am so excited to be able to share it again this year. I have a real heart for small businesses, and it thrills me to be able to be a platform for letting some shine. Supporting small businesses can be an amazing thing to do, and perfect for the next First Communion gift that you need to pick up! (Or, of course, just a little something for yourself or someone for another occasion.) {Read More}
~ 1 ~ Apparently I needed a vacation from my Disney World vacation, as I have spent all week just trying to get caught back up. I feel like things are (maybe) finally getting back to normal. I also feel like I would like to start planning our next trip to Disney World. Oh my goodness — it was just so fun! ~ 2 ~ Although it might be kind of late to say this, I have to say it {Read More}
Yesterday, we talked about some of the more traditional options for edible holiday gifts. So, I thought today I would share some less traditional options. No, this doesn’t mean that they are going to be crazy options. However, they are options that are just not what you necessarily expect in a basket of goodies for family and friends. Cupcakes Who doesn’t love cupcakes? Okay, I’m sure there are people reading right now that say, “Uh…me.” Fine. You don’t like cupcakes. {Read More}
This week, we’ve worked our way through the logistics of giving edible gifts for the holidays. From brainstorming what to make to exploring the cost to what to put our gifts in – the logistical part is done. Now, let’s focus on some actual ideas of what to make. Today, we’re going to look at some more traditional options, and I’ll share links to a few recipes that I think are great examples from each category. I hope that you’ll {Read More}
During this week, we’ve looked at how to decide what to make as edible gifts, as well as taking into consideration the cost (in both time and money). Now that we have all of those out of the way, it’s time to consider how we will package up our goodies. I can’t have the perfect answer for you, of course, on how to package up your Christmas treats, since it will have to be uniquely decided based on what you {Read More}
Yesterday, I shared some ideas for creating your list of what edible gifts you might be making this Christmas season. If you are planning on making edible gifts and you did your homework from yesterday’s post, then you might have an idea of what you’re planning to make. Now is the point where we really have to look at the list and decide if it is a good idea. The Money Aspect Every year, even though I know better, I {Read More}
Each year for the last many years, I have made a set of edible Christmas gifts to give out to people such as employees at Eric’s work for whom Eric is their boss, religious education teachers, our piano teacher, various therapists, ballet instructor, and the like. Some years, I have also made a gift basket for family members, in addition to other gifts that we might give them. Because of all this giving, I have had a lot of experience {Read More}
