Create this cozy fireplace and stocking ornament by using sticky-back foam sheets and stocking stickers!

My Momma started a tradition when we were growing up: annual Christmas ornaments for each year.  I guess there’s nothing really new there, many families have that tradition, but why not make it a family event by creating the ornament yourselves?  My son was born in 2009, so he wasn’t much help with making the

Santa’s Little Helper: My Smartphone

Your smartphone can be your best friend this holiday season!

As a Momma, I don’t think my life would be nearly as convenient or organized without my smart phone!  I use my smartphone’s GPS feature constantly, locating doctor’s offices, malls and play date addresses.  I take the majority of my sons pictures on my smartphone because it saves space and is so convenient.  I keep

What I love most about these ornaments is that they can be stored flat and they don't break!

This is an awesomely easy craft idea that is super-versatile: use these festive orbs on your Christmas tree or to decorate for a special occasion like a birthday or baby shower!  I used Origami paper and glittered card stock for this version and I’ve used them to bedeck our Christmas tree and as decorations in

Bejewel your tree with vintage glass ornaments, not too much more than buyng new!

It’s December 1st, so it’s officially UN-obnoxious to talk about Christmas!  Time to dig up the Christmas decorations, un-knot the Christmas lights and hang your stockings!   Being a Momma has undoubtedly reinvigorated my love of the “most wonderful time of the year.”  Seeing it all through Kysen’s eyes makes me feel that excitement that I
