I know that I am never as grateful […] Read more…
DIY Advent Candles
A few years ago I decided I was done with trying to get tapers to not fall over in my Advent wreath. Besides which, they are impossible to find, especially last minute (ahem!).

Bible Detective {Book Review}
My daughter is in LOVE with search and find books. Finding Goldbug in Richard Scarry books? Yep. Where’s Waldo? I’m pretty sure we have them all, including 2 different editions of the original.
