But in her room – all of us felt like we were professional crafters. (Whatever that actually means!) SO – if we want one, shouldn’t we try to make one? My kids and I…

How to Remove Candle Wax from your walls, carpets, and warmers
I am sure you can all agree….candles are a joyful part of the home’s decorations and scent. BUT what happens when its accidentally knocked over by a small child or a large dog? I am convinced that wiping it up immediately is sacrilegious or something. Because no one ever tells Mom when it happens. They get the closest older sibling and hope that child can figure out how to best cover it up.

It’s almost Friday!!’ He said ‘I need to give you a heads up about something….’ Disclosure Statement:…

INSIDE: HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK EVERY YEAR! I love my children’s teachers. AND I tell them every chance I get! WHY???
