Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from our family to yours. May simple pleasures bring abundant joy and happiness to your life!

Candy is a sure bet when giving a gift to co-workers, neighbors and friends.  Who doesn’t love candy? Plan ahead, shop the sales, use your coupons and then be creative in the way you present your gift.

This article is for all you romantics that may be short on money, or just plain frugal.

Merry Christmas to all of our readers. Our gift to you is the gift of simplicity.

Stores continue to bombard us with sales and deals to keep spending and buying more than we need. The government is laying the guilt trip on us to spend and spend more to get the economy back on track. See past the gifts and sparkle, and revisit what is really important…your family, your friends, being loved and needed.

Love to all!

We use stockings to hang from our mantles awaiting Santa’s gifts. We use them to tuck gifts inside for friends and co-workers.  This year change it up a little and try using beautiful mittens.
