Chances are, you and your family received at least a few gifts over the past few weeks. Grandparents, friends, and other family members have blessed you with something. How awesome is that?! Now is the time to teach your children to write thank you notes. I used to put off writing thank you notes. (Okay, sometimes I still do...) I could never think of what to say, and I would either end up not using all of the space on the little card, or writing too much and having to overflow onto the … [Read more...]

How I Organize Pictures And Announcements From Other People
I love getting mail. Whether it's something I've ordered online, a letter from a friend or family member, or even something as simple as a magazine, I like to see what's new in the mailbox.
