Make A Gift for Christmas

This year, my children are going to make gifts for their teachers at school and church. They are going to use sticker foamies on a tin can and we will make cookies to fill them. There are so many great simple things to make for Christmas gifts. There is no reason to go out and buy gifts for some special people in your life that will enjoy a gift especially made for them.
One other simple idea I found was to make ornaments for gifts. Using vellum, print a picture of your child. Cut, roll gently, and slip into a glass ornament that is made for opening. The paper should unroll (I have not made this yet so I cannot guaruntee it!).
Be creative! Search for preschool crafts on the internet or visit my newest site with the Smart Moms- Family Fun Time Christmas!

Life Without The Internet

For the past few weeks, I have had a time getting on the internet to do my online hobby/job. I have either been too busy with my husband away for the week or I have thought I did not have internet. Thought, because I forgot to plug in the phone line for three days! Now, one computer needs repair and I have been too tired to stay up and use a slow laptop. So I am trying to get this in from work (shhhh) so it does not seem like I am ignoring my blog!
Life without the internet means that we have more time in the evenings, we have the ability to go to bed early, and we have time to actually do a load of wash. Pretend your internet is down for a few days (just have someone unplug the phone line) and take some time away. There will be plenty of time to surf later!
