Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 14 Comments

If you’re looking for Christmas gifts that are more than a toy to be enjoyed and then discarded after a few weeks, I’m right there with you. I’m so tired of spending money on junk — things that are played with a few times and then added to the ever growing pile of forgotten toys. … Read More

My mom turned 70, so we gave her a heart attack!

Posted on Saturday, August 29, 2015 22 Comments

My mom turned 70 in May. (She doesn’t look a day over 50.) Since 70 is kind of a milestone birthday, our family wanted to do something special. But, let’s face it. When a person arrives at age 70, material gifts seem much less important. So, how do you find gifts for the person who has … Read More

Defend the Family by Teaching Children about the Divine Roles of Mother and Father

Posted on Monday, July 27, 2015 12 Comments

Meaningful Easter Activities for All Ages

Posted on Friday, March 28, 2014 15 Comments

There was a time when I thought community Easter Egg hunts were the best thing about Easter for little kids. What could be better than an entire field of colored eggs–ripe for the picking? Well, my opinion changed right after they rang the bell to start the first hunt. The smiling, excited children quickly transformed … Read More

Easter Story Resurrection Eggs

Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 14 Comments

I love Easter. Not because of the bunnies and candy, but because of the chance to focus on the beautiful, true story of the life, sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Yes, the Easter Bunny comes to our house, but he isn’t the focus. We try to spend the entire month before Easter … Read More

Thankful Tree Tutorial

Posted on Friday, November 2, 2012 62 Comments

Welcome to the Thanksgiving Treats and Fall Fun Link Party!

November is here, and that means Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It’s the perfect time to share all of your delicious Thanksgiving dishes and decor, along with your fun Fall-themed treats and projects. If you have other ideas to share, I want to see them, but please save them for another week. This party is for Fall links only.

Help get us inspired!

One Creative Mommy has joined up with (host) Claiming Our Space and (co-hosts) Love and Laundry, House on the Way, Mamal Diane, Jane’s Adventures in Dinner and 4 You With Love to bring you our own Thanksgiving Treats and Fall projects! Make sure to visit each of the hosts to see what they have created for the party after you have linked up your post.

Here’s my contribution: Family Thankful Tree Tutorial and Free Printable

For the last few years, we’ve spent Thanksgiving morning writing things we’re thankful for on simple Fall shapes. This year, I decided to turn it into a month-long tradition. Instead of listing what we’re thankful for all at once, we’ll add them to our tree all month long! This tree may look complicated, but you can do it! (I’ll show you how.)
