Annual posting

We are fortunate to have so many items in our lives and want to teach our kids to live more simply. We love the idea of home made or simple presents for the kids (e.g. art, a book, or an activity with the kids).

But, for those of you who are looking for suggestions, here are some possible options. (As always, please let me know when you have decided to choose ONE of the items so I can cross it off the list.)
