Make Your Bags

As I've been thinking about green living, one of the most practical things is toting reusable bags instead of the plastic ones at the store. If you're not a fan of the standard bags you find for sale, you can always make your own. (Don't forget Africa Bags and check out my blog about them).

I found a few websites with great patterns and ideas to make your own reusable bags! Check out:

  1. I could not agree more! It is time to ditch plastic bags, and start bringing in our own reusables. So much better for this beautiful planet God created. I have asked my son to remind me (it's his job), and if I forget to bring them in...I walk back out to my car. After doing that a few times, I haven't forgotten since!

Frisco's Wassail Days

Friends, 
I'm so excited to bring you the details of this family event in Frisco, Colorado! Nothing says Christmas like getting up into the beautiful Rocky Mountains and celebrating the holidays nestled in a cozy town with your closest friends and family. Fresh snow. Lighted trees. Sleigh rides. Visits with Santa.
And it all starts with the Santa Dash for Cash - a 1K "fun run" in which all participants must wear Santa gear! The run is TOMORROW and when you register at www.wassaildays.com you will receive a Frisco Santa shirt, a Santa hat and at the end of the run you will receive a stocking full of goodies including Wassail Cash (the official currency of Wassail Days that can be used at local restaurants and retailers) and a FREE pass for a ½ hour of tubing at the Frisco Adventure Park Tubing Hill.

Psalm 16

This Psalm has been blessing me. I pray it will bless you too. Thanks to BibleGateway.com for making it so easy to share these beautiful words with you.16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,

their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.

because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my

C'est la Vie: The Men In Our Lives Part 3

Today's suggestions really hit two sides of the same coin. I was thinking about gifts for the "do it yourself" dad. If you're married to him (or lived with a dad like this growing up), you know what I mean. He loves a project whether it's in the house, out in the yard, or in the garage (ie. cars).

But that got me thinking, sometimes there is nothing better than a "do it yourself" gift. Something straight from the heart and made by little, loving hands. So, here are two lists: one for your man to "do" and the other for you and the kids to make. I think you'll find something that's a perfect fit!

Kid Made:
A photo bookmark (says "mother's day", but dads who are bookworms will love this too)A miniature golf course (indoor or outdoor!)A monogram painted hammerKid-made brunch just for dad - try this Hamburger HashTotes, Kits and Sweets at Family Fun - cool stuff!Anything with hand-prints and poems written by the kids (Am I righ…
