DIY Blanket

It seems like I know a million pregnant ladies or ladies who just had a baby. It's probably just because I am pregnant too, so I am noticing it more . And can I just be honest with you for a second? Being pregnant is a lot harder this time around than when I was pregnant with Lincoln who is 6 and Julia who is almost 5.

How to Host an Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box Packing Party

For the past few years, I have loved being able to participate in packing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child with my kids. I usually let each of them choose the items at the dollar store, we decorate a card and pack the boxes all while listening to Christmas music and drinking hot beverages. It's been a tradition of trying to teach them to care about others around the world that might not have as much as they do.
