Our Thoughts
The very first thing I liked about this book, was the look.
Horribly, I do judge a book by it's cover, and this cover already had me
sold and excited to read it. This book covers everything from budgets,
to family time, crafts, meals, and holidays.
The budgeting and food budget areas weren't really
applicable to my family, as I already do a budget and we eat
differently, but the crafts, decorating and gifting ideas were very
useful. I always struggle with finding new ways to celebrate the
holidays in a fun manner. I'm used to big families and doing what I did
growing up, but having moved, I have to create traditions just for my
own two little girls and husband.
We're past Thanksgiving already, but I can't wait
for next year to try out the Thanksgiving tree centerpiece. I'm also
always changing up the decor in my home, so the interchangeable pictures
on a focal frame is excellent for me! There are many more ideas I have
bookmarked but I don't want to give away all of her secrets, you'll just
have to read for yourself!
A great read, a lot of great ideas and it was very fun to read!
