What I Can’t Let Go Of:
(Just like the NPR Politics podcast on Fridays- minus the “Politics or otherwise” disclaimer.
This blog is publicly, a politics-free zone, so all musings will be “Otherwise“.)
Yesterday finally arrived!!!
Why? Because we had a run to make to the airport!
Yes!!! To pick up our daughter and our adorable granddaughter.
I am absolutely over the moon.
Our bonus son, Jon, had to go to a week of training.
So this was the perfect time for Katie to check a bunch of “firsts” off the Grand’s list:
- her first plain ride
- her first trip to the lake
- her first time meeting her Uncle Ryan (ssshhh, it’s a surprise)
- her first time meeting Grittles
- her first time without Dad every night
On the Blog This Week
The Power of Adding Gold Leaf
I shared how I used it on nutcrackers,
on Grapevine trees (HINT: it will work on wreaths too)
and on ornaments (three ways!)
New Christmas Tradition for the Kids
Three of my Blogging Besties, also with Little Grands, and I shared ideas for Grandmothering during the Holiday season.
I shared how to make a felt nativity set for the kids.No more hands-off the creche! This is the best way to engage the kiddos as they learn the reason for the season.
I plan to add new characters each year so the story grows as the kids do
A delightful new Christmas tradition.
Coming Up This Week
