Do you have old shirts? Like twenty-five year old shirts? We do. We tend to keep shirts around our house forever, especially thin, holey t-shirts.

Here’s something I haven’t figured out yet. Grandparents. And grandkids. I’m not a grandma and even though my mom was 40 when she became a grandma, I think I’ll wait a while yet!

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. Become a minimalist. This is a message we hear all the time, especially from The Minimalists. I love these guys and their straightforward take on simplifying for the right reasons.   

Did you ever want to win Christmas? We playfully argue about this all the time in our house. We try to determine who will give the best, most meaningful Christmas gift each year.

Christmas traditions make Christmas joyful and meaningful. We plan for them and embrace them with our whole heart. We get excited about them, and they always turn out perfectly. Or maybe not.

In the midst of this holiday season, families gather together in all manner of celebration with friends and family. We stress about whether our presents will be liked, our holiday meals will taste good, and most of all, we stress about who we are going to see.
