I’ve been looking around the web looking for things that will help me make this Holiday season just a little more special. In my community you can register to have Santa call the kids, Santa also rides around town on the top of what my son calls a “really cool fire truck engine”.

We both tend to plan our big holiday meals ahead {Read More}

Change up your program with a few Christmas desserts that don’t require any baking. An interesting holiday dessert is pretzel salad. You may be thinking about a bunch of greens with crushed pretzels sprinkled about. We {Read More}
