I became a single mom weeks before Christmas a few years ago. I was left with little income, a massive mortgage to pay, and lots of fears and heartbreak. When I set up my old Christmas tree, the lights were not working. I could not afford a new tree or even new lights. I had …
My children LOVE snow globes. Three years ago, Santa brought them each a mini snow globe. It was easily one of their favorite gifts that Christmas. Unfortunately, we left one of the snow globes in the car on a cold night. It froze and broke. There were many tears when my son was told that …
These DIY Snow Globe Christmas Ornaments were only about $3.00 each to make. They were super fun to put together and only took a few minutes each. I love snow globes. They are so whimsical and nostalgic. These are a bit of a twist on the standard snow globe, they are not filled with water …
I lived in Germany for 18 months and now I love German Christmas decorations. Which is why I made this German-Ornament Christmas Tree. In December in Germany, there are Weihnachtsmarkts (Christmas Markets) in the middle of each town.

The container had clothes, newborn packets for mothers with a lot of baby supplies, rubber snakes …
Eggnog is such a festive treat. During the holiday season, I love to eat eggnog flavored treats, drink it mixed with Sprite, and see it on the shelves in the grocery stores. Each year since my son’s birth, I have gotten a McDonald’s Eggnog Shake. It has become a tradition. This year they no longer have them …
Winter is a wonderful time of year. I love to see all of the wreaths, lights, and holiday decor people have or make. Making Christmas Wreaths is something I really enjoy. Yet, because Christmas is such a busy and expensive time of year, I usually like to keep the wreaths I make simple, inexpensive, and …
I am so excited about the Christmas 2016 #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign. I joined and will be given 25 ways/ideas over the course of the next 25 days to try to be more like Jesus Christ. Each day there is a challenge to do something that Christ did in his life: feed the hungry, visit the sick, honor parents, etc. It …

Almost all of my favorite Christmas memories and traditions have to do with celebrating Christ. Here are …
