Our approach to Christmas has always been nontraditional and eclectic. So what are we doing this year? Simple Decorating Pearl usually takes on the task of sprinkling the house with nativity scenes, a camel tapestry and more. We have a wide variety of nativities, including a plastic one set up specifically for the Bible Study [...]
Reposted from December of 2009. One of the Christmas traditions our family has done for over 20 years now is reenacting the Nativity story.

Our mom is hard to shop for. She doesn’t like flowers, and she is determined to eat healthily, so a box of chocolates wouldn’t be a blessing for her. What else can we do for Mother’s Day? Breakfast in bed? No. A day shopping? No, she doesn’t enjoy shopping. A cleaning supply, such as [...]
