Happy Holidays!

First off I want to say that I have decided to integrate my personal blog with my professional blog.So I will be adding all kinds of stuff in here along with my professional postings.

I am a WAHM of 4 children and one step child and half of our income comes from me. So this year we have had much less income than previous years. I am pretty sure it is because of the economy. I am trying to take a positive approach to the lack of money and we (my children and I) made our garland for the very first time this year! I wanted to make the garland with popcorn and cranberries, but I couldn't get out of the driveway today due to an ice storm. So it had to just be popcorn. I popped the popcorn and got some string and a needle and we started stringing. It was fairly difficult at first. ( If you don't do it just right the popcorn breaks). It took a few hours and there was quite a mess on the floor, but it was fun and it looks festive. I think it was worth it and after our tree comes down we can string it on a tree outside and give a gift to our lil' birdie friends!
