I beat the winter blues by doing what I love… baking and entering giveaways! Also i try not to stay in the house for more then a few days at a time

I agree about moving overseas – you learn what you really need. We moved a couple of times back and forth, I learned my lesson that way
Loved Nini’s post!
I like the article by Tsh, too. Thanks!
The diy helping tower is so cute! If I hadn’t found one at a thrift store for $10 I’d be begging my husband to make this one.
Oh, thank you for linking to Tsh’s post!! :)

Thanks for the shout out Stephanie! You’re the best. Loved Nini’s “One Person at a Time,” am evaluating if we would move any of our “stuff” 6000 miles, and Hurrah for soup! Crockpots rock.
Ah..thanks for the nod. These kiddos of mine definitely keep me on my toes and continue to surprise me…just when I think I can’t take it anymore! I LOVE Nasa’s photos…I am always amazed at how perfectly this universe is orchestrated!
Thanks for pointing out the Learning Tower. I’ve been wanting one of those forever, but didn’t want to spend the money. I know my hubby or even my dad could make that! Thank you!! Definitely would make an excellent birthday gift for one of my girls!
Stephanie – thanks for the shout out! :) Hopefully you’re not experiencing any Winter Blues down south. ;)
