3 Women and one Baby set out to enjoy life's riches and trials
We are currently sharing one roof, one baby and loads fun. There are husbands, granddads, and uncles... but they'll have to write their own blog!
Together we are sharing Recipes, events, decor, crafts that up-cycle and recycle and lot's of fun and silly idea's.
Here is the kitchen of Gail's house. This is just the beginning of her decorating. She starts with hand cut paper snowflakes.
Just for fun here's a site that gives directions for Star Wars snow flakes:

The trick to hanging paper snowflakes is to give the hand cut beauties a quick spray of glitter hair spray and hang them by strands of tinsel.
Of all the trips we planned to take for the holidays the free, inside (as in warm) trip to Bass Pro Shops was the most fun.
Arthur had his picture taken for free. Of course Ashley bought more for the rest of the family. The Santa was beautiful, kind and patient. Both Ashley and I were convinced that he was the real thing!
A Very small line helped keep everyone's mood jolly.
Arthur decided to test the tents.
The test was for speed.
How fast can a toddler make it through 15 little tents?
Answer: Faster than a Grand Mother can catch him.
