I'm going to attempt to make a gingerbread house today. The kids will probably eat more of the candy they put on, but it will be fun. I think the reason I never made one before was cause it would mostly just be for me, and I would have to have to have it perfect.
Now that the kids are old enough to actually know what's going on I think it will be fun. (I say that now, remind me I said it when I'm done) It may not be a perfect gingerbread house, or look the best to the untrained eye, but to me it will be.
This may not make sense to alot of people who are not parents, but to alot of parents it will. Something doesn't have to be perfect to be perfect. I know this gingerbread house, and our overly decorated tree will be perfect. I'll post pics before the kids tear into it and devour it. Talk to y'all later :)

Serenasgifts has VERY reasonable prices, free shipping, and you get TWO pieces of jewelry for the price of one! What a great deal! If you haven't looked at her shop yet now is a great time to do so.

Who's Who- the mind and artist behind Serenasgifts
Hi!
My name is Serena and I have a store in Indianapolis that is truly my heart and joy. I opened the store about three years ago and it has changed and molded into what it is today. It is a small shop that offers other artists in the community an opportunity to sell their items. I charge 20 a month for them to put items in my store, I charge no percentage or any other fees and 100% of the money goes back to the artists and their families here locally.
Not only does this help select families but it helps our little community overall by keeping our money local. I chose to do this even though I make nothing from it in order to be a positive role model to my three female children and to other women in our area. I truly love what I do.
I design and create jewelry, all of it is one of a kind and no piece is ever duplicated. All of my designs have meanings behind them and are made so that the women who wear them can not only feel pretty but can be empowered. Some are reminders of things we need to think about, for instance Wind's Wings is a reminder that being free and responsibility come hand in hand and some women forget they can still feel free while being responsible for their families. So wearing a piece like that you can have a physical token to help you remember that freedom is not something you grow out of but something to treasure and enjoy every day regardless of age or consequence.
Personally I am a wife and mother of three girls who are 17, 13 and 13. My husband was a career Military Police Officer for the Army until he got hurt. He has served overseas and is truly my hero in every aspect. We have a dog named Orion who is incredibly spoiled and very much part of our little family.

ICK!!
Well... now I have the ick.
Rich is the one who made me sick.
My nose is all stuffy,
my eyes are all puffy,
and I feel like I'm gonna vomit.
I can't even get out of bed.
I won't even try to lift up my head!
I just want to sleep,
but it won't be too deep,
I feel like I swollowed some commet.
Hubby is really great.
He's cleaned every dirty plate!
He kept the kids fed,
He even put them to bed!
I didn't have to lift one finger!
Although the situation is dire,
He even got wood for the fire!
He took out the trash,
What a dash!
He took so the smell wouldn't linger.
Although I'm at the end of my tale,
I'm still drinking ginger ale.
Although I'm feeling better,
Outside just gets wetter.
And I think I'll stay sick a bit longer....
