We’re having a wonderful few days with my husband off. Thankfully most of us are 100% healthy again and able to have fun! I’m grateful for so many things in my life, my husband and children of course top the list. I don’t think I could love them more. Being a mom has always been what I have wanted to do with my life and I am so grateful my husband supports me being at home taking care of our clan.
I love it when big companies give back and help amazing causes. I also love getting to take my kids for free and fun activities. So I am super excited about Macy’s Letters to Santa!
It’s super easy to do, Macy’s has cards in store right next to their Santa Mail box. Just bring a stamp, let your kids write or draw a letter and mail it! You can also use their online letter writing app, OR just write a normal letter to Santa and mail it at Macy’s!

I actually made these stars 9 years ago during our Christmas in Japan. We hadn’t been able to ship anything over, and we certainly didn’t have a tree so I found some gorgeous Japanese fat quarter squares and made these ornaments. I made about 80 of them and shipped half of them back to family in the states.
For a tree I cut out green card stock handprints, the bottom two rows are my husbands hands, then mine, then The Reader and finally topped off with Computer boy’s hand prints! We taped them to the window, added a bunch of the ornaments and voila, a bit of Christmas in Japan!

Growing up my mom bought this AMAZING gingerbread village that she had out for decoration every year, slowly candies went missing as my sisters and I snuck pieces off. I’ve always wanted to try a large scale gingerbread project!
So when Ivory homes asked if I’d participate in their contest it was a no brainer to say yes. My girls helped me decorate everything and we loved it!
