A Classic Housewife in a Modern World YAY! I finally got my feeds fixed for good. It won't be holding them all hostage and then suddenly posting three or four to the fan page anymore. Phew! (And thanks to Hubby for finding the WP plugin so that I don't have to mix the feeds third party anymore. Yay for hubbies!)

The most fun part about the holidays as far as my kids are concerned is the crafts, the decorating and the activities. Well, unless there are presents. But otherwise it the crafts and fun stuff. To be honest, I quite like it, too.And I always like finding new crafts and ideas online to keep thin...
