Funtstic Friday #262

How has 2020 started out for you?

We has a high school showcase soccer tournament we drove out to Dallas for on Jan1.

The girls did awesome! So pumped for this season!

Soccer will take up a lot of our time this winter.

But if you have "littles" at home and are looking for a fun craft activity,

you can't go wrong with play dough for hours of fun!

Kari Lyn has the simple recipe and this cute bag to go with it.
Keeps the kids busy while you work on cleaning out and organizing for the new year.



Use our printable cleaning/organizing checklist  and tips to get you going!
You got this!

Funtstic Friday #261

Welcome 2020!

I can already tell this will be a good year!

With the chilly weather, 

it's time for soup! 

 

Lois has the recipe for Bacon Corn chowder that looks delish!

Or try our Creamy Ham and Potato.

You can find all our soup recipes {here}.

Grab a bowl and consider something you want to

 do, learn, change, travel to, accomplish.....

 for the new year.

One of my friends recently shared this on FB. 

"Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction

ends up being the biggest step of your life.

Tip toe if you must,

but take the step."

Big resolutions never work for me.

So I'm just going to try one small step each week or month,

either physically, intellectually, social or spiritual

to grow as an individual this year. 

What are your goals?

Funtastic Friday #260

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and

that 2020 will be one of the happiest new years! 

Do you ever make a wish for the new year? 

For yourself or someone else?

Maria explains the history behind making a wish and exchanging well wishes

as a part of New Year celebrations. 

I've never heard of this tradition but love the sentiment.

How nice would it be to have a jar of well wishes from your family and friends,

 just for you for the new year?!

She has some cute printables too for your wishes.

I just bought some clearenced tinsel garland 

to make a 2020 for this year's New Year's festivities. 

Learn how to make your own {here}

Now for the last link party of 2019...

Looking forward to all your DIY inspiration in 2020 too!

Funtastic Friday #259

I'm battling a cold,

but that won't keep me down! No time for it.

Y'all had so many great ideas from last week's party!

Hard to choose just one...

I've always thought Christmas crackers would be a fun tradition for Christmas Eve.

Jaime has all the details on how to make your own.

What traditions do you have?

We always make cinnamon rolls

and drop them off at friends with a carol sung.

On Christmas Eve we have a big dinner,

read the Christmas story in the Bible,

get a new pair of PJs, 

and a special gift that is more Christ centered, 

share our thoughts on the "reason for the season",

set out cookies for Santa

and just sit with the lights low, tree lights glowing 

and doze off watching a Christmas music special

 as we wait for kids to fall asleep.

Merry Christmas!

I'm almost done with all the Christmas shopping!!

I'm just waiting for one more thing to go on sale Saturday.

I've got to mail a few packages and wrap the last presents.

We decided to do a New Years card this year, 

so I'm scheduling a photo shoot for after Christmas.

I'm trying to get everything bought, prepped, delivered and cleaned

before late next week when one of our kids returns from an 18 month church mission in Brazil.

We are beyond excited!

We'll have more relatives in town for the Christmas holiday.

We're writing up a menu for Christmas Eve.

Lois' festive puff pastry appetizer is so fun!

I'm going to have to make this for our crowd. 

Here are 25 more ideas to make your Christmas festive.

Let's get to this week's party....
