A Crafting Club
Working for almost 10 years straight, I was a bit shocked after the birth of my first son. I had always yearned to be a stay at home mom and raise my kids. However, going from talking to adults all day to little babies, was a major transition. Two kids and 4 years later, I have learned that I still need that grown-up social interaction. That's when I formed a crafting club.
A Christmas to Remember
I've idolized my grandmother for about as long as my memory serves. She has taught me how to load a mean dishwasher, place crisp sheets on a bed just right, organize a household, cook, etc. There was one Christmas, however, that she has stood out in my memories.
Simply Knitting
As I lifted a perfect loaf of bread out from the oven, I couldn't help but be appalled by my potholders. On top of being worn through, I couldn't even identify what food lined the crusty edges! At times like this, I'd usually remember to pick up a few during my weekly shopping trip....but fortunately, that habit has changed! Yearning to be more self-sufficient, I learned to knit my own potholders.

Countdown to Christmas Calendar
There are some things that you can't put a price on in life; like the light in a child's eyes during the holidays.
