Hello and Welcome!
Hi there friends! The weeks just seem to fly by, don’t they!?! Here we are at the end of another week! Christmas is already next week, can you even believe that? I don’t know about you, but I am excited to have a bit of a break and enjoy some quality time with my family! My older boys will have a break from their classes away from home, and they both just finished their dual-credit classes. If you homeschool, dual-credit through your local Jr. College is a great way to do Highschool! We also have our high schoolers do a vo-tech program. My oldest is doing graphic design and my next son is taking precision machining. This gives them a skill that they can either develop more or fall back on if they need to. So, all that to say, they will be home more, and we can hang out in the barn, play some Balderdash, Telestrations, Spot it, or Mad Libs with the little ones!
**Also, we will again take a break next week from the link party for Christmas week! See you back here the following week!**
This week on the blog I shared my new Homesteading Planner! It is now in my shop, and I am hopeful that lots of people will find it useful!

There is also a cute coordinating calender!

Gift Tags
One more thing, I have several options for Printable Christmas gift tags. Some are free in my resource library, and some are in my Shop for less than $3! So, if you need some cute tags for wrapping, you might like these! The round ones are free in my library or $2 in my shop, the middle ones have several different designs and are $2.75 in my shop. The last ones are free in my library for my subscribers.
Phew! That was a long intro! We’ve got some great features this week! A thoughtful post, a funny one, and two great DIY Holiday posts! Let’s get to the party!!
