Read MoreHope comes in all sizes. Even a shoe box. I vividly remember the day my mom found out about the Samaritan's Purse ministry, Operation Christmas Child. I was seven. I remember packing dolls and toothbrushes in a shoebox to send to a little girl on the other side of the planet.
This is a tradition that has continued my whole life and to me marks the official beginning of the holiday season.
Read MoreLast week someone left a question on my YouTube channel asking if I had any ideas for teen gifts. I didn't. I don't have teenagers, and I try to avoid answering questions I don't have direct experience with.
But I took it to the Facebook group and you guys had SO many great ideas. I thought I would share them all in a handy list today.
I remember the day Christmas finally broke me. There were four places my family needed to be. We had play practice, this a local event, a parade, and a party. I felt like as soon as we got somewhere it was time to leave and then drive across town to the new event. By the time the day was over we were all cranky, exhausted and I was snapping at everyone.

Can you believe only three weeks until Christmas???? I am gleeful. Since having kids I have become a Christmas convert.
Today I wanted to share a few of our very budget-friendly decorations.
Read MoreWe've all been there. We pick out the perfect gift for our kids. We are giddy with their joy as they anxiously rip off the wrapping paper Christmas morning. We are overjoyed as they play with this prized toy they have asked for... and then two weeks later it's under the bed never to be played with again.
Don't get me wrong. I actually like toys. I don't have a problem with them. I just pushed a pile of Legos away from my desk to write this post. But, I have also come to see the value in nontoy gifts as well. So today I wanted to share a few of my favorites as well as YOUR ideas from the Facebook page.

There is still plenty of time this week to pack a shoe box and I wanted to give you a few reasons you would want to.
