Here are some clues about what you can find when selecting from my menus above:
When you select “Christmas,” a subcategory might take you to some thoughts about the real meaning of Christmas, instructions for making a set of handmade ornaments, or some fun Christmas games.
When you select “Easter,” a subcategory might take you to some meaningful Easter gifts, help with organizing an Easter egg hunt, or Easter movies and videos for various ages.
For each holiday I cover, you can find an article about its history. (If you don’t have a printer needed for a craft project, consider willing family members or friends who have one, or maybe office supply stores, libraries, or Fed Ex and UPS stores.)
To get started, select Holidays.
If you love helpful tips, you’ll find several categories of them. You might find a recipe, a recommendation for a great book, or a practical tip.
To begin your adventures, select Tips.
