Festive Deer Coloring page

Wouldn't it be fun if deer decorated their antlers the way we decorate our homes for the Holidays. Meet Cedric the very festive deer.  He's not a reindeer or he would be helping Santa up at the North pole. So he shows his support in other ways. 

Cedric would love for you to add some color to his antler decor and help him celebrate this merry time of year. Download your copy of our very festive deer below. 

Happy Holidays!

Santa Kitty Gift Wrap

The Holidays are quickly approaching and I'd love to say I have all my Christmas shopping done but I don't.  I've barely started.  I have the next best thing though, the wrapping paper. Hey, you have to start somewhere. Continuing on with our Santa Kitty theme for our kitty's first Christmas I designed some wrapping paper, bags and gift tags for my Zazzle shop.    

Of course Charlotte had to inspect and give her sniff of approval. 

Holiday Chalkboard gift tags

We have so many gifts going out right now from our family and from my kids that I created a simple holiday tag with an editable name on it.  A quick and easy way to add a personal touch to your holiday packages. Happy Holidays!!!

Rothenberg Christmas Market

When my bloggy friend Rebecca from Living Wright at Home, asked  me to go to the Rothenberg Christmas market with her friend Natalie, there was no doubt in my mind what to do.  If I had to pick one Christmas market in Germany it would be Rothenberg ob der Tauber.  It's like the medieval wall that surrounds the village has kept out the passage of time.  The moment you walk through it's gates the hustle and bustle of today's busy world just melts away. Cobblestone streets and horse drawn carriages make this town the perfect place for one of Germany's oldest Christmas markets. 

Our family Christmas card mini book

Yay I finally finished our family Christmas card.  Every year I struggle with how to get at least one good shot of each of our four kids onto one card.  So this year I decided to go with a photo mini book.  What better way to show what we've been doing all year.  

Trier Christmas Market

We recently paid a visit to the Trier Christmas market and had a wonderful time.  Trier is a beautiful city rich with history and gorgeous architecture, but what German city isn't. The Christmas market is a good sized one and is only 45 minutes from where we live so it's a must on my Christmas list.

Gingerbread houses

It wouldn't be Christmas without Gingerbread houses.  Every year for the last three years we have decorated Gingerbread houses.  I love it the kids love it and it makes lasting memories for the holiday season.  This year I decided to forgo the premade kits and make them myself.  It was a lot of work and spanned out over three days, but it was so worth it.
