Charity Starts Young
December 16, 2008
This year M is a little too young to really get into helping others, but I'm still doing it in her name. She already is very good at sharing her things, and we're going to try to encourage that whenever we can. The plan is to adopt a family or child for her to help shop for.

Greening the Holidays
December 10, 2008
When I was a kid the idea of giving green gifts was nerdy, weird, and not even really all that possible. My parents tried their best. These days there are tons of options.

Finding the Gift
December 04, 2008
While some people may see the current economy as a limit to their holiday shopping, I see it as a challenge to find the perfect gift. It would be wonderful if there was such a thing as the perfect gift, but then again there are kids who are more excited about the box the toy came in. So instead of just another list of toys, I'm giving you the list of my favorite types of gifts to fit every Read more...
Holiday Traditions in the Twin Cities
December 02, 2008
This snow this weekend has me ready for all of the regular holiday traditions. Here it is, a little over three weeks until Christmas and Hanukkah, and I finally feel in the spirit. We did some shopping this weekend, and fortunately are almost done. This will be the first year that we will really introduce M to our family traditions. That basically means that we need to figure out what they Read more...
