Collect some toys and clothes of your own and give to someone in need!

I come from a family of “collectors” and have the habit of “collecting” more than I need. I am trying the less is more approach. It is hard to change habits after they are set but it can be done.

If you are a “collector” and have more than you need, would like to get rid of some stuff (or alot) and would like advice or helpful hints, The-Organizer-Lady is a great place to start or restart.

Make and hang edible gifts for the birds

…and squirrels!

We are delighted to have a variety of birds visit our backyard throughout the winter. So far we have seen cardinals, chickadees, blue jays, variety of woodpeckers, hawks, finches, sparrows and morning doves!

My youngest fell madly in love with the Sugar Plum Fairies!

Oh, my!
