I wasn’t exactly sure what to write about this week; I know it’s the holidays and everybody’s talking about what they think they’re getting and, oh, Mom got her THAT?!?! But I wanted that!!! (OK, maybe not everybody, but at least everybody in my house). So this week’s post could be about any number of …

K’s Corner~ How to Ruin Christmas 101
It’s late November and I have no Christmas decorations out. Can someone please explain to me why we don’t have a creepy Shelf Elf, or a cute little Christmas village set out on the mantel?

K’s Corner~ Talkin’ to Your Tween
