I’ve found some great solutions to those too!.

of the methods below!I finally have a solution to my no mantel/no stocking holders issue!Yeah, I could just buy some stocking holders and stick them on the fantel, but I never seem to find any I like and it doesn’t seem like very much fun to be out $100 for something that I’m not that excited about..

The best solution is so simple!Isn’t that always the way?.I just tied the stockings up with twine and staggered them on the ladder that was already there in the corner of the living room.. Super easy, super cute, super effective!.

Kennedy was somewhat concerned that Santa wouldn’t be able to reach that high.So we had a good conversation about that.. “What?

How tall do you think Santa is?

Santa’s a man, Kenna.But.. Their kids had matted hair and sweaters with dirt on them that they wore for three days anyway.

They sometimes ate less-than-balanced meals for dinner.They woke up with sand in their teeth.

They got bugs in their tent.Their daughter didn’t ask me to wipe the sticky off of our picnic table when they sat down to color.
