Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
Are you looking for a budget friendly gift for the kids on your list this Christmas? Homemade gingerbread playdough makes the perfect gift. It’s perfect for party favors, class gifts, a snowy afternoon at home, or Christmas Eve activity. There is no cooking required and it takes 10 minutes to come together. Perfect for a last minute gift.
Oftentimes the holidays are consumed with stuff. Sales, bargains, and last minute shopping fill our time and thoughts. What if we gave gifts from the homestead? Let’s start giving things that take our time and hearts instead of just our wallets. The gifts will mean so much more and won’t end up in the donation box next week.
Do you enjoy a fresh smelling home, but hate using artificial fragrances? This DIY gel air freshener is perfect for the bathroom, guest room, or even the car. With no flame, battery, or electricity required it is the perfect scent for any room!
Christmas comes with lots of shopping and long to-do lists. Remember to slow down and make memories with your kids this year. Spend a cold afternoon in the kitchen making homemade cinnamon ornaments for the grandparents. Perhaps it could become a family tradition that you can do with your children and grandchildren. Those are the moments that will matter most.
If you are looking for a fun activity to keep the kids busy then try this no-cook playdough recipe. The kids can each pick their own color and even their own scent! Then let their creativity flow while they roll, smash, and cut their creations.
