To help pass the time on this icy day, Thade is busy writing handmade Valentine’s for the Preschool Valentine’s party next month. I wonder if he will grow tired of writing Thade so many times…

For the Valentine’s I used scrap-booking paper, a cookie cutter, and decorative scissors. I picked out a cute Valentine’s themed rubber stamp and some heart stickers to complete the Valentines. It is a nice (and quiet) project for a cold and snowy day.

Happy New Year to All!

I hope that everyone had a safe and very Happy New Year!

I don’t know about you, but I’m super happy to welcome 2009!

It is almost 2009 and I am ready for a brand new year! I always hope that the new year will bring wonderful new changes, and this year I just hope that everything will be better soon.

I’ve got my 10 Resolutions to kick off the new year:

1. I plan to write 500 posts for Nicostuff (I’d like to do 1000, but 500 sounds reasonable).
2. I hope to become more patient.
3. I will become a more attentive wife, and better Mother.
4. I will become a better homemaker.
5. I will do my best to care for my friends and volunteer for our community.
6. I will shop less and save more.
7. I will take the time to take better care of myself.
8. I will do my best to visit my family more often.
9. I’ll try to wash the dishes every night… well maybe
10. I will take more pictures, bake more cakes, and enjoy everyday!

I’m sure the list could go on and on, but 10 is a pretty good start. I hope that everyone has a Happy and Safe New Year! Wishing everyone all the best in 2009!

From our Family to Yours we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with family, fun, and plenty of homemade goodies too.

With love and big hugs, nico
