Christmas Printables and an EGGmazing tip!

So, our house is in Christmas overdrive! I still need to finish decorating the house...and if you must know it is in Autumn/Winter limbo. I have worship team practice tonight at our home and I know they are all going to think, "what is going on?!" It's like Autumn and Christmas had a bunch of kids and some look like Dad and some look like Mom. So, I guess John is Autumn and I am Winter...our kids are all so different! Anyway...that was random and weird! Sorry, I do that sometimes! I am so glad I have friends and family who love me! As I am preparing to finish decorating this weekend I was perusing Pinterest and found an AWESOME link to 35 free Christmas printables from Sassy Sites. They are all so cute, I had a hard time choosing which ones to print. Here are 3 that I chose for our home:

Christmas Tree Scripture from Betty Crocker Wannabe...this one is so adorable:

Ok, and I know this is totally random and has nothing to do with Christmas, but I found the perfect way to boil and peel eggs! I have been eating a lot of these lately because I went back to my Paleo diet since the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. So, I was trying to find out the best way to cook them and came across this info from Mom on a Mission. You have to try this! So, so easy and they peeled perfectly! I did not even do the ice bath, just soaked them in cold water.  It is EGGmazing! ;)

Fun Decor Ideas

I have been wanting to decorate the house for Fall...my favorite season, and I of course, as a budget minded mom, wanted to find cute, inexpensive ways to revamp the house. I did an online search for free printables and I  found so many! Too many to actually use! So, I wanted to share a few of my favorites and some that I have used or plan on using. All you need to do is download them and save them, then you can print and frame them or decopauge them on a wooden letter, or whatever your crafty heart desires! Hope you enjoy!
