Currently, Techy, and Freebie

Happy 2014!  As I write this, I am so amazingly excited to be typing on my new computer.  ((Swoon))  Ok, so it's a cheap laptop, but it's my cheap laptop.  :)  I'm working on a blog series about the learning curve I've encountered in the switch... In the meantime, I've added a super cute Happy New Years freebie for word work., you know, since you just might need something productive and cute for morning work on your first day back.  Enjoy!

Currently... with Farley!  Our memory/tradition for Christmas in the Casa de Sykes is the Family Activity Advent Calendar.  I created this several years ago, and we enjoy seeing what our activity is each day as we count down to Christmas!  My personal favorite always is the activity for Christmas Eve - "Remember you have a family that loves you, and that's the most important gift of all."
Happy New Year!

    I’m with you on the cleaner house! With all four of us home right now, I cannot stay on top of the mess. Hope you have a happy new year!
