2016 Resolutions : Same Same But Different

Calder’s the keeper of our resolution list. For years now he’s the one who motivates the discussion as we’re all sitting around the table on New Year’s Eve. As we share our goals for the coming year, he writes them down, and then reads them during the same discussion the following year. He’s also become […]

Crafting with Kids: Sewing a Scarf

Waste Less Wednesdays : Albatross Razor
