The Ultimate Stocking Stuffer Guide
The humble Christmas stocking, a very fond memory of mine and a tradition I grew up with. Every Christmas morning my sisters and I would wake up far too early and raid the stockings that Santa had left for us. There was always really neat and interesting stuff to be found and two things that [...]
House Maintenance: Winter
Well it’s the end of November and we are still without a significant amount of snow. Now, I’m not complaining as I would love every winter to be like this, mild temperatures and blue skies but I know this won’t last forever. Soon enough the snow will be piling up and we’ll be huddled up [...]
