Holiday Gifts in a Jar

Holiday Gifts in a Jar

Don’t you just love gifts from the kitchen? For years I prepared a wide assortment of chocolates and candies for each household in my family. My dear friend’s youngest daughter Kayla stayed with me before and after school until her mother picked her up some years ago.  During those four years she helped with the gifts for my family.

Set a time to tell the children about the activities of the week, when they are scheduled, and what you expect from them. Sunday morning was my preference....
