You know what's great about having toddlers around? They actually want to clean! It's a treat to them. So much so that I'm giving my littles cleaning baskets for Valentine's Day because I know they'll adore them - not because the net result will be a cleaner home for me (that's just a bonus).

How to Make Designer Holiday Cards at Home

Am I normal? I’m not sure, but I do know that it adds up quickly, especially when you factor in postage. Despite the cost, what really holds me back is the commitment to one design.
