Did you know that you can make a very frugal daily shower spray that uses no harsh chemicals? It's so easy! After cleaning my very nasty shower curtain liner, I wanted to keep it looking great. Lightly spray your shower area, including the tub side of your liner, with this homemade spray to keep it...<br/> <br/> [[ This is a content summary only.

I love Christmas books. I love traditions. This project is all three! Twenty-four Christmas books, one to read each night from December 1st through the 24th. What I love so much about this idea, is that you can customize it depending on the age of your children. And it's not as hard as you think to come up with 24 great Christmas stories.
