Love Virginia Lee Burton books. When I was a little girl, my favourite winter book was called “Katy and the big snow” by Virginia Lee Burton. It was about an old snowplow named Katy that saved the town from a blizzard!
Oh how I would be so touched if I received this gift! I love, love, love everything about the time & heartfelt love that went into these gifts. This is truly the spirit of Christmas! Thanks for sharing!!
“I ate the wheels” coming from Grant with a huge smile warmed my heart! On Sunday we are celebrating my mom’s 85th and my nieces 36th birthdays. I did creamed honey that I’m pairing with a biscuit mix in a jar and chicken soup. I have wanted to do the wax wraps so maybe I will give that a try to add to the basket! Wonderful ideas here Kelsey, I’m always inspired with your ideas. Great gift choices for the children too! I think they have some very creative playtime in their future. Bless you sweet Kelsey. Thank you for sharing with us. 🤗
I knowww, I do love that boy so! Oh I love getting mixes in a jar! Your gifts sound lovely! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! May your celebration and Christmas season be blessed friend! ❤️☺️🌲
I DO send out Christmas Cards. I rarely get any but I love to send them. It's something I will never stop doing. Handmade gifts are the best things to relieve. And we love to give them as well. All of my children are grown and live far away and I miss being with my family but I do what I can
I love them you still send them and are keep it alive regardless of receiving any! I’m sure it is very hard being away from family. Most of our family has moved away and I sure do miss the big family get togethers we used to have. Hugs 🤗
You got such great gifts for the kids! The Seven Silly Eaters is one of my favorite picture books. I got it for my 30 year old daughter when she was little with a book on tape to go along with it, read by the author. It’s really cute! That bug vacuum is a riot!
Thank you ☺️ I’m so excited to give them everything! It is such a great book and what a sweet memory you have! I’ll try and include the bug vacuum in action in a garden video next year lol. Merry Christmas!
Love your videos!! Finally someone with a normal Christmas budget! 🎄 my kids are the same age as your two! And no joke love the same things! Many good ideas, merry Christmas ❤ to your family!
Thank you so much! That’s awesome they are so similar! I can’t believe the amount of money people spend at Christmas! We are pretty frugal and are really focused on being debt free and saving for land! I do try my best to stretch the Christmas budget though! Merry Christmas friend ❤️
Love to get homemade gifts like these. I do still send Christmas cards because I am a scrapbooker and love to make cards from the scraps that are left. I love to get cards too but don't get many anymore.
Pachy dinos are(were real). There are so many types of dinos. I know it seems like they are making up the names but they arent lol. I have been wanting to make the beeswax covers for so long and you just inspired me to do so. Thank you. Loved your video ❤ I miss having little ones around. I'm 56 and it's just me and hubby
Lol! I’m sure, I just remember being obsessed with the good old t-Rex, velociraptor and brachiosaurus! So many out there though! I hope you enjoy the beeswax wraps! I love using them. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Merry Christmas ❤️☺️🌲
I've never seen a 'kids gift' video and loved it! I want one of those fort building kits! Your presents are so considerate of their likes and wants. Now the big question - how do I get on your gift basket list? LOL Makes me want to do the same. I made vanilla, have lots of jelly and jam, plenty of dried fruit, made cowboy candy and bought lots of fermented meat sticks Now to just whip up the cookies and gift containers. I just needed inspiration to pull them together and more items to plan for next year. Crazy great gift baskets. Thanks for the inspiration.
Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed it! If you were nearby you’d most definitely be getting a basket and an invitation to build forts with the kiddos lol. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas! 🌲☺️❤️
It will vary by the type of alcohol used. The only alcohol that I have had practically disappear, taste wise, is coconut rum.. The longer the extract sits, the more the alcohol mellows. Some people will add just a small amount of sugar to smooth out the alcohol taste but it's still alcohol. Alcohol cooks out when baking and just leaves the vanilla taste behind. If alcohol is a problem, vanilla extract can be made with vegetable glycerin. It is debatable but my experience is that the shelf life isn't as long.

I’m over 50 yo and I got one of those big houses last year. They work! There are 5 tubes that some type of mason bee sealed up for the winter.
So cool! I love that you have one! ❤️

Super cute video! And wild timing! I’m making beeswax wraps today. Do you use any jojoba or pine resin with your beeswax?
Thank you! Oh cool! I personally do not, I don't find it necessary :)

Beautiful. Can I ask if you can still taste the alcohol with the extract? Enjoy this amazing season as we celebrate our Saviours birth ❤
Thank you! I can still taste the alcohol but I can't smell it! May your Christmas season be blessed
Isn’t commercial vanilla extract usually made with alcohol?
@@cynthiafisher9907 I believe so!
It will vary by the type of alcohol used. The only alcohol that I have had practically disappear, taste wise, is coconut rum.. The longer the extract sits, the more the alcohol mellows.
