Holiday Gifts for Girls
Call me crazy, but I’ve already been shopping for Christmas gifts for our kids. It helps the budget to spread items out over the course of a couple months, and helps me to think more strategically about what I want to get the kids rather than grabbing things last minute. Over the next few weeks I’m going to be sharing some gift lists for girls, boys and more so you can shop intentionally with me this year! YOTO PLAYERI got … Read More
