Dec 2013

Since we clean and deal with leather riding tack all the time I knew my husband could clean it up for me.

Turned out beautifully. He wrapped it all up in a nice box. Perfect.

My mom got me theater tickets. My girls gave me sweet framed "selfies".

We've always kept the gift giving to a minimum - even for the kids. I love that we've managed to dial down the consumerism to a bare minimum - its made my life so much easier
