Must See Monday #3

Weekends are catch-up time for me: I catch up on my writing, I catch up on my laundry, I catch up with my husband, and if I have any time left over, I catch up on all the fabulous posts that accumulate in my reader during the week. Every week I find awesome crafts, fun books, and super giveaways! This weekend kept me pretty busy, so I'm sad to admit I'm more behind in my reader than I'd like to be, but here's what I found so far...

Enjoy!

Crafts:
Still thinking about handmaking some holiday gifts? Check out this list of tutorials at Oh Amanda.
Needing some holiday smell in your home? Check out these cinnamon ornaments from Little Page Turners.
Need an indoor activity to keep your little ones busy on cold or wet days? Print out this village from Tip Junkie printables for fun assembly and pretend play!

Ideas/Recommendations:
I need to just say that I love just about everything Christie posts about at Childhood 101. You'll probably find a link there in my list most weeks. This week, she shares ideas for creating family memories during the holidays.
Wanting to share more than just your own local or cultural holiday traditions with your child? Check out the resources at ABC and 123 for Christmas around the world.
Looking for some small, simple gifts for stockings or Hannukah? Check out these game suggestions from Let's Explore.

I didn't enter any giveaways this week - too busy! :( Hope I'll still find some good ones next week.
