22 Easy Ways To Say Thank You…Without Even Having to Say “Thank You”

It's that time of year...the holidays...when everyone is letting others know how much they love and are thankful for them.  But saying thank you isn't easy for everyone....especially if you are one that has a hard time accepting help in the first place. So today I've put together two short lists with some simple ideas on how to say thank you without actually having to say "thank you".  The first list has ideas for what to say and the second list has some ideas on things to do...which means you ...

The Art of Homemaking: Make Two

I love this time of year when everyone is thinking about others...especially what they can give to others... But sometimes I think we make giving too hard.  Or over think it too much.  Or believe it has to be a grand gesture...or cost a lot...or be extravagant...or only be given to those in desperate need or to close friends or family... And it just doesn't have to be that way. It can be as easy as just making two. For instance: If you are making a batch of cookies...double it.  Then take the ... View the Post

We truly appreciate you spending a ... View the Post
