As we all know, Winter has officially begun! Ok, well, technically winter doesn’t start until Dec 21…but with the holidays in full swing (and the snow a-falling here in Utah…) I thought it was time to make our family winter bucket list, and of course, make a printable version to share with you as well!

How Much to Spend on Christmas: Part 1 – the WHAT?
This time of year I regularly get questions such as, “what should I spend on Christmas?” “How much should I budget for Christmas gifts?” and the kicker, “How much should I spend on my kids for Christmas?“.
