For many of us, who are so busy in the rat race of day to day living, for them, giving gifts equals to going to the nearest store, and buying lots and lots of things, which they can afford or they cannot afford, while ticking the names off the future receivers, from their lists. Some are lucky enough to tell their secretaries, all right, Ms, or Mrs. XYZ, could you do my Christmas shopping the next time you go around the stores? A majority of men. I have noticed, under this category because seriously speaking, I have not found any man of my acquaintance who really enjoy spending lots and lots of time, shopping, especially in hectic crowds. They just enter a shop, look around, look at the crowds, go to the nearest shelf, pick up whatever is present on that shelf, and get out as fast as they can. And I am not joking! On the other hand, teenagers, ladies, and children love to spend lots and lots of time just browsing through shops, looking for best bargains, haggling over prices, – this is a necessary part of the shopping ritual in many parts of the world, even today – and asking the people around them, whether this item or that item is a better buy, especially when one is buying accessories! But in this book, I am going to teach you how to make gifts, right at home. And the joy of adding another skill to your repertoire of skills is going to make you feel warm, throughout the holiday season. It is November now, and you have a whole month, to make these amazing gifts, right at home. I am going to give you tips and techniques as well as points, which you are going to implement, especially when you say to yourself, why did not I think of this before. Some of these projects include a little bit of cookery including baking and making chocolates. You may also want to know how to make beauty products, full of natural ingredients. And perhaps you may want to keep these gifts for yourself because they look so good, smell so good, and best of all, taste so good. So enjoy the holiday season, and know that it is much blessed to give than to receive! Also, enjoy this book, because it has been made with lots of mirth, good cheer, and fun. The gifts that you are going to make, were demonstrated by my more experienced friends, while I took photos, and occasionally lend a helping hand so that I could say truly, with hand on heart, hey, I made them – when actually it is, I helped in their making – and others were my own projects, where I used to stop midway, in the process to take a snap. That is why, if you think this book to be more like a DIY project book with the instructions given like they do in wiki – how at least that is going to show you where you are going right, especially in the step-by-step instructions! So cheers!

Mothering is messy. Our joy and hope in raising children doesn’t change the reality that being a mom can be frustrating, stressful, and tiring. But just as God is using us to shape our children, God is using our children and motherhood to shape us. In The Better Mom, author Ruth Schwenk, herself a mother of four children, encourages us with the good news that there is more to being a mom than the extremes of striving for perfection or simply embracing the mess. We don’t need to settle for surviving our kids’ childhood. We can grow through it. With refreshing and heartfelt honesty Ruth emboldens moms to: Find freedom and walk confidently in purpose Create a God-honoring home environment Overcome unhealthy and destructive emotions such as anger, anxiety, and more Avoid glorifying the mess of mom-ing or idolizing perfection Cultivate life-giving friendships At the heart of The Better Mom is the message that Jesus calls us to live not a weary life, but a worthy life. We don’t have to settle for either being apathetic or struggling to be perfect. Both visions of motherhood go too far. Ruth offers a better option. She says, “It’s okay to come as we are, but what we’re called to do and be is far too important to stay there! The way to becoming a better mom starts not with what we are doing, but with who God is inviting us to become."

The ultimate guide for parents who dream of having a little less chaos and a lot more time for the good things in life Written by mother of five, Nicole Avery, this book shows harried parents how, with just a bit of planning, family life can become easier to manage, less stressful, and decidedly more fun. "Dream on," you say? "I might as well try to herd cats as to get my kids to follow a lot of arbitrary rules!" And Nicole would agree, which is why Planning with Kids isn't like any other parenting guide out there. It was inspired by Nicole's blog of the same name, which, over the past three years, has garnered a huge audience of likeminded parents who have achieved nothing short of miraculous results following her advice. While other prescriptive guides offer mums and dads cook-cutter solutions to the challenges of raising kids, this handbook focuses on one simple, straightforward idea: by implementing a few simple strategies for how you do things, you'll make more time for you to be you and your kids to be kids. You'll find strategies for streamlining and enhancing everything from the routines of daily life, to family relationships, to budgeting and finances, playtime and much more! Contains a full section on menus and cooking, including recipes, supported online by a planning-with-family meal planner Divided into sections so that readers can dip-in and dip-out for information as they need it as their family expands and grows up!
