One of my cool cousins (not that they aren't all cool :) is starting a business. In addition to her 4 children she had through pregnancy, she has adopted 2 more beautiful girls in the last few years. She felt she was led to adopt these girls but now it is time to pay the piper. She has started an etsy shop and is now doing a letter from Santa business. She has a great idea for it and for $8 you can get a letter (postmarked from Alaska, clearly the closest post office to the North Pole), personalized with a message to your child about not only his gift choices but also the true meaning of Christmas. If I understand it right you can get a letter for each of your kids for that same price. Not too shabby. Click here to get to her Blog for info. While you are there you might browse around her blog gives you great ideas for getting organized on a budget.
