Thanks for following my blog and I am ...Hi Melissa,<br />Thanks for following my blog and I am already a follower of yours:) Love the post. I just spent the weekend trying to declutter my kids toy room and had a heck of a time, because the kids didn't want to get rid of anything, even the things I know they don't play with. I am being very careful this year with gifts although I can't gear it to my daughter desires to be a dragonolagist when she grows up.:)The Adventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129815174861478639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-72654398600930717592010-11-30T20:30:05.928-08:002010-11-30T20:30:05.928-08:00@NotBlessedMama - I think there is a good place in...@NotBlessedMama - I think there is a good place in between, but finding is probably so tough!

Hope your memory serves you better than mine!<br /><br />@Jenn - Isn't that neat when you can tell what your kids passions are and the power you have as a parent to encourage them in that!!!Melissa Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145777339213747542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-89017877479440010172010-11-30T14:22:31.009-08:002010-11-30T14:22:31.009-08:00Home made gifts are the ones that touch our hearts...Home made gifts are the ones that touch our hearts:)Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272144659643725416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-22443940329870479382010-11-30T14:16:06.025-08:002010-11-30T14:16:06.025-08:00We are doing something along the same lines as you...We are doing something along the same lines as yourself. My eldest is 8 and doesn't know what he wants so has asked for a surprise. He is hugely into science so we have gotten him a chemistry set and some sciency books. My two little ones don't get it yet, they are too young. What you have chosen for your children sounds fab, hope it is very successful:) Jen@jencull (jen)http://www.thekingandeye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-108194060749821039.post-30912869393882955562010-11-30T13:53:55.513-08:002010-11-30T13:53:55.513-08:00That's a real challenge, actually.
