Welcome to another week of Global Blogging! I co-host every week with Laura from Musings of a Tired Mummy. The link up opens on Monday at 6am and closes on Tuesday at 10pm, London time. We welcome all bloggers and any type of post!

My Favorite Post

I’ve long been considering switching to donations as gifts. Most adults purchase what they want throughout the year and it’s increasingly difficult to decide what to buy each person. Lisa from Little Orange Dog has some great ideas for alternative gift giving that meet every budget, help the environment, and still allow that feel good moment of giving/receiving a gift.
