it seems there's a handbook for everything.
a new fridge,
a new job,
exercise handbooks,
handbooks on organizing, childcare. . . . .
even Christmas shopping.
wouldn't it be nice if a there was a handbook for everyday life?
now, i COULD say there is. . . . the Bible.
but for the sake of a little silly fun,
here are some simple, everyday tips. . . . .
hope you find something to help you through the days,weeks and months of
2013!
