Christmas on a budget

I’m gonna go ahead and say BYU is the most family-friendly MBA program in the whole wide world.  To be part of the spouse association is quite empowering.  All the wives are encouraging and  supportive and because we’re all going through the same situations we’re all just leaning on each other trying to survive!  It’s really nice to have a large network of women at your disposal who are so talented and just plain nice.  Everyone is so dang nice!  I’ve really loved this whole experience.Sorry.  To the point.  Because our husbands are students and we’re all super poor heeey, speak for yourself!! we’re trying to do Christmas on the cheap.  I had to share some of the ideas the girls have found.  They’re pretty great!

  1. I LOVE Christmas on “Not a lot of money”! Handmade gifts are always a hit around here!! Especially when the whole family gets together on the premise that NOTHING will be store bought. Those are the best feelings, opening something you know the person made themself, just for you. Thanks Ladies of BYU-BMA Spouse program! [email protected]
