It’s the holiday season, and I understand that my house is supposed to smell like cinnamon and cloves and nutmeg and whatever, but I hang out all day with two little kids–my house smells like burnt popcorn and the laundry that I forgot to take out of the washing machine last week and the doings of the kid who’s afraid to flush the toilet. Also, nutmeg? Eh.

Gluing junk to cardboard with the kids the other day, however, I had a flash of inspiration: that stuff in the kitchen? That smells good? That I don’t cook with on account of I don’t know how to cook? It could make my house smell less redneck!

Come on–get some glue, some cardboard, and some smelly stuff you don’t know how to cook with from your kitchen, and your house can smell less redneck, too! We’ll make an ornament out of dried herbs or seeds that can scent your house and look festive from now until spring.
