Oh it’s holiday baking time again! As a general practice I usually don’t bake a big batch of assorted treats and keep them on hand for the season. That’s just a recipe for me to binge eat ALL THE THINGS! So instead, I make a batch here and a batch there and make sure they… Continue reading Dirty Dishes: Thumbprint Jam Cookies and Netflix Giveaway

Vlogging Telephone
Vlogging Telephone: a group of bloggers getting together and go around a circle answer a question from 1 blogger and then ask a different blogger a new question, all on videos! Make sense? Ok, this is my first ever vlog so go easy on me. If I don’t get kicked off the internet, I might… Continue reading Vlogging Telephone
Christmas Movie Marathon
I love Christmas movies. I watch all the same ones every year. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Frosty the Snowman. How the Grinch Stole Christmas! It’s like reliving my childhood all over again and the best part is experiencing these classics with my children as my mother did with me and my brother when we… Continue reading Christmas Movie Marathon
Flash Back Friday
One of our earlier attempts at a family Christmas card picture. Only 2 kids. Oh the ignorant bliss we were in back then.
I’m In The Picture (week 6)
The tree is up and the kids are 100% responsible for the decorating of it. It was so nice to hear them talk about the school-ones and the baby’s-first year ones. They look forward to seeing all these little memories hanging on the tree. It might not be Martha Stewart but it’s beautiful just the… Continue reading I’m In The Picture (week 6)

They write their Christmas wish lists. They get dressed up in their cutest coordinating outfits (that… Continue reading I Win At The Mall Santa Visit

Christmas Eve is a KD night
I really should learn by now that I still NEED to feed my 4 kids on Christmas Eve. I have been planning and shopping and prepping and cutting and mixing and chilling and baking. I can’t be expected to also have to remember to make dinner on Christmas Eve, am I? So in my flurry… Continue reading Christmas Eve is a KD night
Wilton to the rescue!
I do love a great product and this is one that we seek out at this time of year! The Wilton (not sponsored) pre-assembled ginger bread kit. The house comes in a box like a blank canvas. Brown walls and roof with icing holding the whole thing together. For a busy family of 6, we… Continue reading Wilton to the rescue!
