1000 Gifts

I decided that keeping my list in the sidebar was going to be a daunting & messy task. Not to mention, what if someone wants to comment on my 1000 gifts? Oh me, oh my, the choices...... So I decided to trade in a sidebar list for a proper blog entry list and link it in the sidebar. I will just be redoing this particular list, keeping the date ahead of time, so it will continue to be at the top through CHRISTmas. For any NEW stuff, look just past this entry! Did ANY of that make sense? LOL...... 1. God, 2. Jesus, 3. my Husband, 4. Sebastion, 5. Tristen, 6. Keenan, 7. home, 8. The Holy Bible 9. Mum, 10. Dad, 11. My Brother, 12. MIL, 13. FIL, 14. SMIL, 15.

I wasn't going to post again.....

As time is so short right now. But I logged on to check my emails and sat in awe and dropped jaw that I am a weiner... ahem- WINNER! Miss Susan held a lovely little (and very easy) contest for a 3 month sub to Dine Without Whine . THANK YOU Susan! And once again, Merry CHRISTmas my friends!

Gingerbread

OK, wow!!! I am so excited. I attempted gingerbread this year. I have NEVER made the dough, much less made a house of it!!! But since I promised the boys, I upheld that promise and came up with the following. It is made from scratch other than the snowman (he came off a candy cane) and is 100% edible. I think it turned out great for being a rookie! LOL Otherwise, I want to wish all of you a safe and Merry CHRISTmas!!!

Traditions, traditions.....

Tonight we started our annual 7 days til CHRISTmas countdown. What I do is I purchase small gifts at dollar type stores and wrap them, 21 total these days, 1 for each child each night until CHRISTmas. Sometimes it's hot wheels cars, other small vehicles, knock off GIJoes, play-doh, etc. They have so much fun opening them and look forward to awakening CHRISTmas morning to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. What are your traditions during the Jesus is the reason for the season?

It's Monday....

And today I'm ok with that! After the weekend our family had, I am blessed to wake this Monday and to FEEL that blessing. When was the last time you counted your blessing s? Don't wait for something drastic to count them. Count them ALL, no matter how small. I know I seem to harp on that, but it is soooo the truth. For every large problem, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of little blessings. Begin counting them today! Today is my day to work on the kitchen. I will definitely be using my HKB (home keeping binder) to clean this week as we have a family coming over on CHRISTmas day, including one set of my In-laws from out of town. I will make yoohoo, gatorade's, orange juice, and a sugar free drink for myself. Tomorrow is trash day, so I'll also need to dump any science experiments into a bag. We had to settle for mediocre kitty litter last time and boy does my nose tell me so. I may be du mping that a day early as well (P-U!!!). I'm going to attempt t...
