The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and lots of snow!


Things that make me happy: 
The snow!  I don't have to go out in it, so we can sit and watch it from inside where we are nice and cozy warm.


Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson and As Always, Julia the letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto by Joan Reardon.


What's on my TV today: 
Probably lots of old Will and Grace.

On the menu for dinner:
Chicken tacos with Mango avocado salsa


On my To Do List:LaundryGet chicken going in the crockpot


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
My delicious mac and cheese.


In the craft basket:
I'm still working on a cute bird pillow softie.


Looking forward to this week:
Family time and a more relaxed week.


Tips and Tricks:
Hmm...  I can't really think of any today.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Nerd Nest - Happy Birthday Eliza


No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):





Lesson learned the past few days:
Don't assume the negative.  It just stresses you and everyone else around you out.  If things turn out to be negative, then deal with it at that time, but maybe they aren't and you stressed for no reason.



On my mind:
Fixing lunch and watching a movie with the kids.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

By
This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
