Something fun to share:::
This was the first year my kids took part in New Years Eve partying of any kind.  We tried last year but they both fell asleep before midnight.  This year, they were so excited and were wearing party hats, playing with noise makers, and yelling "Happy New Year!"

Creamy Rotini with Ham and Asparagus sounds AMAZING. I'd love to see the recipe :)

I also can't wait for you to read Eat, Pray, Love. I don't know many big readers, so it's not often that I can discuss a book I've read with anyone.

I posted the recipe here http://attemptingtobeasupermom.blogspot.com/2011/04/creamy-rotini-with-ham-and-asparagus.html

I'm absolutely addicted to this blog for recipes:

http://fullbelliesmakehappykids.wordpress.com/

That's where I got the recipe for the creamy rotini as well as most of the new ones I try. Seriously, she posts so many recipes. I mean tons and we haven't tried one we don't like. She needs to put out a cookbook. I'd buy it for me, all my family, and friends!

I'm excited to read Eat, Pray, Love. I liked the movie, but wasn't in love with it. I'm a dork and always watch the movies first. Since I always like the book more, I want to still be able to enjoy the movie, so I watch it first. I'm a book-aholic, it's just hard for me to find time to read. I feel like most of my reading are of children's books, but my kids love books too. Someday we'll all read our own books at the same time. Haha! Then I'll have more time to read.

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

By
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...

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

By
Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
