It’s November…

…which means the holiday season begins this month. I have started celebrating early with making pumpkin pie, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and stocking up on egg nog. Delicious.
(I attended a Witch Party a few weeks ago where we had a contest for “Best Witch Hat.” This little number placed in third place!)

I really do hesitate…

…to ever suggest that certain things are “the best [insert category here] ever!” We went to the grocery store today, and for some reason, I was really craving chocolate ice cream. Haagen-Dazs to be more specific. I found their new “five” ice cream, and decided to try it. Basically, the commercials and packaging advertise how they are going [...]

Halloween Weekend

We went to Summit for the Halloween weekend. It was my first time being home to see my brothers dress up in four years.

Jacob and his best friend, Matias. Cutest  rock star ever.

Helping with the make-up. He was Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 Spooky, huh?

Justin was in charge of handing out the candy. We had [...]

Award

My dear sweet friend Shalayne gave my blog the “Kreativ Blog” Award! It is pretty official. Thanks, Shalayne! Miss you. You can visit her blog for a limited time only (she is going private) here. I am always tempted to pull a Lindbergh and snatch their beautiful Ada.
I am supposed to pick 7 other blogs to [...]

I went for a walk today…

…and here is a sneak peak.

“And now…

…let the wild rumpus start!”

It was one of those rare Saturday morning/early afternoons where I was in a major cleaning mood. The kind that you really need to take advantage of before it goes away. I was in sweats, my hair was a disaster, I had no make-up and I’m not [...]

Today was brisk!

AND it is staying that way (for this week at least.) I am beyond thrilled.
Tonight’s dinner was yummy. Chris and I made the healthiest soup ever (and by healthy, I mean not.) I found a couple of Baked Potato soup recipes, and found two that I liked. We combined the two and it was yummy.
The [...]

Well, it was nice.

My “month” of blogging is over. I missed a few days. It was fun. Now I will go back to blogging as normal.
Today was my first day of teaching Spanish to pre-schoolers. I have a class of 7 little girls, and it looks like there are enough people who want to take the class to [...]

61st Primetime Emmy Awards

I love awards shows! Sure, the awards are nice, but I love to watch the shows for the fashion! In fact, my favorite part of the awards show are the pre-shows that catch the celebs as they are walking down the red carpet. I must say that I am not envious of the actresses that [...]

Pictures to Come

At least once a day, every day, I have the thought, “Shoot, I wish I had our camera with me!” So today, I made sure I grabbed it, and we had a fun date night exploring this new home of ours. This did require a lot of walking, however, and I’m tired. So, I promise [...]
