Update on the Fall "I Will" List


An Update on my "I Will" List

This fall I "will".....
Make a new pumpkin recipe that I have never tried before.

C made Pumpkin Pop Tarts and I made a Pumpkin Fluff Dip to eat with Vanilla Wafers.  Both were very good and are on my Pintrest Boards.  I also added pumpkin to my chili for extra vitamins, you couldn't even taste it, so we will continue with this.  

Have most of my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving.

I only have to buy a few gift cards....All of the girl's items were purchased by the week before Christmas....this was a huge holiday stress reliever for me and one I will continue in the coming years.
Have my Christmas cards ordered and out by the first week of December. Ok, at least ordered.

Done.  We took the pics today and the cards are ready for pickup already.....yes!
Go to the pumpkin patch before the last week of October.

We went in mid October, yeah for me.  I didn't feel that the trip was as rushed this year.  I liked it much better.
Start making a monthly disc of my IPhone pictures, so I don't have to make 10 discs at one time. (true story)

I like doing this but I still always have too many pictures on my phone, but I am not going to go back to carrying  a camera all the time.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
