Winter To Do List...

 
 
 
Because it is already mid November, I have decided to do my winter to do list and include some November activities. If you have read through my past posts, I stated I would not be doing a winter to do list.  However, I am a flake and have changed my mind.  Or just a woman and can do that...wink wink.  Any way, her is what I have planned to accomplish...
 
Christmas picture and cards completed and made by November 30th
 
The tree WILL be put up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so that it is DONE
 
I am hoping to have all Christmas presents bought and wrapped by November 30th.  I know there will always be last minute things to pick up.
 
I am making all my Christmas cookies (and I cheat and use the pull apart and bake kind) the first Monday that School is out for break.
 
I want to make some red hots popcorn this year (yummy).
 
Christmas is going to be low key, family centered, and fun this year.  Very little stress.
 
I want to take some fun and pretty pictures of my girls in the snow this year.  I am working on my photography skills still.
 
I am trying to learn how to REALLY crochet this winter, instead of just looming.  I have been watching YOU TUBE videos.  I am planning to start with some dish cloths.  I have wanted to do this for years and this is the year.
 
This should keep me busy for a couple of months and hopefully I can report back with a fully checked off  list!!

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...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

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...
