Merry Christmas! Today was a wonderful day! I knew if I didn't wake up before Pickle he would probably start opening stuff on his own. Though we told him the rule was he had to wait. I decided to set my alarm anyways. I woke up at 7am and just laid there for 10 minutes,... Continue Reading →
It is Christmas eve! That means Santa comes tonight! I am always so excited to see the kid's faces when they see what is under the tree. Yes I am one of those parents who goes a bit overboard at Christmas. I just can't help myself sometimes. As for today's agenda, our tradition is to... Continue Reading →
Only two days left until Christmas! For some people the holidays are a gloomy time. There are a multitude of reasons why someone would associate the holidays with being depressed.

3 days until Christmas, can you believe it!? I am excited, but also sad at the same time because once it is over then that's it. We are pretty much ready to go for Christmas. I have 3 gifts left to wrap, 1 more to run out and buy, 1 to assemble, and a bag... Continue Reading →

Pickle has never liked seeing Santa in person. I think after he was about 2 years old he would just refuse to... Continue Reading →
Well, here I am, still sick with this nasty cold virus. Having low energy makes it hard to want to do anything "fun". However, I was determined to make the coffee cake that I talked about yesterday in my blogmas day 17 post. I won't post the recipe because it wasn't my own, but here... Continue Reading →

I especially do not like mint chocolate flavored things. Yuck! The flavor I gravitate towards for the season is cinnamon. Yesterday we were watching the... Continue Reading →
Here I am again, battling yet another cold virus. I don't ever remember getting this sick as often as a stay at home mom. Add in Pickle starting public school and, well, it is bound to spread. We just don't seem to be catching any breaks around here. With that, I don't have much for... Continue Reading →
