Christmas Recap…great gifts and bad casseroles

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  From my darling Hubby and our two boys and me...the gal with the eye glitch in the picture.  For the love of picture taking.  Do I HAVE to ruin a good family picture by crinkling up my nose and squinting ONE eye??  *Sigh.  It's all I've got folks. You see, we've ...

It’s Christmas time…in the kitchen! And Mrs. Claus & the gift she always leaves

I guess you could say that our home is similar to Mrs. Claus' kitchen...lots of goodies are being made and I'm thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. Yesterday, I gave you my Frosted Sugar Cookie recipe, along with the Best Frosting EVER recipe. Today, I will share two more recipes with you that are easy peasy.  Monster Cookie Dough ...

Weekend Recap: Frosted Sugar Cookie Recipe and Christmas festivities have begun!

I've very aware that after last Tuesday's I love 80's Christmas music post, I fell off the face of the earth and was nowhere to be seen or heard.  Unless you were at Target, then...you saw me there.  Or Younkers.  Or Casey's.  Yes, I was running around buying more Christmas gifts, gift cards, and last minute gifts ...

I love 80’s Christmas music

I realize not all of you procrastinate and leave ALL of your wrapping until now, but friends.  This is how I roll.  Actually, I don't want to brag, but...I am doing quite well this year.  Usually, I'm wrapping on Christmas Eve. Today, once the kids are off to school, I plan to wrap like a crazy ...

Weekend Recap: All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

Chalk one up for another busy weekend for the Patterson family.  Between basketball games, Christmas shopping, Christmas programs, and putting up Christmas lights...whew!  We were busy little elves. On Friday, I volunteered in Nate's classroom and let me tell you...those little fourth graders are just delightful!  We worked on division and it just warms my heart ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Wonderful Christmas ideas and other positive things (because I can’t keep thinking about mice)

I intend to make this post be 110% positive.  I don't want to bore you with the fact that my mouse trapping skills are not up to par.  Nor do I care to go into the awful details of me having gastroenteritis (known to you and I as the HORRIBLE stomach flu).  Yes.  It's been ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Jodi K’s, wonderful candles, and sweet family moments

Well, we've had a busy week of completing our decorating for Christmas (I hope you enjoyed my home tour A Christmas Tour of Lights), breaking out the cute wintery flannel sheets, and doing the usual 273 loads of laundry.  AND.  I'm pleased to announce that in the next week or so, I'll be sharing some ...

A Christmas Tour of Lights

It's no secret...Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday!  With all of the joy and good tidings and...Christmas lights.  Yes.  I love decorating for Christmas and seeing all of the warm and cozy lights. Last night, I told Hubby "I just LOVE Christmas lights!"  This may be why we have something Christmasy and all aglow in about ...
