I can’t let it go
I feel like I need an intervention. I'm having some problems. It's...letting go. Of...Christmas. I just can't let it go. Elsa knew darn well what she was singing about in her song, that's for sure. You see, I just LOVE ME SOME CHRISTMAS. Oh, I've taken down our tree. (Not to brag, but I DID take that ...

New Year’s resolutions, my new Life Planner, and yummy Puppy Chow
I'm back dear friends. I meant to write a post Sunday evening, but I was plain tuckered out from Christmasing at Grandma Helen's. We are so happy that she is feeling better. It was a fun day of eating great food, visiting with family, and enjoying Christmas with Grandma Helen. Now, it's back to reality and ...

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 ...

Merry Christmas!
It's Christmas Eve and I've been pondering the Christmas story. It's one that I never get tired of hearing. Mary & Joseph traveling to Bethlehem. Jesus born in a manager because there was no room for them in the inn. This Christmas season, I pray that you will make room for Him in your heart. Over ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
