Review of Christmas gifts

#1



Beautiful coffee mug and memory verse for every week of the year. Time to get started.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep my laws". Ezekiel 36:26-27.

I am WEAK at memory so this will be a challenge. But a worthy challenge, dont you think??

Thanksgiving

Some say its time to put up Christmas! Some say I want longer to enjoy it. I do agree that we do NOT have enough time to enjoy our Christmas wonderland (and i have a ton of Christmas decor). I typically leave mine up longer than most bc of this (the goal is to have it down my february).

The thing is, i LOVE my fall decor too!! And for thanksgiving I get to display my beautiful spode plates that I LOVE.












I mean, doesnt it all look so warm and cozy?!?!?

Just Another Night

Oh sleep....that wonderous essential part of life that I use to take for granted. I miss that.



Yes I know how to stop this madness but I am just not willing at this point to fight it. Instead laying sideways at the bottom of my own bed with a bear as my pillow is clearly the best option.

Hummus Dip

Let me just start by saying that this dip has lead me to believe I need my own cooking show. I mean really, it is pure genius.

I have been trying to figure out how to eat hummus for a couple of years. Let me be real honest....I literally had to google how to spell hummus. It was truly a foreign food to me. All I knew is that skinny and healthy looking people talked about it. So I thought I would try and jump on the bandwagon. After trying multiple types (and almost gagging after trying roasted red pepper...the worst kind ever) I decided to visit the hummus bar at brookshires. The bar allows you to try small amounts of multiple variations without committing to an entire container.

First out of the gate....black bean hummus !So now what? It looks pretty good but shouldnt there be more??? Enter the idea of a dip!! Here is how I layered....

Black bean hummus
Mozz cheese
Halved cherry tomato
Chives
Chopped green bell pepper
Salt and pepper
SMALL drizzle of red wine vinegar

Clearly you can add whatever the heck you like and want, but oh my this is a good combo!! Its like a healthy 7 layer dip (ode to college late nights!!)





For the days I need the carbs, I will dip with wheat thins and when I am feeling super healthy celery will be the dipper.

Selfies

Back before kids I use to watch marathons of americas top model whenever I could find it. Tyra would tell the models to practice different faces in the mirror. As I scrolled through my pictures today, I discovered that landon has been channeling her inner Tyra.....

Munchkin market

Its that time again!!!!! I just completed another season of munchkin market. I have mixed emotions regarding this years sale. Overall the items were priced higher, which I dont like. I guess in this economy even consignment prices are going up. We all need the money (probably to support our spending issues). There was not any steal of a deal; like a smocked dress for $15 or matilda jane for $10. Even when I find just one of those items I feel like I have actually won the lottery. It doesnt take much people.

I was able to clothe my children for the fall, though. No worries.






































Oh and a north face for myself for $20. Score!!

New Room!

Its been a while since Ive blogged, so I stopped getting ready this morning and made it a priority. With half of my hair straightened and the other half frizzy......I give you updates on the new addition on my house.

I had to stand my ground on this archway. I wanted it to be unique. Im not a fan of the pointy archways and I had envisioned a perfectly round cut out. After convincing everyone that this is best they made an archway they had never made before. And it is BEAUTIFUL!!!






Cant wait to see it with bricks!!!!

Here is the inside of the room






And the progress on the porch






This has been a great experience for us with good people contractors. Cant wait for the finished product!!!
