48 hours until Christmas. And I finally finished decorating my house for the holidays. Yay, me! I had most of it done in early December, but then I had those last few things left to do and I never did them… go figure. But we had some friends over for a holiday party last night,…
You guys remember Magic Shell, right? It was super cool before there were 18,000 different kinds of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors and chocolate sauce was about as fancy as you could get with your dessert. I always referred to it as a “chocolate dipped cone” because that is the only form I ever…
Pretty soon, your mailbox will be flooded with Christmas cards. If you’re like me in years past, you’ll leave them on the counter for lack of a better place and then find them randomly crushed and chewed on and shoved under the couch because your toddler got to them (you thought I was going to…
I am always way too late on the Advent calendar train. I usually try to put something together on December 4th, get frustrated with the fact that I am behind and can’t backtrack, and give up and eat peppermint kisses instead. This year, I am determined to do it up and do it right; so…

Disclosure: I received a complimentary Switch Witch in order to put her to the test with my kids; however, all opinions and musings in this post are entirely my own. Thank God my kids don’t have allergies. We’ve never had to fear peanuts or eggs or dander… we’re very lucky. We have, however, had to…
Fall has officially arrived! Not only is it fall according to the calendar, but our temps have finally dropped and we’ve been having rain and chilly nights. I didn’t think I was ready for the cooler weather, but oh man, I am loving it. Sunday was one of our rainy, cold days, so I got…
