Happy 2022! What on earth?! The fact that the year 2000 was 22 years ago and not 8 like it still feels to me blows my mind. Hope your year is off to a great start! This post is to say that we will be pausing our blog indefinitely. Kat is overwhelmed with life, and […]
Cranberry Salsa
Happy Christmas week! Who can believe it? Not me. I’m in full-on turbo Christmas mode to try and do all the things. To do list: Bake cookies for the 43rd time with Claire. Finish buying things for their stockings. Wrap every single gift because I haven’t wrapped a single. Watch Family Stone at least one […]
Friday Favorites
In one week, it’s Christmas Eve. Here are some favorites from the week, and while we’re at it, let’s join Momfessionals and A Little Bit of Everything too. Kat At my school we have a daily devotion led by a different staff member every week. One week a coworker led about the importance of rest […]
Cajun Chex Mix
I recently mentioned in a post that the smell of Christmas to me is homemade Chex mix. Yes, that’s what makes me think of Christmas and takes me down memory lane. Everyone knows that recipe, and if you don’t, it’s on the side of the box. In recent years, our mom has been making a […]
North Pole Lunch
Our oldest sister, Saralyn, has been having the cousins over every year on a morning in December for festive fun. She normally has us in the morning for a “North Pole Breakfast”, but this year it was lunch, and it was well received. Remember her? She’s the one that has been putting her kids in […]

That man is a confection master, and I’m in awe. Momfessionals’ blog always does a fun, festive breakfast when her kids’ elf arrives. […]
Feliz Navidinner
Today’s post is going to be pretty short, but it’s a festive idea, and maybe you’re in the market for a festive idea. Last year I wanted to have some friends over for dinner during the Christmas season and decided for the focus to be Mexican food. I’m sure if Mary and Joseph could have […]
By the Chimney with Care
Is everyone in the spirit? I sure hope so. Why do the fun months fly? August sure knows how to go slow. If we push all the December buttons Buddy the Elf style, will it slow this month down a bit? Can we put a halt on it? Let’s see. Everywhere you go, you’re probably […]
Friday Favorites
December, you beautiful and chaotic and wonderful month. How the heck are you? I’m joining Momfessionals and A Little Bit of Everything to share some new (or maybe old) favorites from the week. I got this Amazon dress, and fell in love once I got it out of the package. The green polka dots are […]
Quick Q
It’s another Quick Q post. These are basically us just gabbing about ourselves, sharing embarrassing moments, and enlightening everyone with absurdity. For all those reasons, these posts are my favorites. Enjoy. Today’s silly questions are all Christmas related. Ask your people these at your next holiday gathering especially if there’s a lull. No one likes […]
