I hope you all had such a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and had fun Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping! After a very busy holiday weekend for us, I was just so drained, that I could barely drag myself to the computer, and Josh has been home on vacation since Monday (11/26), fighting off a cold that I just felt it was important to take a break.
But now, I am back. Our house is decorated for Christmas. Well, as much as I could muster this year. Normally, every Christmas goodie I own is out and displayed, but this year, I toned it back a little bit and mainly just decorated the fireplace, our tree, and our house and front door. I even gave Josh a get out of free card this year for the the garland that I always make him hang around our front door. I think, for this year, since I’ll be giving birth right around Christmas, simplicity is key, since we’re going to have to put it all away too…and the less I put out, the less stressed I’ll be about putting it away.
However, just because I’m scaling back on our Christmas decorations does not mean that I’m scaling back on Holiday yummies! I plan to stay cooking in the kitchen as much as my tired little feet will let you, so that I can help feed you and your family and friends with yummy treats.
Since our son will be born soon, I’ve had to come to the realization that some things will have to be benched for a little bit as we adjust to having a newborn in the house. Our Weekly Menu and possibly Tuesday’s Tidings will be taking a rest for a bit. But our plan is to continue to keep the recipe posts circulating while we’re taking care of our son. Between Josh and I, we have a very nice selection of posts that we think you will all enjoy. So please, be patient with us as we try and wade through this and please know, that each and everyone of you who drops by to read our posts and comment, you guys mean the world to us and we have so much fun writing for you.
