Cookie, cookie, cookie...


So it's Monday, we all know I don't do well on Mondays. Today is actually going by kinda fast though so it's not too bad. Last night we had our first snow here in beautiful Colorado! It was so pretty :) I'm currently in the midst of organzing my very first "Ugly Christmas Sweater & Cookie Exchange Party". I'm beyond excited for this little shin-dig. As my mom said "Ugly Sweaters & pretty Cookies sounds like a good time!"



The rules and regs for a good time!
1. Bring two dozen cookies
2. Bring a copy of your recipe to share
3. You can bring a container to take your cookies home if you would like
4. If you don't bake or have time bakery cookies are ok!
5. Wear and ugly Christmas sweater, the ugliest will win a prize

I'm having the guests rsvp what cookies they are bringing to avoid having multiples of the same recipe this way we have a good variety. I think I'm going to make a few batches just to snack on too. We will be serving mixed drinks, cocoa, and coffee.

I am going to be making Cranberry Oatmeal with white chocolate chunks!! I love them and they are always a hit when I put them on cookie trays. I will be posting the recipe for them later in the week if you want to tickle your own taste buds!



Are you planning or going to any fun holiday parties this season!? Do share?

Happy Holly Days!

She's alive....

That would be me. I haven't blogged in over a month! I've been so exhausted with working overtime and my blood sugar has been out of wack too which makes me feel really tired and fatigue all the time. It really sucks but I try to deal with it the best I can. I did however lose the eleven pounds I wanted to lose, so im happy about that. I'm living with by boyfriend so I'm not working at home right now, I'm actually going into work for the time being. I also applied for a new position at work so I'm hoping I get it and a good schedule too. I got out of work early today went and had lunch with my mom and took a longish nap. It was great! I really love naps, I wake up feeling recharged! Then I did a haircut, watched some American Idol, then went and got a Slurpee (which I have be craving for over a week). In other news my birthday was on the 4th and I turned 28! I can't believe it....where do the years go? I still feel like a youngin' :) Here are ...

Wednesday Window Shopping V.1...

Image
Happy Holidays! Today is the first day of December in case you didn't know - which means you only have 24 shopping days until Christmas left!! This is the first year EVER that I have actually been on top of my shopping through out the year. This only leaves me with a select few I still need gifts for. So instead of doing my "Wednesday Wishes" post I'm changing it to "Wednesday Window Shopping"! I think more than likely this will be a permanent change since I LOVE SHOPPING. So here we go... I think this would make a really awesome gift for that studdly coffee or hey even cocoa drinker in your family or a quirky friend! I have a set minus the mustaches (I wish I had these instead) I love them :) {via} Now how about these for the cute and fun baker in your family!? I just think they are soo cute and I have been drooling over them for quite sometime. I have no idea why I haven't bought them yet. {via} I think these lovely Moccasin Slippers would make suc...

Life with Poe: Sleep, Eat, Poo!

Image
My little Poesy Quinn is learning new things everyday. She has rolled over, can stand up while leaning up against something, and has become quite the babbling boo! She talks and talks and talks in her little raspy voice. She has the prettiest big-open-mouthed smile I have ever seen but of course I'm never fast enough to capture a photo of it. She is taking longer naps and sleeps good through the night waking up only one time to eat. We switched her from breast milk to a new formula since she has colic and it seems to be be working, she seems happier which make me happier. The only down fall to the new formula is the stinky/explosive diapers!!! Awe the joys of being a mom, as they say. Will I miss these stinky diaper one day?? Only time will tell. Here is my stinky Poe sleeping, she is so beautiful!
