It's SO worth it to take a little extra time to make a memory for my kids {for the pancake recipe, click here}.6 cookie cutters are better {faster} than 2.
Cookie cutters stack very nicely in the dishwasher.
It doesn't matter HOW old your kids are, your Christmas tree is going to be played with, under, around, on...
Child #1 is a heck of a lot easier to feed than child #2! {ONLY because child #1 likes to pretend she's a kitty and her home is under the highchair, and that's MUCH more interesting than sweet peas!}
Sugar cookies are a HUGE mess! FUN, but messy!
Crunchy sugar cookies make GREAT teething biscuits {again with the messy!}

When it's cold outside and your husband feels bad for the dog, an old T-Shirt will find new uses...
Some things I've remembered this Holiday Season...
Eggnog goes with ANYTHING! Even homemade Sweet-n-Sour Chicken and Edeme {Clint learned, sadly, that Mt. Dew does NOT! And yes, the recipe will soon be on the Tried and True Recipe Swap blog!}
Foam stickers will keep my child entertained for hours. {and I'm sure will light up Uncle Riley's day when he get's his Christmas card from us!}
I don't like to be cold! Sorry, no pic for that just use your imagination to see me with a blue nose and chattering teeth!
Babies look SO different when you cut 2+ inches of hair off the top!
"Christmas lights on your house make you happy. And they let Santa know where your house is!" - Madison
May we all learn something happy everyday this year!
