**Friday Favorites** {12.15.2023}
Happy Friday friends!! Did ya’ll have a fun-filled week? Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Monday, we got home from school and Addison wanted to play outside. I told her she had to bundle up. She comes outside like this. lol Monday night consisted of Gingerbread construction. It’s a favorite time around here. I think more candy was consumed that put on the house. Tuesday, Addison was looking extra ‘Joy’ful, so I snapped a picture once we got to school. We didn’t have basketball on Tuesday, but we did have dance. So, we quickly left dance, headed home to change,…

**Christmas Books** {12.14.2023}
Today’s post is all about some Christmas reading! Now is the time to cozy up by the fire, under a blanket, sip hot cocoa and read a good book. There are some books I have already read or am currently reading. Most of them right now have an extra coupon you can clip, so they’re a great deal! I’m currently reading The Christmas Fix. It’s a fun, little read by one of my favorite authors, Lucy Score. She’ll save Christmas just to spite him… There’s only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving Merry, Connecticut’s Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates. Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities…

Happy Happy Monday!! Wow! December is flying by! Today, I’m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Friday morning, Elfie brought Addison a dinosaur egg.

Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week.

**Christmas Treats** {12.21.2022}
Today I’m sharing a couple of recipes that I love to make at Christmastime. The first one I’m sharing is for these Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cake Bars These are always a hit and a favorite! Addison helped me with melting the butter and stirring it all together. Once you have the cake mix, egg and butter mixed together, you can press it into the bottom of a greased 9×13 dish. This becomes the cookie crust. Then, you will pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Once it’s baked, make sure you have it set to cool completely before cutting. Red Velvet Gooey Butter Cake Bars Ingredients: 1 box…
