Countdown & treats

 

{3 more days!!!}
{The Better Homes & Gardens team made the adorable glittered construction paper chain garland over the chalkboard for us & I love it!!  It’s one of those things I’d planned on making more of but didn’t.  Glad we saved it.}
Yesterday our babysitter. Lizzie, surprised us with a box full of homemade cookies.  Her mother is a friend of ours and teaches at the high school with Dave -and has brought cookies in for the family before from Lizzie- which mysteriously never seem to make it home.
So this time Lizzie brought ’em home to mama.  ahhhhhh yessss…  I was all alone when she dropped them off and got to work on them immediately:
But, unlike my husband, I didn’t eat them all and saved some for my family.
(I tried… there were too many.)

I also have a neighbor who is one of those people who seems to do it all.  (Melissa, if you’re reading, this proves my point because -somehow- you even  have time to pop in here!!)  She & her daughter Claire dropped off some pumpkin bread the other week and I didn’t get a picture of it because it was gobbled up too quickly but it looked like this and it was Heaven:

I’m always so touched (and thrilled to be the recipient!) when people bake for the holidays and share it with others.  It’s just one of those fun things that I try to do every year but don’t always get to.  (like this year…  although there’s still time??  maybe tomorrow??  There’s always Tollhouse break’n bake.)
Do you have any special pre-holiday tradtions?

xoxo, Lauren

BOOK SERVICE: (206) 348-1971 Eco-Friendly. Green. Non-Toxic. Safe. Effective. After embarking on an eco-conscious lifestyle, PUR Home founder Angela Richardson was driven to create natural household, cleaning, and skincare products using only the best in plant-based ingredients. Today, this natural and nontoxic line includes laundry detergents, all-in-one concentrates, and multi-surface cleaners that are just as biodegradable as they are effective. Formulated in the USA, PUR Home products are safe for your family, pets, home—and Mother Earth. 2019 Science Update Fill a jar with (organic) citrus peels and pour undiluted white vinegar over them. Leave for a few days (up to 2 weeks) and strain out the vinegar to use as a natural cleaner. It works as a window cleaner (dilute with water), for mopping floors, or for disinfecting surfaces. http://mundododesenho.com.br/forum-ODDL2/profile/flordonato10251/ While you won’t use a carpet cleaner as regularly as a vacuum cleaner, it can be a very worthwhile investment for a carpeted home to keep the carpets looking clean, fresh and bright. There are some marks and stains that a vacuum cleaner or even a cleaning liquid, sponge and a lot of elbow grease just can’t get out. You don’t have to use a machine to clean smaller areas of carpet. In fact, you could try using simple homemade carpet cleaners which can be highly effective on moderately soiled areas but always patch test first. Homemade carpet cleaners include white vinegar and baking soda. Add equal volumes of salt and white vinegar into a bowl and mix it into a paste. Apply your homemade carpet cleaner to the stain, allow it to dry for around 60 minutes, and then vacuum. With the baking soda homemade carpet cleaner, you sprinkle it onto carpets that don’t smell great and wait for an hour or so before vacuuming.
