Holly Jolly

Quite a beautiful and festive evening over here <3 After Zumba, I came home to make the cinnamon roll dough (which I just discovered was exploding out of the mixing bowl- a few TurboFire punches took care of that) and we got ready to head to my dadoo’s house for Christmas Eve dinner.

A year ago

It was my first year of squadron holiday parties, decorating…

Cookie Party

Nothing makes a house smell strangely amazing like the aroma of macaroons dehydrating and a pot of fresh refried beans on the stove. (I’ll probably do a bean tutorial sometime soon- they’re super easy, and sooooo good) It was an afternoon of dancing over here: I took a Zumba class at work, and a couple…

What’s in the bag

With the exception of a few things and Tom’s clothes –he just has to pick out what he wants to take (comfy clothes, a swimsuit for the bath if he feels like joining me, man stuff)- the suitcase is pretty much packed and ready to go. Here’s what we’ll be taking along with us on…
