Welcome to the holidays around the Parker house! It has begun!
I’m baking this year. At least I’m trying to bake this year. So far, I’ve tried my hand at cinnamon raisin bread:
pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, apple butter muffins, oh, and I might’ve had this shade of burnt at least a couple times too:
But we’re not talkin’ ’bout that.
I’m workin’ on gifts for my kiddos.
We’re makin’ “Countdown to Christmas” chains.
We’re still fittin’ in Stars Wars lapbooks (yes, Maury, I have plans already to share as soon as I get it together!) unit studies on Thanksgiving, pre-school alphabet lapbooks, and all the normal excitement that comes with this time of year.
I’m also learning how to homestead. Yes, I am! My compost bin needs to be stirred around. We’ve dried pumpkin seeds and appleseeds. I have beans in the crockpot almost constantly.
I’m trying to start a shop.
We’ve had a bonfire with those boxes, a camp out in the front yard that ended with us sleeping inside (it’s cold out there, people!)
So, I tell you this to say, I may not be here as much as I’d like. But don’t be discouraged. I’ve finally figured out how to offer you a bold subscription to my site. I still don’t really know how it all works (y’all just thinkI’m smart at this technology stuff) – but I do know if you click on the little picture of me at the very top of the site – the one that talks about “learnin’ young’ns” or the rotating pictures of everybody over there on the sidebar it will offer you a thingy (or, heck, that link right up there!) that will let you know when I post. I think. Those of you who know more than me please leave me a comment explainin’ this a little better. And those of you who don’t have a clue what I’m talkin’ about just keep doin’ what your doin’ and disreguard this whole paragraph. Mom and Nana, just call me – I’ll talk y’all through it – I think you would love it!
And I’m cleaning my house one day at a time, shining my sink, and learning to FLY. While you’re waiting on me to post (you know, because you have nothing better to do, right?!) you should try it too. Flylady’s so cool!
I hope your holidays are as fun and filled as ours are!
