It has been awhile since I was able to post, the holidays keep things very hectic. We hosted Christmas here this year and it was a success! But we had company from 12/21 until 1/1. We have had 9 people and 8 dogs have come and gone through our doors and we survived! I desperately need to steam clean my carpets but that is a project for this weekend when little man is visiting his grandparents! I never truly appreciated all the work that goes into making Christmas magical and great for everyone until this year when I was the one doing all the work. I did have some help along the way but I mainly forged through the cooking alone! I did make a homemade pumpkin and apple pie this year and a homemade pecan and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. They all turned out pretty good. I will have to make some modifications to the apple pie but other then that it was good! I will post my recipes for them as soon as I get a free moment to find them all again!
The New Year is bringing on new challenges for me and my family. We are transferring from this area to who knows where in July. The waiting is killing me and I am desperate to know. We have areas all over the country on our dream sheet and that is making it worse! We will be turning the home we bought here into a rental and that is really scary for us. We will be first time landlords on top of moving to a new area. We will be using a rental company though, it took a lot of internal debate to come to that decision. We didn't know if it would be worth the money but in the long run we have decided it will be. This year our little guy will be conquering potty training and moving from his crib to a toddler bed.
My personal challenge is to lose weight. I am doing Weight Watchers with my mom. We are going to encourage each other, weigh in together on the phone and help each other find recipes and foods that are low in points. We are doing it without actually paying for the program, so we may be missing elements but we do have the starter kit with the food and eating out books, the pocket guide, the points plus calculator and a few other books. I am excited to try this method!
