It's been a pretty blah week in these parts. There are so many things I'm currently over: snow, being pregnant, darkness, winter (which btw technically has not actually started, just kill me), and crazy kids who need a vacation. BUT, who wants to hear me whine? Not me. Plus, a 13 day vacation begins this afternoon at 3pm. So, let's get positive. Here are some of my current favorites:
Books: Just finished two great books- gave them both 5 stars.
Podcasts: I've been loving listening to podcasts lately. My current favorites are: The Art of Simple and Stuff Mom Never Told You.
Dessert: Christmas cookies
Snack Food: Goldfish crackers… not only do they taste good, but adding this extra salt each day has completely cured my pregnancy dizziness. Amazing!
Moment this Week: Gingerbread House decorating with some of my favorite kiddos.
On the Web: When You Let Your Kid Play Ball In the House
Blog Post: the everyday: morning and night edition
Christmas Song: Christmas in Dixie, Kenny Chesney

LOVED the story teller! Such a great book. I haven't read the other one, so will have to mark it Goodreads to read :)
ReplyDeleteI need to read Story Teller since you, and 2 others, have recommended it! My favorite book I read this month was called 'The Little Way of Ruthie Leming'. It is actually a memoir and is a sad story, but I started and finished it on my Paris flight! Right now I am reading JK Rowling's book, Cuckoo's Calling. It's well written and I am curious to see who the culprit is (it's a murder mystery) but since I don't love that genre, I can't say I love the book...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite things this month to eat is veggies that steam in the bag in the microwave, cuties, the fact that I fly home today and getting 4.5 days off from work starting at 11 today! :)
Hooray for your Christmas break being here! I hope it's relaxing and restorative for you!!
Love the Storyteller, Goldfish, Ashlee's blog post (sooo cute!). Putting the podcasts and the other book on my list. WOO 8 more hours!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Sarah Jio's new book but it's not at my library yet! I also gave the Story Teller five stars -- so so good!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your 13 days off! I have the rest of today to work and then have to work until noon on Monday and then I get 9 days off in a row. I CANNOT WAIT!
YUM. Goldfish. They may be on my next grocery list. I haven't had them in ages.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about Christmas books, music and movies right now. So boring, right? =)
Have a great vacation! mine starts today at 5pm and I'm So. Excited.

ReplyDeleteA great source of 2013 books to pick through.
My favorites recently have been these dark chocolate balls with things like acai, pomegranite and gogi. Mmmmm. (http://www.brooksidechocolate.com/Usa/Products/dark-chocolate-goji)
