Currently, Gingerbread Fun and a Freebie!

Vampire Diaries...I'm waiting to see how it plays out without Elena this season.
Amazon.Has.Everything. I love it!
My to-do list is growing. I have a lot of my shopping done(Amazon!) but there is still much to do.
I need a chef. And a chef who buys the food too. (Grocery shopping is on the to-do list...)
Wrapping...haven't started. We use comics for most of the kid's gifts, so that makes it very inexpensive.
Faux tree. I just can't deal with a real tree. The needles!

Aren't these Gingerbread men the preschoolers made super cute? I could see doing this as a glyph with the kindergartners.

I really like the frosting on these houses. It adds that perfect touch!

I'm a few episodes behind on Shark Tank. I really enjoying the Sharks sniping each other, as well as the products! I think Robert is my favorite.
The house is quiet today and that means I can get things done(like Currently :)).
Dinner...probably something frozen. I am not feeling like cooking.
Chocolate...all the Halloween candy is Milk Chocolate. Really.
Laundry...never ends.
Pumpkin bread is my favorite, but is hard to bake just right. Sometimes it's not done in the middle and sometimes it's overcooked. Tricky!

Currently July

BB...I am just meeting the "houseguests". So far I think the guys are pretty awesome.

Summer...is just wonderful. The weather could be nicer, but it's not too hot.

The yard...aka the jungle. It is a never ending job. The weeds we pulled last week are already back.
There's a tree growing into my son's window. I have two plants that are still in the plastic pots I bought them in. But the mosquitoes are baddddd. So....maybe later. Or tomorrow.

Lunch...No idea. The grocery store is another item on the list of things to do.

Needing...getting dressed takes longer these days. {*summer}

I love to organize. But I have no motivation for it today. (see BB above)   :)

Dare to Dream #tptsellerchallenge Week 2

Target is so good at getting me to spend money! My Target habit is under control this week. One day I went in and only bought 2 items. (Even the cashier said I stuck to my mission. Hopefully, she did not recognize me. It is very possible they know me there.)  So far, I have only spent $3 in the new BTS section. :)

I have been looking for a new job for awhile now. So in the meantime, any TPT earnings help. :)

My family loves to travel. Even short weekend trips are fun for my kids. We like to go places we've been, and try new places. :)
