prudent living - simple solutions - joyful journey
Last Thursday I had another girls Christmas party. Last year was so much fun and this year was great, if not better. Last year we did desserts, but didn’t do the recipe exchange part of it (just enjoyed some treats after dinner). This year, I made a recipe book so we could all exchange recipes.

I had this post for yesterday, but my blog was being weird so I’m just now uploading it today (I didn’t feel like making it present tense for the sake of it being posted a day later) 🙂 It’s Wednesday, 2 days away from Maddox’s 2nd birthday party and our house looked like this just a few days ago… Was I an idiot for cutting
