...on my mind

-35 weeks pregnant today. Wow-wee! It's getting close. Haven't purchased anything for this little one. Relying on my storage of baby items to get me through. Maybe I should pull them out to see if I have everything I need? My last baby boy was a summer babe, so I may be in need of winter items. Loving this little outfit from Old Navy. Wouldn't that be perfect for bringing my baby home? I think so...

-2 weeks until Christmas. Starting to panic. I'll be full term Christmas Day. I have so much to do before this little baby arrives. Stocking stuffers to buy, cleaning to do, designs to complete, maternity leave instructions to give, parties to plan. I better get cracking. No more messing around with my computer camera...my kids favorite thing to do with me. Must.Keep.Working.

-Planning my neighbor gifts. Had expected to get them out last week, but alas, time ran away from me. Determined to get them out this week. Moon Bars or Cranberry Bars? Mmmm... Maybe both. (Recipes will for sure be added once I am done. Too good not to share.)

-Thinking about making Latkes for dinner tonight. Became a major fan of them in 3rd grade after giving an oral report on Hanukkah. Mom and I had to try out all the traditional Hanukkah recipes. You know us. Food...it is an important part of research!

-So grateful for wonderful news last night. My sweet friend, Meg, found out her cancer is in complete remission. This year, she lost her baby boy and found out she had cancer in a matter of months. So glad she received this tender mercy just weeks before Christmas. Shed a few tears of happiness for her yesterday and am still smiling today. Love you, Meg!!

-Hoping you are all enjoying beautiful December this year and are spending lots of time with loved ones. My husband finishes finals next week. We are planning lots of cuddle/movie/cider time once he and I are less busy. Cannot wait!
