My blogging posts and photos are part of me . I think of this as a scrapbook of my life. The names have not been changed.. they are real people who have crossed my path along my journey. Some I know intimately, my family and friends. If their names are mentioned it's a sure sign they are special to me and I love them dearly...come along see for yourself, perhaps you know some of them too..
Are you feeling the stress yet? Buying or making gifts, wrapping the gifts, decorating the house, slipping in a party or two. oh yes, the Christmas cards need to be written & mailed too...along with the packages headed out of town. Those who know me are aware that Christmas and everything to do with it makes me Happy.... I love to decorate, entertain friends & family, and sometimes find it a bit overwhelming as I believe many of you do too. This year I promised myself to "Chill a bit" and do things slowly. Plan ahead and start each day with a small project. I can bake a bit, wrap a bit, write cards and decorate a bit....There is plenty of time before that big day. I baked today for an exchange I forgot about... * I guess I was so relaxed I forgot to put that one on my calendar... Cookies made easy.. Details for Betty Crocker to the rescue posted on "this hens a cookin". One of my Christmas gift purchases arrived UPS today and that relieved another stress, I have learned that online shopping sometimes really saves time & with coupons & discounts I am within my Christmas budget.. So I can relax and enjoy the next few days... did I mention My husband has a Birthday next week ? Just one more thing on the list and we are going to go out for a quiet dinner.. leaving me more time to bake for the holidays. did I forget anything... Probably but I still have 15 days...and a list that is getting shorter... I think..
It's only One acre but a lot goes on here, It's where my heart is and we call home, where I will share what I am busy doing, seeing and dreaming. I hope you can stay awhile but watch where you step, the chickens are always out here when not laying those delicious eggs And Dont forget to leave me a comment.I Look forward to reading them.
See what "This Hens' a cookin". Just click on the egg carton & it will take you right into the kitchen.
