We made it through Friday the 13th, and now it’s the start of another week! I hope that everyone was able to relax and have some fun.
Friday
On Friday I worked on a DIY Christmas wreath. I’ve had most of the materials laying on my office floor for a while, but finally started putting them together. One down, only nine more to go. My goal is to get a tutorial on the blog ASAP.
On Friday the girls and I made a batch of chocolate peppermint cookie dough. I made some a few years ago for the blog, but I wanted to revamp the recipe, and more importantly take some better pictures. The dough can be used for a variety of cookies, and on Friday we made ones with M&Ms.
Friday night Matt played Friday the 13th on X-Box with some friends, and I worked a bit on my blog. Mainly I revamped my Pinterest strategy (again) since the algorithm has changed. Again. Now they want content creators to pin only fresh new pins.
Saturday
On Saturday we just sort of bummed around the house. The girls and I finished making different types of peppermint cookies (using the same batter from yesterday). I’ll eventually post a recipe on the blog.
I also finished my waistcoat stitch mittens! I am so happy with how they turned out. Once again, it’s another item that I hope to get on the blog sometime in the near future. 🙂
Matt and I watched the Spartans that night, which was a sad, sad, game. This clearly is not going to be a good year. But at least we beat Michigan….
Sunday
Sunday was another day of bumming around the house. We put the dinning room back in order, which was so nice. We had moved the furniture a few weeks ago so I could clean the carpet, and I was finally able to do it.
I also worked a little more on Aubrie’s stocking. There is so much more to go!! Taking bets on if I’ll finish it by Christmas.
