We're off to a pretty Good Start......

WOW! I am already almost half way through the first month of the new year and I haven't written a thing? What on earth?!

Holidays were GREAT! The In-Law hosted event at our home went off without a hitch, and we had A TON of food leftover...but I loved snacking on it, so I was pleased. My little family appreciated all of the stuff underneath the tree....even the handmade items...BONUS!

I made this lip gloss (which is ridiculously simple) and my girls loved it...now I am passing it around to my lady friends...it feels nice to be able to say "I made that!"

Along the lines of making stuff, I have had some more free time lately...due to me trimming down my hours at one of our businesses....I needed to get my home in order...anyway....I have made, my own dish detergent (which ROCKS by the way), I am in process of making a laundry detergent as well....a nice fragrance one, I made this awesome stain remover for laundry ...SOOOOO SIMPLE, and I made my daughter some homemade shaving cream...I must admit I am feelin PRETTY domestic...almost like June Cleaver domestic but without the heels and apron.....

My laundry is all caught up, washed, dried, folded AND PUT AWAY!!! WOOHOO (insert little victory dance here) I am rearranging our downstairs to finish it for a family den...which is also going to rock! I have everything where I need it to be, which is so much less stressful.

I make well-planned home cooked meals every night for my family...which is so fulfilling.....

I have to say that this year is off to a great start! i hope this keeps up! I guess that's it for now...until next time!
