12 days until Christmas and like you, my holiday ‘To Do’ list is out of control!
Today was a very productive day….
I addressed, stamped and mailed 100 holiday cards,
visited 6 stores, including Starbucks for a much needed extra dose of liquid energy,
baked 7 dozen cookies (sugar, chocolate chip oatmeal and peanut butter) with the help of a pint-sized sous chef,
did 5 loads of laundry (sadly, underwear still needs to be washedΒ even though it’s the holiday season),
managed to find an hour to walk 4 miles,
listened to 3 hours of Christmas music,
savored 2 glasses of well-deserved wine,
gave 1 time out,
and ate countless cookies.
Turns out the problem with baking seven dozen cookies is that Lucas had two and was over it. I’m still eating them!
Good thing I am giving the rest away as gifts.
I hope your holiday prep is going well and that the sous chef in your life makes you smile as much as mine.Β

That’s a lot of Christmas cards!
I wish laundry would stop for the holidays. Would be a lovely break.
We actually send 200! It’s a day by day process. Today they will all be mailed. Whew!
Oh my, you fit a lot into your days!!
Those cookies look delish.
It’s rare that I have such a productive day, hence having to share. π
And today, I’m exhausted!!
Holy crap that’s a LOT in one day!
I am a bit jealous. This weekend will be a treat-a-thon for me…I am sure I will post pictures too.
Also? how flipping cute is Lucas!?
Can’t wait to see what you make.
Lucas was awesome. He loved rolling out the dough and pushing in the cookie cutters. He was a pro decorator too, but when it came time to eating the final product, he wasn’t that interested. Strange kid.
Love your countdown! I’m envious of how much you got done yesterday.
I still have a ton to do but Amelia’s been home sick which means it’ll be down to the wire for me this year. I hate rushing around at the last minute.
Even once in a while I have a day like yesterday and it makes me very happy. Good luck with all of your holiday prep. π
I hear you on the cookies! Of the 7 dozen chocolate chip cookies we just baked, at least 3 dozen of them ended up straight on my hips! Looks like lots of fun at your house!
I shutter at the thought of how much weight I’m going to gain this month. Ugh!
Hope your holiday is shaping up nicely.
Hee! Oh my, the busy-ness of it all is enough to make you dizzy, isn’t it? Love the ‘lil helper! He’s adorable! xo
Thanks, we had a lot of fun yesterday, but boy was mama tired today! Too much time on my feet. Hope your holidays are shaping up nicely!
100 cards?? I am impressed. And stunned.
If you need help eating those 7 dozen cookies, I’ll be right over. π
We actually send 200!! Crazy, right? Crazy and stupid.
Wow–that’s a LOT of Christmas cards! Love these pictures and those cookies look delicious. Hope you are enjoying the holiday season!
We had a lot of fun baking together. I may have started a new tradition. π
Wow, awesome! I’m impressed.
I don’t have a little sous-chef. π
That was quite a productive day indeed. Those cookies were very tasty! I wish that I still had some.
