Christmas Cookie Cutters ; Getting ready for cookie exchange and baking in general ( always go with the metal cookie cutter if your going to buy some, not the flimsy metal looking ones , these last longer and are easier to use)

November - Christmas is Coming



New Blue shirt find, so pretty but sporty

24K Glow Mask : Touch of Gold added 

Christmas Calendar ; It's a fun thing to start with my daughter, the good chocolate ones are $12.99 and I just can't do it lol I kinda want to do my own version of this, but with a variety of choc. and small toys.

New Drinking Cups ; Switching it up and these ones are easier to clean, plus they have cute penguins on them

Potty ; Getting a game plan started :D 

PC baby snacks/food ; I find if she wont eat certain things, baby food is an easy way to get her to eat the nutrients she needs. With a cheaper price, comparing for the most part are the same as brand name, always check Sodium though


It may seem like a lot of teething toys, however I have learned that they all work in different ways depending on what teeth are growing in.

1. The pacifier ones are great for the beginning of teething, when she would still take a pacifier, although they don't stay cold for long so I have a couple to take and replace when she still needed relief. 

2. The Monkey, Butterfly and Purse are more for when she had the coordination to lift, use both hands and place the toy where it hurt. They are a bit heavier but stay frozen the longest

3. The stars are awesome and I wished I had froze them earlier, they can hit parts of the mouth the others can't so that is where she is now (16months) Plus  they're light so you could use them at the beginning of teething. They stay cold longer than the pacifiers but not as long as the Monkey, Butterfly and Purse

Tables



Christmas Center piece - Present from a friend last year, yes its before Nov 11th but it's the only decor I have out and I know how important Remembrance Day is, esp to my family.

Items to make something awesome :P I do not want to disclose until I have it ready lol

I'm making Applesauce & Oatmeal , delicious, 


2 sliced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch salt in the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour in 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 cups of milk and 2 cups water.
Do NOT stir.

Cook overnight for 8 – 9 hours on low.

Coffee & Fertility Journal - Yes, I am planning my second child, I have to because I deal with infertility. 

Household Record Book - Everyone should have one of these in their home, just like a family Calendar. It includes literally everything from important phone numbers to dates for home repairs, upcoming annual events or when appliances were bought. Keep it with the good ole fashioned phone book. 

Skin Care Samples - Because I'm cheap and enjoy anything free, plus I'm getting old and need to take better care of my skin.
