1. What are you most excited for this week? Charlie's birthday on Thursday and party on Sunday! MH and I are really looking forward to giving him our presents on Thurs. I just hope he's feeling well enough by then to enjoy them.

2. What's your favorite holiday dish/dessert? Mashed potatoes, pecan pie, Christmas cookies (gingerbread men, snowballs, candycane cookies, chocolate covered cherry cookies, sugar cookies)

I'm hungry this morning.

3. Read any good books lately? Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty, was really good.

4. What is your favorite household chore? Dishes/kitchen cleanup.

5. What's your least favorite household chore? Vacuuming, sweeping, mopping.

6. Are you done Christmas/birthday present shopping? Haha, nope. Birthday, yes, Christmas not even close.

7. Any good stocking stuffer ideas for LOs/SOs? For C we have a little board book (First 100 Words), we will probably add in a taggie/lovey, not sure what else. For MH, I have no idea, I struggle with this every year. Usually some snacks/candy, maybe some of his body spray & deodorant that he likes.

8. What would your super hero power be? Freeze time, so I can get some things done!

9. Favorite holiday movie? Love Actually

10. Try any good recipes lately that you can share here? (or alternatively, anything you're looking for a good recipe for, maybe we can help you out?) I haven't done much cooking at all lately, so I stuck this question in here to get some ideas Crockpot/easy recipes welcome!

1. What are you most excited for this week? Nothing too special is happening this week. Surviving.
2. What's your favorite holiday dish/dessert? Cheesy potatoes, I guess. I can't really have any of my favorite dishes anymore.
3. Read any good books lately? I am OBSESSED with listening to the Her Royal Spyness series on audible. The narrator is amazing (seriously, give that woman an award!) and the mysteries are light enough to not be a downer. AND OMG the love interest. I'm relistening to all of them now. DH enjoys them too. We've been listening to them before bed the last few nights. I can't believe I have to wait a year until the next one now. These books are getting me through each day right now
4. What is your favorite household chore? Laundry
5. What's your least favorite household chore? cleaning bathrooms (toilet and tub)
6. Are you done Christmas/birthday present shopping? barely started
7. Any good stocking stuffer ideas for LOs/SOs? I got DH a little lego set. Clara is going to get ballet slippers and candy. I got a book for Margs. I need more ideas for her.
8. What would your super hero power be? I think I need a list of ideas to pick one...
9. Favorite holiday movie? Oh gosh, all of them. I used to love watching all the Hallmark/lifetime christmas movies but no cable makes that tricky now. I actually bought one on DVD a few years back- the Christmas Card. DH likes to tease me.
10. Try any good recipes lately that you can share here? (or alternatively, anything you're looking for a good recipe for, maybe we can help you out?) Actually, I could use a little help with something! I bought a small boneless black forest ham that is cooked. How do I heat it? I have some pineapple and was thinking of making some type of potato side. Any suggestions?

byjove We just heated a ham this past weekend. We wrapped it in foil and put it in a glass baking dish. I think it said 10 minutes per pound at 275. We also put a pan of water in with it to keep it moist. It was delicious! The Honeybaked website has suggestions.

1. What are you most excited for this week? Uh, being back on our schedule. The kids really do so much better with a weekly schedule.

2. What's your favorite holiday dish/dessert? We make a super delicious coffee cake for Christmas morning to eat while opening. Then snack on it the rest of the day of course.

3. Read any good books lately? Nope. Zero time.

4. What is your favorite household chore? Laundry.

5. What's your least favorite household chore? Cleaning bathrooms.

6. Are you done Christmas/birthday present shopping? Nope. Getting there though. I know what the rest of the gifts for the kids are for the most part. Need stuff for my mom. DH and I are just doing stockings this year so I need that stuff and teacher gifts.

7. Any good stocking stuffer ideas for LOs/SOs? The baby is getting some bath toys, and a wooden chicken that rolls across the floor. All the kids will get bubbles and toothbrushes. The older two will get different coloring tools and coloring books rolled up. Oh and I also found these cute knit dolls that will be peaking out the top for each of them. I will add age appropriate snacks for the older two as well. I have no idea what to get H. I kinda wish we hadn't done adult stockings lol.

8. What would your super hero power be? Not needing to sleep.

9. Favorite holiday movie? The Santa Clause

10. Try any good recipes lately that you can share here? (or alternatively, anything you're looking for a good recipe for, maybe we can help you out?) I made a cookie pie on Saturday. Did I say that somewhere else already? My family LOVED it. I thought it was good but I'm not like, in love with it the way my H is lol.

Same, only our ham package had cook temp of 350.

COCO, No, but both websites have a ton of recipes. I just picked up the against all grain celebrations cook book hoping for some Christmas ideas.

DoesItComeInPink, awesome update! My mom and DH have both done the Ancestry DNA kit. It is so cool. Either my dad needs to do it, or I need to do it for the sake of me, my sisters, and our girls We learned some neat things- like I have a small amount of eastern europen jewish heritage. If you are at all interested I'd do it!

Same! She is my favorite author these days. I just saw they made Big Little Lies into a movie, I am definitely dragging MH to that.

1. What are you most excited for this week? Taking Friday off to put up the tree and then taking an overnight road trip with my H and M.

2. What's your favorite holiday dish/dessert? I love mashed potatoes and my family's secret ham gravy

3. Read any good books lately? I am re-reading the The Death Cure and then The Kill Order (from the Maze Runner series) in preparation of reading the new book in the series, The Fever Code, that came out in September. But considering I have so little free time it is taking forever to read. I listened to the audio book of The Good Girl a while ago. It was meh but a decent distraction on my commute.

4. What is your favorite household chore? Uh, what, does not compute. I don't hate vacuuming.

5. What's your least favorite household chore? I HATE cleaning the bathtub/shower surround.

6. Are you done Christmas/birthday present shopping? I have all of the big gifts for M purchased. My H and I are only doing stockings so I need to figure that out.

7. Any good stocking stuffer ideas for LOs/SOs? M will get a couple of books and maybe some bath toys, perhaps some snacks. I have NO idea for H.

8. What would your super hero power be? I would like invisibility or flight.

9. Favorite holiday movie? My favorites are probably Elf, Love Actually, and Christmas Vacation.

10. Try any good recipes lately that you can share here? (or alternatively, anything you're looking for a good recipe for, maybe we can help you out?) I haven't cooked much outside of easy dinners for what seems like ever. I need to meal plan one of these days and get back into making some stuff. H and I both feel fat and not having healthy options is not helping us at the least.
