Merry Christmas!

I fear I was a little ambitious with my monthly challenge. I've decided to throw December's challenge out the window. I'm too busy to even think about new meals! I did make a chili last night that was delicious but it hardly counts as a new meal because I've made it a few times, it's just always a little different. Speaking of chili, perhaps I'll have myself a little helping now...

Yum!

Well, since my mother has gotten here, we have been quite busy! We've been shopping and visiting friends every day and it's going to continue into Christmas Eve. She still needs to get a gift for Lil' Squirt at the mall, *gasp*! I know, I know. The mall so close to Christmas! Perhaps it won't be so busy though since people will already be starting their family celebrations. Yeah right! We've also made gingerbread houses and Cream Cheese Spritz cookies, which were to die for!

So I have a question for you. What kinds of things would you like to read about? What sort of topics should I post about? I have a few ideas, but none that are really all that interesting. I feel like I should have a monthly challenge but I need some ideas on challenges as well. Leave a comment with some ideas and feedback. Please!!

I hope you all have a safe, happy, and delightful Christmas!

    Merry Christmas, Irene (and fam!)!! Sounds like you've been super busy but I hope that even in the chaos surrounding Christmas that you are also finding rest. :)

    Well, I think monthly challenges sounds like a great idea! I posted a challenge on my blog yesterday so check it out and see if that's a challenge you might want to participate in. It's not a month challenge, though, so let me think of some ideas.

    -A photography challenge might be fun. Like each week post 1 picture per day (you could post 7 pics at a time to cut down on daily posting) but maybe have restrictions. Like the photo has to be about that day but include no faces (to make it more challenging than just snapping 31 pictures of your CUTE baby boy! ;) )

    -A random act of kindness challenge. Blog about the effects of "sneak attack" acts of kindness. That might be a little hard...but it's an idea.

    -An A-Z challenge. Each post (or lump some letters together for less posting) has a topic about that letter (So, A then B then C, etc.)

    I'll keep thinking and let you know if I have any other ideas ;)

    And, ps- if you participate in my challenge you'll be entered into a sweet drawing! :) haha.

    I just like to hear about the everyday things--the funny face Lil' Squirt made, a shopping trip's adventures, the latest meal you cooked for dinner, the crafts you're up to, etc.

    In between all those posts, it would be neat to keep a running theme like you've been doing. Just so you know, I'm really enjoying your blog! :)
