Weekly Wrap Up and A giveaway


Happy Friday the 13th!



Are you superstitious?  I am not, but this morning my treadmill stopped working properly putting my morning workout in jeopardy 8(

It was a cold and rainy weather week so a lot of inside happenings...


  • Since we went to see the new Peanuts Movie last weekend, we decided to study Charles M. Schulz this week for Masterpiece Monday. 
  • The Giving Tree studies and a lot of seasonal books. 
  • The library had a fun program also that the girls and I went to.

  • The weather did not stop us from some charity/community service this week. 
  • Going to the local dollar store to purchase items for our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. 
  • All year we collect our change and bring it to "cash in" so we can donate to the local food pantry. This year we saved up over $ 70 to donate!  I was proud of them and they were happy to turn it all over. 
  • Sammie is testing for her next belt next Friday and has been doing great in class. We are so proud of her dedication and commitment. 

  • Lots of fun studies at home. 
  • Where are We Wednesday brought us to Arizona this week.
  • Play-doh made an appearance for over 4 hours one afternoon.
  • My ONLY Thanksgiving decoration - LEGO Thanksgiving - do you need more?

Last soccer games of the season.

I have minor surgery next Thursday and could use some prayers. Anytime I am put under anesthesia I worry.  Already prepped meals and have my ducks in a row. Hubby is taking the day off to help out.  Probably won't have a post next week since typing will be hard (surgery is on my right hand).  

My friend, John, at CrossTimber is having a wonderful giveaway until Nov. 29th. I encourage you to check out his website and enter.

Enjoy the weekend and you can find me linking up at these awesome blogs:

Prayers for your surgery. Lego decorations sound like something my son would be all for! I blogged about our shoeboxes early this week. My kids love buying and stuffing the boxes!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
