Today will not be productive.

This is what 2/3 of our household looks like today. Sick. Sick. Sick. I see chicken soup in our future, and LOTS of movies. To top it all off, it's freezing out today! For Central Arizona, 28 degrees is like the Yukon.

Back to Blogging.

Now that I have a point and shoot camera again, I am back to blogging. Between not having a point and shoot, kidney surgery, and a battery of fall illnesses in our house, I had NO time to blog, let alone do anything else. I really missed sharing here in this place, and what better time of year to hop back on the bandwagon, than right before Christmas baking!! I think I love blogging about food and crafts as much as I like making them.

On an "impoverished" note, we are trying to avoid a second car payment and lower our gas bill, therefore, I walk the two younger kids to school every day, morning and night. It's about 4 miles total for me each day, and two for them, since they only go one way. Normally I really enjoy our walks, but the past few days have been FREEZING here in the desert (literally) and I have been an ice cube each morning when I get back home. On the bright side, I think I'm burning more calories, right? Today I took one for the team and walked to and from school one extra time in the middle of the day to have lunch with Stella and Ty, and as you can see below, it was effort well spent. :)
