Shower Cleaner

I found a product that I absolutely love. I don't know how I have lived without it all these years. I found this product a few months ago. It is called Wet and Forget Shower. You spray it on the shower and shower curtain once a week. It keeps the shower clean. It really works.

Jar's Workout Goal

Jar has a goal set for himself...to be buff before his 16th birthday next year. He has really been working hard to get there.

Getting ready for Christmas

I like to do just a few special things for Christmas. I always make M & M cookies...because they are our favorite Christmas cookie. I also made pretzel hugs for the first time, and they ended up being one of our favorites.

I made the boys a special breakfast

Lily was obsessed with these little hats that Sherry sent the boys gifts in...she loved the pom pom on top

I colored my hair in preparation for Christmas

I did some organizing before Christmas
