Busy Busy

I've been keeping myself busy this week with doing some more freezer cooking/baking and working on the Christmas list and budget or lack thereof :(

Here's what I've been cooking/baking...

You can find the recipes at my recipe blog here.

My Christmas shopping for the girls is coming along fairly well but sadly there won't be much money left after that because we don't believe in adding debt for gifts, we only buy what we can pay for in cash. But I'm ok with that, Christmas is for the kids and I do still plan on making my fudge for everyone! As I've been doing my shopping for the girls a little at a time, I've been reminding myself just how lucky we are that we are able to afford these things. We all need to remember that right now there are MANY families that can't afford the basics much less extras like nice Christmas presents!
