Capture THAT. A Day In The Life

Erin has the most random link ups and that's why I love them.
I find out about them with two days to get it done, so it's a race against time and always fun.
Today's inspiration is sharing "A day in the life..." or something like that.

If this had come up a few weeks ago, I would not have bored you with my lack of action. Now that Will is home, there is a LOT of action, and it's not just in the bedroom. Buhdumdum tsshh.

Well, let's just get on with it ;)



Don't I look festive with my Christmas mug?
I use that mug year around.




My stud muffin likes to work out a lot. Now that he's home, I'm thinking I will test the waters, and at least it's extra time with him on the weekends. Let's just see if it lasts.



We are blessed with mild winters in my area of Colorado, but those low temps are finally showing up on the Doppler. That meant it was time for us to gather some wood.



While Will split the wood, I started Apple Crisp in the Crockpot with the overabundance of apples my MIL left with us. I used a generic recipe from Pinterest, but used sugar substitute (gotta regulate my sugar levels) and used a Strawberry Medley cereal for the topping. Made the house smell AMAZING.



Obviously, our life revolves around food... I'm okay with that.
We love cooking together, and we love making "bad" recipes a lot more healthy. You just can't beat homemade pizza and the slash in calories that comes with it.

But the best part...



I simply can't think of anything I'd rather be doing than snuggling by the fire with my amazing hubby. It's the little things in life that make each day special.

December 16th is my Blogiversary, so we are kicking off a giveaway today in that honor!

I can't believe that it has been two years already, and yet, it feels like just yesterday that I had an audience of none. (Hubby didn't even read at the beginning, Tsk Tsk.) Now, however, I feel incredibly blessed to call this little space my own and to have this outlet, not to mention all of the support you all give me. As such, this giveaway is to thank YOU for sticking around.

I have enlisted the help of some elves, and I must say they are the best "helpers" around.
You will love them, so show 'em some love.

Elf Kristine does our market research with her two lovely little girls. She also spreads cheer with that smile of hers, and her stinkin' cute headbands. Don't tell the {boy} elves that I told you, but they totally rock the headbands when know one is around. It holds their ears in.

Elf Alana is our house comedian. We all have those rough days when the toy line isn't in sync, the Naughty list is fluctuating, and there is no milk for the cookies (major meltdown), but she gets us laughing.  All the while looking fabulous. She doesn't let #ElfProbs get her down.

Elf Lesley is our makeup artist. The Bratz Dolls are her biggest fans, but she thinks they wear too much makeup for their age. I hear ya girl. However, I'd rather make those than those dang Furbabies. Why are those popular again?

Elf Coley handles the education. She's a Saint, because to be honest...elves can be quite unruly. They're all like "We know how to make toys. We don't need Algebra!" Oh yes you do, munchkins! It makes you more well rounded elves...or so I'm told.

Elf Cynthia keeps us fed with her love for food. Whether it be whipping up some cookies (I won't tell you who forgets to buy the milk *cough Cynthia cough*), making a hearty meal, or her laid back attitude, she can calm down the most unruly of elves. She knows the way to an elves heart is through their stomachs. Smart woman ;)
