It’s Christmas week, and my family and I are enjoying some warmer weather and time with family in sunny Florida. My friend, Mandy, from The Trenches of Motherhood shared a cookie recipe recently that made my mouth water instantly. She graciously agreed to share it with all of you, too! Enjoy (and as Mandy said,…
Did You Know?
As a child, Christmas Eve meant a busy day of cooking, a 30-minute drive to Grandma and Grandpa’s house, and en evening of food, cousins, carols, and a very entertaining white elephant gift exchange. Christmas Eve was the best day of the year. Much more exciting than Christmas Day. I knew things would change once…
Three Ways to Enjoy Christmas in the Midst of Change
Kristina from 3 Under 4 is visiting Better in Bulk today while we finish our drive to Florida. Soon I will be relaxing on Florida’s beaches. It may not be the summer, but even 74° will feel like paradise compared to the snow that we left back home in Maryland. Kristina is a fellow Blog…
Holiday Feast With Walmart (Gift Card Giveaway!)
I love cooking for the holidays. I have all of my traditional dishes that I have to cook every year (or it wouldn’t be the holidays!). My meal includes ham, a family-favorite potato dish, jello, rolls, beans, salad, and pies. Feeding my own family of 7 is pricey enough, but adding friends and family for…
And The Panic Sets In

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
Two of my favorite things about the Christmas season (besides the candy) are the lights and the music. On Monday night, we combined those two favorites with a traditional trip to the Washington DC temple for the Festival of Lights and a concert from a great local high school jazz ensemble. We enjoyed a tour…
Lipstick, a Pink Sharpie, and Merry SITSmas!
Merry SITSmas to all of my visiting SITStas today! Before I go any further, let me mention that my site is under transition today from Blogger to WordPress. Very exciting stuff….but I am having slight problems with lost posts and links. So bear with me as I finish up the transition. It will be worth…
Wordful -Thankful- Wednesday
Could it really be nearly a week ago that I sat around this table with my family and friends to eat this tasty meal? Thanksgiving was nice this year. I was more relaxed than I am on a typical day. Even after hours of cooking, I was relaxed and content. We have so much to…
Top Ten Recipes for Thanksgiving Leftovers
Thanksgiving dinner is one of my favorite meals of the year. I love to cook it, and I love eating it even more. And strangely, I seem to enjoy day two of Thanksgiving food even more than the first (could it possibly have something to do with the fact that I haven’t spent the entire…
