I am ready to try my hand at something new and I want it to be cinnamon rolls. Your pizza dough sounds good though. I will have to ask you for it. Sometimes the thing that takes 24 hours to make is the best dangest thing to eat. Bettering yourself is a noble effort. I like to think some of my goals will help in bettering myself too. I won't cut out Starbucks (I don't really go all that often so it is a nice treat) and I don't watch any news but I do know I need to walk outside more and eat more veggies. <3 Here's to less anxiety and rage, my friend! And hope you are enjoying your new nest.

I melted the candy corn birthday cake (it was kinda plastic and "meh" on cold sniff but I held out hope when warmed) it ended up warming better than the cold sniff but it was pretty much just a vanilla scent to my nose. Nothing hollered out candy corn. <br /><br />Thank you! I always suck at resolutions. And I almost never completely accomplish my goals but setting them in and of itself usually gives me some type of guidance and makes me feel good when I do cross one off. I hope your mini goals are reached!!! Even if only one is that is pretty cool. <br /><br />I hear ya on not feeling 100% healthy. Adam has had a fever the past three days and now Scarlette does. We took her to the doctor and she has the flu. I have so many students out sick right now. This is one bad cold and flu season for sure. I hope you guys get to feeling better soon. <br />xoxoTheRedolentMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025330454820306972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-37137967194877083582020-01-09T11:13:20.830-05:002020-01-09T11:13:20.830-05:00Glad to see those cinnamon buns made the cut again...Glad to see those cinnamon buns made the cut again. ;) But seriously, dude, yeast baking is HARD. And not just on the forearms! I *did* recently master, if I might be so bold in saying, pan pizza dough, but you're screwed if you wake up in the morning and think, "I'd like pizza tonight." It's delicious and ultimately so worth it, but you've got to start it 24 hours in advance, so there's zero spontaneity with this one! Friggin' yeast baking, why do you have to be so difficult?<br /><br />I've got a couple of resolutions this year, mostly of the "better yourself" variety. I really need to get out more, and face my life in a more direct, head-on manner. Also cut out Starbucks and CNN, because they both fill me with anxiety and rage. So, you know, totally easy stuff!Sandra Lewreyhttp://fingercandy.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-6410504795875149732020-01-05T10:15:41.749-05:002020-01-05T10:15:41.749-05:00Gorgeous photos!

I don't really have *real* new year resolutions, other than 1) eat healthier, 2) buy less and use more, 3) learn, learn, learn.<br />I hope 2020 treats you well!Nina bunnyechoeshttp://bunnyechoes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810618299009561680.post-40425418898336739332020-01-04T22:31:36.007-05:002020-01-04T22:31:36.007-05:00Please let me know how that SMT blend is!!

Candy Corn sounds absolutely terrible in wax, but for some reason, I definitely want to try a candy corn blend or two in the future. Lol<br />Great photos. Beautiful ladies you have there. Your upcoming trips sound wonderful and I hope they turn out to be. :)<br />I'm not making official resolutions, but I'm going to try something new.. maybe little, doable monthly goals. A handful of things I need to do, would like to do or see get done finally, but for some reason I just never accomplish and I'm sick of feeling I'm always coming up short. So, we'll see how I do for the month of January. See if it's a good goal setting program for myself. I'm excited. <br />We got a resurgence of our head/chest colds. I can't say we've been 100% since Thanksgiving. So, that's super duper lame, but I'm trying to take care of us as best as I can!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456321651492337696noreply@blogger.com
