If I could have anything in the world it would be less stress. Now that includes a lot. It means knowing the bills will all be paid, it means the house is clean and there is plenty of time for sleep. In today’s world this is impossible, not even all the money in the world could mean you never stress. It just always seems like there is so much going on and so much left to be done, like a to-do list that adds to itself as you go.  So if I could have anything it would be a little peace maybe just a little less to think about.

My kids mean more to me then anything else in the world. I know it sounds cliché but it’s the truth I would do anything to make sure they have the best childhood possible. Now I know not everything can be perfect and I do not even pretend to expect it but I sure do try. I want them to grow up with fond memories of craft projects and family games. I never want them afraid to tell me anything at all and them to know I love them no matter what. I know, I know, it’s a sugar coated world but it is what matters most to me.

My holiday plans in a nutshell- cookies! I am the baker in my family, the only baker in my family and for years now it has meant one thing is expected of me at Christmas. I bake cookies, hundreds and hundreds of cookies. There is a bag for everyone that shows up to my Grandmas house for Christmas even if they were not expected, plus a tray of cookies and fudge to eat at the party. For me this means that the entire week before is filled with cookie cutters and colored sugars. It my sound like a lot of work but I love it!
