https://littlefellows.blogspot.com/2011/11/best-crockpot-meal-ive-tried-yet.html?m=1

The verdict: a Success and very tasty

1.) any crafts or projects: none currently. But, I have the itch to re-arrange the living room furniture soon.

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? I ask because people have a big stance on smells. I have a friend who hates cinnamon scented anything.

I do like to burn a good candle for a few hours after I've cleaned the house... I'm pretty big on smelly stuff (probably because I have the nose of a bloodhound)

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do?

Yes, some. I like the details of stuff. When it comes to just picking up I'm not that into it but, like for instance I took apart the car seat the other day wiped it down with Clorox wipes and then washed the cover, not once but twice (OCD tendencies kicking in there) lol.

4.) I've been noticing lots of Xmas stuff in the store lately even though it is not yet Halloween. How do you feel about this?

Um, I freaking love it. I'm a XMAS FREAK. Our house gets DECKED every year. Always matching white lights. It is done "tastefully" nothing tacky. I don't not mix colors and crap.

1.) any crafts or projects: None currently, but I am browsing pinterest. Thanks!

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? I love, love love candles. Vanilla, cinnamon or fresh scents, 

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do? I actually don't mind doing laundry.  Something about stuff being clean and it calming me.  I am absolutely HATE to dust though. 

4.) I've been noticing lots of Xmas stuff in the store lately even though it is not yet Halloween. How do you feel about this?  Bah! Give each holiday a chance.

I'll have to find something yummy to pin and make! I'll try to more prepared next week!

1.) any crafts or projects:

Still working on our pallet bench for the front porch, its coming along nicely

 

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? 

I have an obsession with those warmer things... lol. There is one in almost every room of my home. Soft Cashmere Amber is my all time favorite, I literally buy stores out of stock when they have them just so i never run out! lol

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do? 

HELL NO!! LOL, But no one does it right, or to my standards when they clean... and I get really bad anxiety if my house is not clean or feels cluttered.

I am sooooo excited for Christmas this year!!! We will ALL be together under the same roof for Christmas morning for the first time!! FX & GOD WILLING, NO DEPLOYMENTS OR TRAINING OR ANYTHING ELSE!! I cant wait to start our own traditions, and make a Christmas dinner. I cant wait to put my own tree up!! LOL I cant wait to finally wake up next to my husband on Christmas morning and have coffee with him while our DD opens gifts! Ahhh I could go on and on!! lol

Ha! I've made that meal, too! It was very good. I froze the leftovers and had it again.
1.) any crafts or projects: Yes, a Halloween cross stitch that I'm loving.

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? Yes, I like using my Scentsy warmer. I love fruity smells.

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do? I don't know if I LIKE doing them, but I do LOVE a clean house. I get into cleaning modes and just clean everything. I don't mind laundry either because I love clean things.

4.) I've been noticing lots of Xmas stuff in the store lately even though it is not yet Halloween. How do you feel about it? I don't mind it, but I'm having more fun looking at Halloween decorations right now. They're so tempting!

Pinned it/Tried it: I made these scalloped potatoes last night (second time I've used this recipe) and they are sooo amazing. I use all asiago cheese instead of a blend. I can't find the recipe on this computer but will repost later!

1.) any crafts or projects: I just saw this cute little DIY market on Pinterest that DH and I are going to make for DD's playroom.

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? I love burning candles, especially this time of year. I just bought some fall scents like Macintosh, Pumpkin Pie and Harvest. I also love the new Fragrance Spheres from Yankee Candle, I have a lemon one in my kitchen.

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do? I love doing laundry and won't let DH near it. Sorting it, folding it...love it all. I also don't mind vacuuming.

4.) I've been noticing lots of Xmas stuff in the store lately even though it is not yet Halloween. How do you feel about this?  I would prefer not to rush holidays and enjoy each one as they come!

@gmc222

I'm going to miss you when you get your BFP I see a lot of myself in your posts.

@Gator_Bride07

Same with you. I have mega clean freak tendencies and just like @+SouthernMomma+ clean = calm for me. Like my brain actually feel less cluttered or something. it's weird.

1.) any crafts or projects: Nothing now. I did finally get the knobs changed on my kids' dresser. Ha! 

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? I like scented candles, but I hate the sprays. I'll spray a little Febreeze here and there, but that's all. 

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do?  Lol. Good one. 

4.) I've been noticing lots of Xmas stuff in the store lately even though it is not yet Halloween. How do you feel about this?  Indifferent.

We had crockpot chicken and noodles tonight and it was very yummy! I don't have the link to it but it's easy to find on Pinterest!

1.) I have no time for crafts!
2.) I'm obsessed with scents! We have several Scentsy burners plus I spray fabric refreshers. We have 3 dogs so I'm constantly trying to make sure my house doesn't smell like dog!
3.) I'll be honest I have no anxiety at all about my house being messy. It is ALWAYS messy. I hate cleaning and don't do it near as often as I should! But, one chore I actually do kinda like is organizing DD's room, especially her clothes. I have an addiction to buying cute little girl clothes so I like looking at her outfits
4.) It makes me excited! DH and I love Christmas! It is my favorite time of year! And DD will be old enough to really get into things like presents and Elf on the Shelf this year!

@kndeckar

What is Elf on a shelf?

And I love organizing my son's room and closet. He may be a boy but, I still dress him to the nine

Pinned it/Tried it
Nothing lately  

1.) any crafts or projects: I started crocheting a hat for DD2. Fairly certain I need to start over though! I think my front post double crochet is wrong... 

2.) do you like the use of air freshener products or not ? Love candles! Currently not allowing myself into Bath and Body Works for fear of spending waaaay too much on candles and air fresheners!

3.) are there any chores you LIKE to do? I'm envious of everyone's neat-freak tendencies! I'm a SAHM and feel like I'm cleaning/picking up all. day. long. However, my house never feels deep cleaned, and by the end of the day my response to that is meh, whatevs. 

4.) I've been noticing lots of Xmas stuff in the store lately even though it is not yet Halloween. How do you feel about this? I wish stores would slow down a bit, but I do admit I love looking at everything! DH and I both love the holidays so we go all out, but like @KC1212 we aim for tasteful instead of tacky! I'm also thinking about giving Elf on a Shelf a shot this year, I know my girls would love it!

I hope I get to dress up a cute little boy one day too!!

Elf on the Shelf is a story about a little elf who comes to your house and watches kids and reports back to Santa every night! The book comes with a little stuffed Elf & people get really into it and hide the elf in different places and the kids aren't supposed to touch him or he loses his magic. Here's the link that explains it better: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elf_on_the_Shelf
Pinterest is FILLED with Elf on the Shelf ideas!!
