Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
I had plans this weekend. Big plans. I was going to knock out at least 4 of these holiday dessert recipes. And then I was going to do all of the laundry, and vacuum out my car, and clean my bathroom, because, ew, gross. And then, two basketball games, two parties, a photo shoot, and a gross underestimation of the slowness of street traffic put
I gotta admit, when I finish my Christmas shopping each year I am DONE with Christmas shopping. I’m happy to help my Shop Your Way clients find good deals on things they need and want, but I just can’t even think about another gift guide, or another day at the mall, with the traffic and the lines and the lady at the Pretzel shop who’s
THIS IS A SPONSORED POST. ALL PHOTOS, WORDS, OPINIONS, AND COOKIE ADDICTIONS ARE MY OWN. And by boys I mean bloggers because I hid these from my boys to prevent them from being devoured during their afterschool kitchen ransack-and-jam-everything-in-my-mouth-like-this-is-both-my-very-first-and-my-very-last-meal-of-life sessions.

I kinda knew this one was gonna be a yes, more please recipe because the only other thing I hate in its raw form with as much passion as I hate
Last Friday I spent $25 on a pumpkin. My children (and by children I mostly just mean Dude 3 as he’s the only one who even bothers to notice or pretends to care anymore) chastised my lack of Halloween décor so much that I decided to go all out by buying the biggest pumpkin my Dude 1’s arms could carry. It sits uncarved and beautiful
For nearly 100% of my lifetime I have abhorred things made from pumpkin. Abhorred. As in hated it. As in I will barf at your table if you try to make me eat that.

I know, not on my diet plan. But, giving up cake (and all sweets) is not something I intend to do in this life. I’ve just decided to not eat ALL of the sweets.
