My child has already started sneak reading books at bedtime! I’m so excited!
Just returned all of my library books. I guess I have to read from my TBR stack for vacation.

It is much easier to eat a salad with chop sticks than a spork.

Found myself with a few bonus quiet moments during a crazy day and tested out the speedball carvers in my classroom. So now I have art for today and a lesson for 5th grade in January!

I love Christmas shirts but most are made as long sleeved or as sweaters. I’ve started making my own Christmas tank tops. I made a reverse appliqué tree and then machine embroidered the holly jolly Christmas design.

I was going to do a running commentary of the day but I didn’t. I started the day with a looooooong training run of 13.1 miles. I think I finally fueled enough during the run. Now to get the right interval timing and use it for all the miles. 🏃♀️

#artadventcalendar Day 1: My attempt at a slightly realistic snowflake went well until I decided to paint it. I’m going to give it a little more attention tomorrow.

The flavor of the pudding was great! I definitely had too much bread to pudding ratio! Though having the crispy bits meant that I was able to enjoy it because it wasn’t all pudding-y. The top still had flavor since I made sure to soak all the pieces. They just dried out while baking.

We’ve had this Charlie Brown tree for years. The last few years, the tape has worn out and the branches have been falling off. Today, I recovered all of the branches with fresh brown floral tape. Hopefully, this tree will keep going for a few more years.

I wasn’t going to bake today, but we have a lot of leftover rolls. This pile of cubes will become bread pudding for dessert tonight.

I found the missing pillowcase!
I thought I had accidentally thrown away one of our nice pillowcases while cleaning just before our son was born.
Turns out it had gotten put into a tub of clothing given to us when I was packing the then giant sized clothing.

Other than all of the desserts being brown, I’m calling this year a success!
1. Cobbler was a tried and true recipe.
2. Pumpkin pie with whipping cream and whole milk and the addition of cardamom was a hit!

And now they have faces!
A few years ago, rather than bake a huge meal for just the three of us, we found a place that would deliver a fully cooked meal and then spent the day at LEGOLAND. To say thanks to all the people working, we handed out cookies! This is now an annual tradition. #cookieparty

My cheesecake is a bit of an experiment. I forgot I threw out all of our old and stale graham crackers and hadn’t replaced them yet. So I went for crustless. Due to that change, rather than having a layer of caramel between the crust and cake, I mixed in the little balls of caramel.

The pumpkin pie came out of the oven all puffed up. It’s since settled and looks amazing!

How about some results photos?! First up are the rolls. These better taste as good as they look! Also, they are huge so I may make them smaller next round.

I’m excited about how these are looking! They did get an egg wash before going into the oven so they should brown up nicely!
