We can never have too many recipes! Grinch must’ve had some influence...

Bumping this one - who’s holding out on us with their awesome cookie recipes? I know there must be more out there! [emoji39]

December = time to spend my BF Kohl’s cash [emoji38][emoji106] Also = the month I stalk my mailbox for my GD Secret Santa delivery. One of the things I most look forward to. [emoji4]

Got some fresh filters for my kitties’ fountain with the PetSmart 25% off cyber deal. Win. Closing out November sitting on couch with Mew kitty curled up next to me. [emoji4][emoji170]

Try Home Depot or Lowe’s? Depending on how much is going in the box, I find a “small” moving box can be just about right (or maybe slightly oversized but still...)

About half done (I think) with my SS shopping now. Planning on finishing the rest throughout this week. Can’t wait to pull it all together and get it on its way! [emoji4]

Got my order in. Was able to use the $10 off home and 15%. Not as great a deal as in past years when there was a 20% generic code available but still not bad. Bought: Fitbit Luxe Gourmia 5 qt air fryer Cuddle Duds microfleece sheet set (twin) Two throws One other small item Grand total: ~$182 (not bad, given that the Fitbit is $100 by itself) Edited to add: $45 KC + $5 Kohl’s rewards for store pickup (Now to figure out what I’ll be using the Kohl’s rewards & cash on!)

It will likely be just me myself and I this year. That said, not sure what I’ll be doing.

My SS shopping has officially begun! Woot!

I’m coming to your house! [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

Reminder in my phone renewed for another year! As it gets darker earlier, that flashlight will really start coming in handy! Bring on BF and Secret Santa shopping (always so much fun). [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Down payment for a house.

I’m a peppermint/Christmas tree scent girl myself. That said.. Those pine cones they sell about kill me - way too overpowering for me (literally have to hold my breath or my body revolts, sadly) but clearly lots of folks love them, so to you I say... PLEASE BUY THEM ALL QUICKLY!!! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Day job’s been busy! Thanks for the email to remind me the deadline is fast approaching, BoPeep! It’s on my list to get my info back to you hopefully today. [emoji16][emoji106] Edited to add: Info sent!!! [emoji4]

Got mine the other day. Took me a minute to figure it out as well. Fun thing! Will come in handy. Thanks, Brad!

I don’t have a 40% but I do have a 25% I’d gladly share if you want it. [emoji4]

Hello October... Fresh orchard apples for the win. Need more donuts though. Will pick some up tomorrow. [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

In case anyone still needs them:

There is now... You started it!

I have a 30% off code good through tomorrow (9/26) if anyone needs one. PM me if you’d like it. Edited to add: I now have two (2) codes available! If I have no PMs by noon (ET) tomorrow, I’ll post the code in here, as I will be busy the rest of the day and want to at least give someone a shot to use it.

Got that nip in the air last couple of days. Hope you’ve made it to the cider mill! Meanwhile, enjoying an apple from orchard as we speak. My orchard officially transitioned to full organic as of last year, so yummy eats for sure. [emoji106][emoji39][emoji519]

I have many recipes but a few are favorites to those that receive them, so they’re made every year: My three layer easy fudge recipe that I’ve kept bookmarked: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/91736/layered-mint-chocolate-fudge/ (I make this using peppermint oil vs mint extract b/c we all prefer that flavor. I also make a second batch with a fruit-flavor middle layer instead. I’ve done strawberry, cherry, raspberry variations.) The chocolate chip cookie recipe I keep going back to: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10813/best-chocolate-chip-cookies/ Here’s a recipe I found on Betty Crocker website that I sub Candy Cane kisses in place of the Hugs to make them more holiday-ish: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/fiesta-fudge-cookies/6889925a-e218-445e-b73b-b597f38802a7 Classic snickerdoodles: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/christmas-snickerdoodles-cookie-exchange-quantity/7dadf770-cd0f-4e07-b57d-98da04463514 That’s a start, at least... [emoji38] Happy baking, friends!

Yay! Need to get my info sent in. One of my favorite things to be a part of every year. [emoji16][emoji106]

Yay! Orchard season!!! [emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

Little brother from another mother got married yesterday! I’ve known him since he was 7 years old (he’s 28) and I was blessed to make the “short list” of those invited to attend in person. Beautiful day, beautiful ceremony, super proud “big sis”. [emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]
