Rolling right along.

              
                               
Yesterday was a little crazy to say the least.  I signed up to make taquitos for Hailey's girl scout party- which was directly before I needed to leave for the book club party- in which I decided to make Italian meatballs.  And of course I had to double the meatball recipe- and quadruple the sauce recipe (because we need food for the weekend, right??).  
           
After rolling, rolling, and ROLLING meatball after meatball, taquito after taquito, you can just imagine what I smelled like my kitchen looked like when Ryan walked in and literally saved the day... seeing as the vodka still needed to be packaged, presents wrapped, book choices for the coming year decided upon- and of course, I still had yet to shower.  
           
But in the end, it all worked out, and we're armored with leftovers- and cranberry orange vodka- while we tackle the wrapping, the card-sending (and picture taking- yes, we're a little behind), & the last minute shopping.  I hope Hailey asked Santa for a hammock {&/or maid} for Christmas, because I could surely use a few [hundred] naps come January.

                          
Hope you sneak a little rest into your weekend =).
xoxo

    Are your little cuties mailing letter to Santa? I'm in love with that photo. And all that cran-orange goodness looks so happy and festive. I think I'm going to steal that idea for next year.

    @Danielle (elleinadspir) We normally use Lorina bottles (that we've drank/saved throughout the year), but this year we ordered these from Amazon- less $ per bottle, no stress of having to drink a huge amount of soda to ensure that we have enough bottles, & these are a little smaller (less expensive to fill all of them!). (plus, I like the shape :)) ...the case came in 30, which we didn't need all of, but plan on using them for future projects.

    Oh my, lady. That is incredibly impressive! Will you please, please move up here so I can be your neighbor, my daughter can be in scouts with Hailey and we can be in a book club together? All of your hard work sounds so yummy!

    Wow! You got a lot done in what sounds like a very short period of time! I still want to try your taquitoes. I've had them pinned for the longest time waiting to try them...
