My family doesn't really have any traditions. We're all kind of spread out all over the place so I'm usually not home with them because I'm usually out living on my own in a different state or something. One thing I always do though is put up the Christmas tree as soon as Halloween is over! I'm not a fan of Thanksgiving so I skip that holiday!!

My favorite holiday recipe is....
Anything cookie or cupcake related that lets me decorate with my own designs! So it would have to be a sugar cookie or a white plain cupcake! I love adding sprinkles on top and making designs! I love using cookie cutters, too!

Ho-Ho-Ho Read-a-Thon!

Hi everyone! So I was going back and forth yesterday trying to decide if I should participate in a read-a-thon this week (a holiday themed one to be more specific) since I don't consider November to be the time to read winter books. But I finally decided to go ahead and say yes to the Ho-Ho-Ho Read-a-Thon hosted by Jennifer and Kimba. This particular one will take place...


GOALS:
1.  Read Snow Queen by Emma Harrison
2. Participate in challenges whenever I can
3. Check out how everyone else is doing and see what fun books everyone is reading!

I'm not sure of all of the details yet since they won't be posted until Nov. 6 but come check out the available info now and sign up! :)
