Christmas Countdown - 2016

[HomemakinGirl]

Thank you so much HMG! Hoping and praying things work out for the best.
I hope you are having a good day preparing for you mum's party later. Have a blast!

You're welcome Sam <3
And thank you! Still have lots to do, just having a quick coffee break

When we were grocery shopping yesterday, I bought a jar of Biscoff cookie butter because I'd never tried it before. That may have been a big mistake ... I think it's going to be a staple in my kitchen cupboard from now on ...

It sounds divine!!

You're very welcome ~

Merry Saturday MMC! Such a beautiful day today although I did not sleep too well. I am hoping to squeeze in a little nap. We will have a quiet night and probably watch a movie. Tomorrow my Gram turns 94...we are going to go see her..she loves to see my kids! Have a great day all!

Hope you can catch up on some sleep today, friend.
Enjoy your relaxing evening!
Happy Birthday to your Gram!!
Have a wonderful day!

[Meceka]

Thank you, dear friend. God bless you guys.

And Happy Saturday!!

How is Miss Palmer?

Fingers crossed that the supplement helps, it's a chewable treat, and she didn't find it treat-worthy when I gave it to her. Although she wasn't disinterested, either. She ended up just leaving it laying there, so I picked it up and cut it into smaller pieces and took it with us on our walk. There was a huge crowd of kids at the basketball court, and they were making her nervous with all of the screaming & scooters flying by. So, I stood in front of her and she sat down. I praised her for being so good & gave one to her, she gobbled it up. So I gave her the other few bites. I'll keep trying it this way!

You're welcome!
Thank you! <3
Miss Palmer is doing well ~ having a lazy Saturday. She has been sleeping most of the afternoon. It's quiet in here.
Making them treats psychologically makes them so much better to her ~ good job! I'm so glad it is working out for you!!
Have a relaxing weekend!!
xx

That sounds like a wonderful day!
Your home will smell amazing =]
Hope you have a beautiful day, M!
xx

It has been a wonderful day! Nice to not be doing something for the store other than thinking about displays. I've come up with some good ideas I hope to implement in the near future.
The house smells like vanilla.
Thank you so much, snowflake (and the same to you!). (((HUGS)))

Good Morning, friends~

Happy Saturday!!

Harlowe & I got a good night of sleep last night, it feels amazing.
I'm not sure if it was the supplement, or the fact that she's off of Furosemide again, or a combination of both. I'm hoping it's the supplement so it can happen more often!

Hope you have a nice day planned!!

We are unsure of our plans at the moment, but either way it will be pretty laid back.
It will be our last spring like day before the cold and snow return.
So we intend to enjoy it to the fullest =]

Wishing you a lovely & blessed day~

This made me so happy! I pray it continues!!

Good Saturday Morning MMC! It's beautiful outside as the sun is shining but the chill is back in the air. After all it is March but it still feels nice out. Kind of feels like an October/November morning. Ahh we can only dream about those days! But it's a great time of year to spring ahead tonight. It's gonna be nice being light out till almost around 7PM now. Love the longer days. Just gives you more energy. Should be a nice day here. I hope you guys are all having a great Saturday as you read this. I am enjoying coffee and a donut this morning, relaxing, reading MMC...perfect Saturday morning to me!
Have a great Saturday!

I knew I was forgetting to do something ~ thank you so much for the reminder!!

Good Morning, Everyone.

The weekend is here again.
A chance to pause, take a deep breath, brew yourself some tea, sit down and open this morning's copy of The Daily Countdown News.

Let's check out the headlines.
Ah! Look at this:
"NEXT MILESTONE REPORTED TO BE LESS THAN HALF A WEEK AWAY"

Can this really be true?
Must be.
You know what they say. "If you read it in the Countdown, it must be so".

Days to the Season: 246
Days to Christmas Day: 288

(And, of course, that pending Milestone is none other than the ONE THIRD marker to Christmas Season 2016!)


Still the unusually pleasant weather. Lots of nice opportunities for outdoor activity!
(I hope this continues for a while, but you know how that goes.)
This AM has commenced here in central North Carolina at 63 degrees.


Have a Sensational Saturday, Folks.
And enjoy your weekend the way a loyal and dedicated MMC citizen should!

Thank you, Crown! Love the way you put the post today. Have a merry weekend!

Thank you so much! ♥

You're welcome! xx

Merry afternoon Christmas family,

I decided not to paint the fence today as the wood feels a little damp and the temps are not as mild as I thought they would be and no sunshine. I will see what it's like tomorrow. Instead I managed to clean the car, shampoo the carpet on the staircase ,repair a door hinge and replace the spotlights in the kitchen.

The kids and I managed a walk out and now we are baking some white chocolate chip cookies while I get some laundry done. Later I think we will make pizza pies for our dinner.

Hope you guys are enjoying your Saturday. I know I am Now for a cappuccino and freshly baked cookies ...

Sounds like a Saturday well spent! Yum, cappuccino.

Also ... the house was listed today!!! It's official!
Praying that we complete a sale soon. Eeek!

Congratulations! Praying your house sells quick, you are able to get the house you want and that the move is stress-free! xx

Managed to get the boys outside already today so they can air out a bit. Raked up some leaves, and picked up some dead branches. Still miss the SNOW!!!

I don't ~ already thinking about gardening!

Thank you Meceka...Hope your having a good day so far my friend

You're welcome, Prancer. I'm glad you had a good lunch with your parents and a nice trip to the garden centre! I have been having a good day ~ thank you! Have a merry weekend, my friend!

I had to look this stuff up as I have never heard of it until today. Sounds different. Is it chocolate?
Have a merry weekend!

Good to hear your having a good day my friend...Enjoy your evening when it comes Meceka

 

[Meceka]

Good afternoon!

Pizza and muffins are done ~ just need to do the dishes yet. Two of the clocks have been sprung forward ~ only a few more to do. I have more chores to do and then I can relax for the rest of the day ~ yay! I slept great, but since I was up before 2 a.m. again, I am already getting sleepy. Will be another early night.

I don't think I will have time to check in here tomorrow, so I will wish all of you a safe and merry rest of the weekend.
See you Monday!

Tonite we had Scampi and chips Edge MMMmmm

Sounds very tasty

.....Thank you, Crown! Love the way you put the post today. Have a merry weekend!.....

Thanks. I try to make it readable.
Not easy trying to think of something to say for over 300 countdown posts per year.
(I guess one of these mornings, I'll get writer's block and just freeze at the keyboard!)

You always come up with something a little different Crown. Great job as always. Just hard to believe we're moving so fast through the 2016 count so far.

 

[MerryCarey]

It sounds divine!!

Too, too divine, I fear!

No ... it tastes like a spice cookie (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.), but spreads like peanut butter. It's made from Biscoff cookies. I spread some on an Eggo waffle for breakfast, and it was nice!

Ever try nutella? I haven't but people tell me they love it.

Glad that she is doing well
Please give her hugs for us!

Thank you so much!
It was great to sleep well.

Thanks! For some reason, walk time is when she prefers certain treats! And it helped distract her from things that can make her anxious.

Glad you are having a relaxing day

I can almost smell the vanilla!

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
