I tell you what, CSN Stores has been my go-to when I am researching items that we need around the house. They have over 200 online stores and offer everything from wooden swing sets to bakeware. I have used CSN quite a few times and I have been completely satisfied with the ease of use of the website, the vast amount of choices and variety, fair prices and the super fast delivery. Now that I think about it I sure could use some new cookware and bar ware (hint hint to the hubby)

Snow day

School and most businesses were shut down today (and most likely tomorrow) for our city. I know we had snow in the forecast for an inch or two but we ended up with about 6 inches! On top of it we have freezing rain and sleet. Fun. Well I took advantage of the cold day in and baked and cooked up a storm. The girls will have additional time to study for mid-term exams. Dwayne just got plain lucky to get out of going to work.
It's not common to have to shovel snow but we did some of that to be sure that in the event of an emergency we would be able to get our relatively safely. I tell you what, shoveling is some back-breaking work!

Poor Milo is so not liking the snow at all! Dwayne had to walk him in order to get him to "go". He also hates wearing his winter sweater.

Dwayne was clearing our vehicles off and asked me to put these snowballs up in the freezer. I wonder what he plans to do with them?

I know people from the states that are used to snow are laughing at the Southerners right now. Our cities are just not properly equipped for these rare weather occurrences. How about you, did you get any snow or ice?

Anyone watching The Next Food Network Star?

I rarely watch any particular television show consistently but I admit I have been hooked on The Next Food Network Star. I am rooting for Aarti to win but I do like the other contestants as well. I think Aarti would bring some nice diversity to the Food Network and with a little push of self-confidence, she can truly become a star. So is anyone watching? Who do you want to win?

Christmas cookie craziness!

The girls and I decided to make Christmas cookies this year. At first we were going to make the cookies from scratch but changed our minds since we had a dozen cakes to bake as well. I found some pre-cut sugar cookie dough at the store that was ready to bake. We also got a bunch of cookie icing and decorations. We sat for hours decorating some of the stupidest looking cookies ever but had such a blast doing it! We ate at least 6-8 as we decorated. We shared a lot of laughs and made a lot of mess. It was so much fun! I think we will make it a yearly tradition (not only during the holidays).

They look so pitiful!! hahaha!!!
