Let me throw something at ya!

I had a couple of ideas that I thought might be fun.
First I thought that it would be fun to have a Tried and True Thanksgiving Recipe Week, where we would link up our favorite appetizers on one day, sides on another, main dish etc. All related to what we usually serve on Thanksgiving. I am always open to try new recipes and I know that a lot of times the ones we make on Thanksgiving are ones that we love. So why not share them? Who would be interested in that one? I would probably do this one on my cooking blog!

Then my other idea has to do with Christmas. Now if you just got all excited with the anticipation of that glorious day, then you are who I'm targeting here. If you just cringed then you probably aren't interested. But I thought that having a fun week of quick and simple crafts and recipes would be fun. I'd give step by step instructions on a few fun and easy crafts and share a favorite holiday recipe each day. And then maybe have a fun giveaway at the end of that week. See I'm a homeschooling SAHM of 3 so I don't have all the time in the world to do things that take a lot of effort and time, so everything that I'd be posting would be quite simple and easy. Because I know a lot of you like to do a little something but don't have a lot of time either.
Who would be interested in me doing that?

I'm just throwing them out there to see what kind of response I get. Be honest. If you wouldn't be interested then let me know but if you would let me know that too! I mean once and awhile I like to appease my readers! LOL

HUGS!!

  1. Ok first of all SHUT UP with the Christmas widget!!!! 65 days??!.....is that IT?!!! Oh help....

    LOL!

    Now, as far as your ideas, I'd be all over the Christmas one. I love Thanksgiving but in the past we've always gone to my in-law's, so I don't have any great recipes to share. :( I'm all about Christmas crafts and food and such!


    Hugs,

  7. Sounds fun, but...I don't like to cook much, have never cooked Thanksgiving or Christmas, have always gone to my mom's, not creative or crafty. The good thing is...I'd didn't cringe but it will be fun to watch you guys and I might just get inspired. lol
