    Paleo Cranberry Hand Pies

    Hello again! So it is December 5th, which means that Christmas is only 20 days away! Holy sweet baby Jesus I am not even CLOSE to being prepared this year for this holiday! I am normally on top of things. I normally have gifts already wrapped and under the tree by this point, I am doing poor. I haven’t even bought A THING yet. Having a bit of a panic attack. These holidays have crept up on me this year. I feel like whenever Thanksgiving is a bit later in the month of November, Christmas always seems to come SO fast! Feel very unprepared right now. I am sure everything…

    Are you all geared up for Thanksgiving? Can you even believe it is here already?! This year has legitimately gone faster than any other year I think I can remember. People always told me when I was younger… “time goes faster as you get older”, oh pish posh! I would think. It could not be more true. AmIright? The older I get the more I think I forget to stop and think about what I am truly grateful for. You just get so busy that you forget to remember what is right in front of you. Today is a bit of reflection for myself. If any of you are friends…

    I feel like I haven’t posted in like a week…wait, I haven’t! haha…things have been SO busy! Thanksgiving was wonderful and very low key, which I enjoyed VERY much. I was able to enjoy it with my parents, Patrick, and some of our neighbors and it was a very lovely, and stuffed, Thanksgiving. I also was able to meet Patrick’s bother and his wife. We went out for dinner in NYC. Very interesting place we went to called the Gotham Bar & Grill. A tad on the expensive side (*ahem* with tip about $600 for 4 people, just a TAD on the expensive side 😉 ). It was really nice…

    I would just like to point out that next week is Thanksgiving. GAH!!! ::sings:: gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle, I wish turkey only cost a nickel. <—if you don’t know what that is from click here. I cannot believe how fast this year has been going. I mean really. Christmas is going to be here before we know it! I am trying to help my mom design a Christmas invitation. What do you all think of the following picture for an invite? Would you like to get this for an invite? I don’t know about you but when it starts to get around this time of year all…

    Gooble google goo and gobble gobble giggle…I wish turkey only cost a nickle! 😉 I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Mine was really good and full of food and good people. I actually went to Penn State the day after Thanksgiving (post will be coming for that one) which was SO much fun! Was able to catch up with two of my closest friends, Kait and Tamara. Love them to death! Normally, I am just the helper on Thanksgiving because my mom is in charge (I am sure most of you know how this is haha). I try to fill in when she can’t multi-task anymore haha. This…
