Taking Stock and Making Stock
Today I’m wishing for warmer weather, while my kitty is taking a long Winter’s nap. I’ve been busy getting a jump start on the New Year’s organizing by neatly putting away all of my new kitchen towels. I just love the Coffee Themed Towels 
The kids are having fun playing with their new Cars Tent(Christmas Present from Grandma). I still have no idea where that one is going, it is a little big for the Living Room.
I’ve also been taking stock of what I have in the Fridge, Freezer, and Pantry while working on my January Monthly Menu (coming soon). I finally got around to making some Turkey Stock out of the Christmas Turkey. The stock will come in handy for Soups and Stuffing too.

The night before Christmas Thade and I made a few more cookies for Santa, and a few dozen for gifts too. We ended up baking 9 dozen cookies, so we had plenty to snack on for Christmas day. I’ve been keeping track of all the baking that has been going on in the kitchen, and this holiday season I have baked 418 cookies! That is just a little over 34 dozen. It has been so much fun, but I don’t know if I can eat another cookie Well maybe just one more 
Today’s To Do’s
It is a cold and rainy day out today, and I have a few errands to run. Here is the plan for today:
- Get the trash out this morning
- Go to the Court House to pay Personal Property Taxes
- Go to the Post Office
- Put away 4 loads of laundry
- Finish washing the dishes
- Make Turkey Stock
- Keep cleaning and digging through all of the Christmas presents
- Go to Dollar General for Tissues (I really need to start buying these in bulk we seem to use about 4 boxes a week)
We’ll see what I can get done today
New Clothes
The end of the laundry is in sight! I’ve just put the ninth load of laundry in the washer, and I’m so ready to be done. My boys received an entire laundry hamper of new clothes for Christmas, that was a lot of plastic tabs to pop off and hangers to remove.
Did I forget to mention that this is the gigantic pile of clothes that was already in the boy’s closet?!? Hmmm, just where is all of the new stuff going to go. It looks like I’ll be cleaning and organizing for a very long time.
