Hurry Up Monday

My house is a mess, the kids are bored, and I’m going crazy from all of the noise. Hurry up Monday, I need a break from Christmas break.

December’s Veggie Meals

Let me start off by saying that December wasn’t one of my better months…

Basically, I ate everything that came through the door, and after Christmas, I felt like complete crap.

So I started weaning myself off the junk, and worked my way towards veganism.

Veggie Pasta with Capers and Tomatoes

Vegan Ramen with plenty of veggies

Vegan Snack dinner with Pita Chips and Homemade Hummus

I’m already starting to feel a bit better, and my stomach is my friend once more.

December’s Crafts

Well December was a long month, but a quick month. And we were under the weather too…

I snuck in a few crochet and knitting crafts here and there, whenever I could.

I knitted handmade scarves for the kid’s teachers, and some for para’s too. I crocheted a bunch of homemade ornaments too.

I started knitting a little scarf on the first day of Winter.

I kept working on Agnes’ and Dylan’s multi-color blankets.

 

After Christmas all of the boys in the house started playing PUBG, so I picked up the knitting needles.

I had a bit of chunky yarn on hand, and I whipped up an earwarmer for me.

And I got it done just in time for the temps to drop to -18 F. Holy moly is is freezing in KS!

Now my crafting project is to get the pipes unfrozen in the house… My goodness, hurry up warmer weather. I need a break!
