Progress!

Well my new project to switch rooms w/ Kaylee went well last night! lol.. i took a nap and then popped up when Kaylee got up from her's and went at it. I finally finished around 9:30, when I finally put the kiddo to bed.

I was able to accomplish all the major furniture moved, the closet except the top of her's. i'm going to borrow some of her closet top though ha ha! I never really even used the top of her's when it was in this smaller room. I have some scraggling left overs in the floor, and a few things that flew out of my hands once I moved it, but.. here's what i have so far by way of progress on the office portion:

Today I plan after I run errands, to fine tune the closet, and the clean up the rest of the stuff on the floor, and organize and make it homey in here. I plan to do the same in K's room as well. :)

Well there you have it! My next project!!!!

hmm.. what's next?!

So I haven't updated my site since August?! wow, that's crazy. Maybe I should stick to this one instead of starting another at word press (though I do like word press better, oh well!) Today's project is going to be getting the Christmas decorations down and put away and setting up things in our new home. We've been here almost a month, but I still have so much to do. Christmas added some extra clutter, and I'm ready to have it DONE, settled- el fin! Today's project?!?!?!?! I'm switching room's with Kaylee. My office is quite a bit bigger than her bedroom, and the darn kid doesn't fit! ;) So I'm going to do my best to switch closet for closet, furniture for furniture- etc. Her toys are leaking out into the living room, and it's quite unpleasant! I'll have to take pictures of the transition for sure :-) But for now!!! I made these really yum spritz cookies from all recipes- they turned out super tasty. I thought I'd share the recipe!

I never do leave a recipe alone though lol! I omitted the cinnamon (not a cinnamon flavored cookie fan) added quite a bit of extra zest- and it was delish!

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup butter
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon orange zest

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and cream cheese. Add sugar and egg yolk; beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and orange zest. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Fill a cookie press or pastry bag with dough, and form cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are golden brown on the peaks and on the bottoms. Remove from cookie sheets at once to cool on wire racks.

And here's a picture of my lil' helper. She loves to crack the eggs ;) and then take a break once the first batch comes out lol
