Today I learned that 13 year olds know all the things. Like every single thing. They know it. They (and by they I mean Andrew) also like to jump at the chance to prove that I, Mommy, am really a dope. But. The joke is on Andrew because you cannot outsmart a smartass.
In my quest to keep checking things off my holiday to-do list I watched Love Actually this afternoon. It is still tied with Christmas Vacation for the #1 most awesome Christmas movie. Because while I super love Buddy the Elf, you really can’t beat this proposal, or this freak out.

I am usually begging the retailers to stop shoving things in my face before it’s time but this year is different. I went to …
I am taking full advantage of this date to shove a last minute Halloween treat in your face. It’s ready in just a few minutes and only takes 4 ingredients. I love Halloween.
