130 yes, 130

In case you're counting, there's 130 days left until the big guy comes a shooting down your chimney!  Just Sayin!!!  As our kids are trying to get to bed on time and get something that resembles a routine set up for the big 5th grader and 3rd grader, we are just trying to keep our heads afloat with Soccer starting x2.  I know most who read this will be experiencing something similar! 

How about some good old fashioned stick to your ribs food that will hopefully inspire your creations!

Cheers!
