Here it is Sunday and another week has come and gone! I’ve been a bit busy finishing some projects and being a little Christmas crazy. Therefore, this week I’ll be sharing a Mitten Moments round-up of the last two weeks.
My Personal Mitten Moments
Here’s a big moment…my oldest son turned 30 this week! 30! How in the world did that happen? It was so fun celebrating him! He’s a blessing to all who know him!


If you are local, I tried a new restaurant called Host. The atmosphere was awesome and so was the food and drink. They add a design to your coffee or drink, which was fun and festive. If you bring them a QR Code, they will add that too! The menu was small but mighty and they change it up frequently.
I give it an 8 and definitely worth the try!

Are you loving all the dried oranges this holiday season? Yesterday, I shared How To Dry Orange Slices.
This was the first time I have ever dried oranges and let me tell you, easy peasy! It’s a project that would be great to do with the littles in your life. I made garland out of mine and will definitely do it again!

Hi Kim! Loved your Mitten Moments, thanks for including my molasses cookie recipe! And happy birthday to your son. Have a wonderful weekend and Merry Christmas!
Thank you my friend! Always a pleasure sharing you!!
Kim, happy birthday to your son!
This new restaurant looks delicious as do your cookies.
I made oranges last year and love the look of them. This year I used them on the trees on the front porch, the only problem is that the squirrels keep taking them.
Have a very Merry Christmas!
The restaurant was definitely a hit! I will go again. I’m telling you…the squirrels think everything outside belongs to them! Merry Christmas!!
Kim, that drink looks delicious. I miss having spirits right now. I am definitely making your Peanut Butter Cookies. I also shared them in my Sunday Among The Blooms Newsletter. Nothing like a good peanut butter cookie dipped in chocolate!
