Hey y’all! Can’t believe I haven’t blogged since Wednesday!
Last week was terribly busy and stressful, so I had absolutely no energy to try to put together coherent thoughts.
I’m hoping this week will be better!
So, here’s a small recap of the exciting things in my life that have happened over the last few days.
Wednesday: I worked, then went home, had a stress/exhaustion induced crying breakdown, then went to sleep.
Thursday: I worked, then went home and went to sleep.
Friday: I worked, then went home and went to sleep.
So exciting, I know! :)
Saturday, I slept in a bit, then braved the mall craziness with my grandmother so we could finish up Christmas shopping. I have all but one of my gifts finished!
Saturday night, I babysat two of my favorite kiddos, plus two of their neighbors while the parents had an ugly sweater party. I was super nervous about keeping four kids, especially because I’d never met the neighborkids.
They were so good! We made handprint Christmas trees and watched Elf. The kids all wanted to wear their pajamas, so they said they were having a pajama party! So cute!
Yesterday, I went to church, then spent the afternoon baking for my Q Group Christmas Extravaganza. I made Paula Deen brownies and oreo truffles. I can’t believe I didn’t take any pictures!
Now, let me tell you about these brownies. They are the best brownies I have ever tasted. I couldn’t find the recipe online, but I found the video where Paula explains them. Check it out here. Seriously, y’all. These brownies will change your life.
Last night was Q Group Extravaganza! We had a great time sharing a meal and doing an ornament exchange.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Glad you are doing well Ashley :)
So sorry to hear about last week! This week HAS to be better!
Those brownies and oreo truffles sound good!
I now how that goes with working, sleep and then repeat! Hope you get some rest and have a great holiday week!
Yessss!! ELF!
I wasn’t brave enough to go shopping on Saturday, too many people out for my liking. I’ll have to finish up in the next couple days. EEK!
This week can only be better, right? :)
Hoping and praying for a better week for ya! :)
