All day long I thought today was the 10th. I feel like I lost a whole day and need a do-over.
I am a very late adopter to the sweet potato fry craze. Sarah has been raving about them for years, after all, but apparently I’ve been turning a deaf ear. For some reason, they just never intrigued me. Until now. I made a batch of them last week, and then last night. When I made them last week, I served them alongside burgers. Nick mentioned something about them not being “regular” fries and pushed them to the side. The Ex happened to be here and said something about me trying to be sneaky and fool them into thinking they were regular fries. If I was, I was clearly unsuccessful, because none of them ate them. (Editing to add: Nick ate ONE of the sweet potato fries last night – hurrah!) No matter. I polished them off myself over the next few days because I happen to love them. And better still, my old personal trainer would wholeheartedly endorse them, which is a good thing. I’d much rather eat without the guilt.
So it’s Thursday night, which means I’m outta here until Sunday. This weekend brings a date with one of my favorite peeps Saturday night, and a day trip with the kids and friends on Sunday. ‘Tis another weekend full of friends, family and fun – hope yours is just as fabulous!

Two new additions to my Christmas kitchen tree, courtesy of my Mom and her “advent calendar” – love these!
She never wants to leave school when I pick her up. I’m pretty sure that’s a good thing and I shouldn’t take it personally.
H is for Hedgehog. I don’t think an H week is complete without a hedgehog crown, do you?
So this time, I remembered to take a picture of my Creme Brulee Frappuccino before I drank it … sooo good. New seasonal flavor brought to you by the fine folks at Starbucks; get it before it’s gone!
To keep her away from my Frappuccino, I always ask for a little taster cup of whipped cream (free!).
And since it’s Thursday, time for Embrace the Camera. Only took six attempts to get us both in the shot. Have YOU embraced YOUR camera (with your kid) today?
