OK, so I broke the 30/30 rules on Friday night for something awesome. Christmas Cookie Night! My sister-in-law is such a great hostess and she invited me to bake Christmas Cookies with a bunch of her friends! It was so great. We laughed and talked and drank sparkling grape juice and baked lots of cookies. I took them to work the next day. They were stinking good too! I heard they were the talk of the store. 🙂

OK, so I have a secret for you. We made Gooey Butter Cookies. Gooey Butter cake is totally a St. Louis thing, just like toasted ravoili (yum!). You should totally make some Gooey Butter cookies or a gooey butter cake. You will impress everyone you know.

Mad for Plaid (Outfit 14 & 15)

by //

Yea! I’m finally caught up!

I never realized how much I love plaid! I’ve got all these plaid things in my 30/30 wardrobe and I’m loving them. They add a little bit of spice in this not so spicy challenge.

And by the way, I would have never worn the second outfit had it not been for the challenge. Thanks Kendi! I think you achieved your goal!

Time to Travel (Outfit 10)

by //

Today Bob and I talked about our freedom. (Not the kind we have because we live in America, although that is AMAZING.) But the kind we have now. Both working from home, no kids, etc. And we wonder how we can better take advantage of it. When I first quit my job I was aching for a road trip, but we didn’t do it. Why not? I am not sure.

So now we’re talking about all the places we want to go! Fly south for the winter, spend a month or two in Italy eating their yummy food, visiting family, visiting other bloggers :), etc.

Do you have any suggestions? Where are some great places to visit?
