December daily

Penut Butter and Jelly muffins

Its raining today and the new year is here. The beginning of the new year is great but I find this is the time of the year that is the hardest for me. I am not sure if it's the weather or that Christmas is over and that feels sad to me but I find myself really struggling this month. I tell myself it is just a feeling and it will pass and it does. I find that baking and trying new recipes makes me happy so I do it. Today I made these really easy and fun PB and Jelly muffins. There easy to make and a big hit in my house.
Prep time is about 15 minutes
Cook time is about 20 minutes
Here is what you need -------
2 Cups of flour
11/2 teaspoon of salt
1 table spoon baking powder
1 cup of milk
2 large eggs
2/3 cup of sugar
1 cup of peanut butter
1/3 cups of vegetable oil ( I skip this but the recipe calls for it )
1/2 cup of jelly 

You heat the oven to 375 and then mix everything except the jelly. That is for later. Then fill the your muffin tin half way and put some jelly in there and then put another spoon of mix of top of the jelly and bake. I bake them for 20 but start checking them at 16 minutes or so. Then when there ready put some power sugar on top and your set.
Hope you enjoy them and anything peanut butter and jelly makes me happy.

December is here !!

I love that it is this time of year again. One of the traditions I love the most is working on my December daily. I feel like this album is the whip cream of my holiday season. You know everyone loves the hot chocolate but the whip cream is always all mine. This year I am embracing two things my hand writing and getting my story down for each day. 

 December 1

December 1st was my husbands holiday party. I Love getting dressed up and a good date night is always a great thing around here. Since the picture of the two of us was so nice I decided to start with it. Jack got his first Christmas treat from pre-school earlier in the day he was so excited. I wrote about the rest of our day . Jack and I took my oldest out to lunch I wrote a message to her on the back of my half page.

Dec 2

I kept the 2nd easy. I went for a 10 mile run while Jack was in  pre-school and then we met my husband for Lunch at the 101 diner. I wrote a page about how much I love our family.I also got a great picture of my husband kissing my youngest.

Things I am loving is that my album is to get bigger. I also think that embracing the just taking it easy and getting down attitude makes it nicer specially when there is so much to do. 

Thanks for stopping by. G

December daily Day 3,4,5 and 6

December Daily Day 1,2 and 3

Just like you I am also so excited about this years December Dailey and yes my girl crush is totally Ali. She is so awesome in the way she inspires us to keep taking pictures and getting our stories down. Here we go. I ordered Ali's Kit this year and some extra stuff I had laying around from last years kit.

I wanted to keep it simple and easy because I tend to take a lot of pictures.

I saw this paper at paper tales and just loved it. So I got a couple sheets and I really liked how it looks under the transparency . 

Day 1 I spent most of the day at the park with Jack. I try and go on a two mile walk with him everyday. I love how through his eyes everything is new.

Day two my dad and I took Jack to the Train/tractor museum. I would usually never go to the tractor museum but since Jack came along I have really grown to love trains and tractors. The time spent with my dad is priceless .

I am going to write down 7 reasons why I love our weekly outings with my dad. I really like how this is coming along. 

Happy October

Happy October Peeps. Hi!! How exciting we all made it to October. I have big plans for this month. I made a little Pictober prompt for myself . There is so much going on when its close to the end of the year and I really want to make my Project Life come together so I need to help myself with some prompts . I also have done some other prompts and my journals for my blog and my own project Life does so much better. I will hash tag my pictures #pictober if you want to do the same ..that would be cool.. My Instagram name is creatingfreespirit if you want to fallow me. 

My number 1 is Me. That sounds funny. I mean my number 1 prompt is ME. Me is my family today. I really want to start every month with a picture of who ever is in the house. I have my 2 of my kids about 80 percent of the time. My oldest lives in her own apartment. Jack is with me all the time. So I want to do a family picture the first of every month that will be who ever is here that day. This month Poala my oldest had surgery. Her boy friend was here and that was who is in our first Family picture.  This feels like a great Idea. I am thinking we can take some fancy family pictures but for today this was my family and that is me.
