Scent Of Christmas
Saturday, December 19, 2009

I gladly give credit to my dear friend Rachel for this fantastic find.
It is one of my new favorite things.
If you want your home to smell incredibly Christmassy, try this:
Scent Of Christmas
2 cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup whole cloves
2 orange peels
2 sections of lemon
1 quart/4 cups of water
Place all ingredients in a pot and simmer on low.
Add water as needed.
Can be used for days.
It's Offical

I am old.
I am not sure when it happened,
But it did.
Picture this:
The kids are sitting at the counter, making Christmas cards. They are using stamps and ink. Emma takes a stamp in her hand and stamps a paper while saying, "STAMP, that's what I like doing, pretending that I am a librarian, checking out books. STAMP, that's what you use to do in the olden days you know!"
I am pretty sure she learned that from this book that we are reading.
It is CUTE!
