I got the cookie dough of course at the Albertsons sale, gift bags at the $ store, and inexpensive cookie sheets. I have the stuff to make 15 of these, but obviously, I am not putting them all together right now. I do though have everything bought, and the signs made, so when the time comes, I can just whip them out quickly. Check one more thing off my list.

Holiday Challenge Week #3
Christmas is coming, only just over 7 weeks away! I am trying to stay organized and on top of things so everything is done before my baby arrives! My second baby came 5 weeks early, and I would hate for Christmas to be unprepared with a premie! If you are following the holiday challenge, this week's challenge is to make inexpensive holiday gifts. I decided to tackle the teacher/neighbor/coworker bracket with this great idea! I will write a note that says, "Everyone can use a little extra dough at Christmastime!"

Preparing for Baby/Holiday Challenge Week #2
Christmas is just 8 weeks away! I hope you have been taking note of all the coupon codes popping up, there will be a lot in the next few weeks. Use them to your advantage and get those gifts early, saving money in the process!
I took a mini break from blogging yesterday and did some much needed playroom cleaning and made my freezer meals for the hip 2 save Holiday Challenge. It appears that you can enter each week, so if you want to make 3 freezer meals for the holidays and have a chance for a prize, head on over for the details.
I made a lasagna, 2 sheppard's pies, and 2 pots of chili. It will be so nice when it gets crazy in December with Christmas and the new baby to have meals already made. I am curious, do any of you make regular freezer meals or participate in a freezer meal swap group? I think it is a fabulous idea!

Preparing for baby/Holiday Challenge
Collin over at Hip2Save, one of my favorite blogs, has issued a holiday challenge. I thought I would join in on the fun, since I am trying to get all my Christmas and holiday planning before my baby arrives, (due January 1). This weeks challenge was to make and freeze 3 breakfast items. I made Old Fashioned Oatmeal Bread, Apple Spice Bread, and Cheese Strata. I think it is too late to join the challenge, but you can always follow her plan and help to make the holiday flow a little easier for you.
