The Sewing Mom

This week is a Thanksgiving theme! If you would like to participate, visit Fun, Crafts and Recipes

This week’s questions and my answers:

#1. Stuffing. Boxed or from scratch? I use the Pepperidge Farm stuffing and add stuff to it like celery and mushrooms.

#2. If you were served the perfect Thanksgiving dinner what would it be? That’s easy! Turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, yams, green beans, jellied cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whip cream for dessert.

#3. What’s your favorite Thanksgiving leftover? All of it! It all tastes even better the second time around and I love pumpkin pie for breakfast.

#4. Share a recipe using turkey. Using pieces of leftover turkey, add it to a bag of BearCreek brand soup mix for turkey noodle soup. After cooking all day on Thanksgiving, I like things really easy the next couple of days!

I woke up this morning and got my daughter off to school before making my coffee. While it was brewing, I headed to the refrigerator to get my creamer and discovered that my daughter had not only written, but posted her Christmas wish list on the front of the refrigerator where it couldn’t be missed! You can bet that I’m going to be taking advantage of the Kmart Layaway program.

Kmart has just about everything on her wish list, books, cd’s, and video games, so it’s one stop shopping.  I can even throw in a few things for myself or the house.  I’ve bought so many of my holiday decorations at Kmart over the years and now, Kmart has my favorite glass ornaments by Radko.  With the Kmart Layaway program, I can purchase the items on my daughters list now, plus some new decorations, and make a payment every other week over 8 weeks. That keeps me from having to purchase things on a credit card. The added benefit is that I don’t have to find a place to hide the gifts around the house!

Things on her list that I can get at Kmart?

1. Eclipse, by Stephanie Meyer
2. Fearless, cd by Taylor Swift
3. Twilight Soundtrack
4. 2 manga books

So, I’m off to get some shopping done, see you later!
