Sweet This Week – December 8th

It’s been a busy week around here, but more behind the blog than on the blog.  My toddler had the stomach flu, which is just no fun for anyone involved.  Thankfully she’s back to her spunky self, and the rest of us have been downing garlic pills and grape juice (the “things to help prevent the stomach bug” I’ve found – may not help, but likely won’t hurt – except I really, really, really don’t like grape juice!).   But I did manage to share a number of sweet treats this week on the site.   So here is the wrap up in what was sweet this week…

It was Magic Cookie Bar Week and was it yummy.

I shared some of the ways that I toddler and pet proof my Christmas tree and holiday decorations, while still being able to decorate around the house.

I made some printables to go with my holiday decor, and you can download them for free.

I shared some fun holiday baking Bites From Other Blogs.  Like holiday cupcakes!  I had planned to share a number of other holiday recipe round ups, but those had to get put on hold to care for my sick little one.

Here is a quick look at what things looked like behind the blog…

And here is a sneak peek at what I’m working on for this coming week…

Have a great weekend!
