Hello Coffee Gals – bring a big mug and I’ll fix you right up this morning with a fresh brewed cup of coffee and some monster cookies!

So today I have MUCH due for my Algebra class.  It ends at midnight tonight and I am pushing upward and onward to get a “C” in the class.  It’s not looking good, but I can’t give up yet.

To start things off – you might want to read this post at Mommies Coffee Break to find out about an AWESOME COMPUTER giveaway at MckMama‘s My Charming Kids.

Next – I wanted to let you know that a good online friend of mine, Lara, is selling several websites.  She is the owner & operator of Moms of Faith (one of my all time favorite Christian websites) and she’s selling several of her other websites.  You can find more information here.  They’re definitely worth checking out.   From All Natural Beauty, and Recipe Finder Cooking Magazine to Green Christian Network – if you’re looking to establish or expand your online presence, one of these sites may help!

While I’m at it – I also want to put a shout out for my friend, Heather Bixler, who owns Christian Stay at Home Moms.  She has been a real inspiration to me online and I feel like we’re friends although we’ve never met.  I will have the opportunity to do some book reviews for CSAHM soon and am looking forward to working with her more.  She not only has a great online presence – but she’s also a great website designer and offers really affordable website hosting packages, too. (I’m an affiliate for both sites – check out my disclosure policy here.)

I got some cookies made this week – No Bakes (yummo!) and Monster Cookies.  I’m making a cheese ball (my grandma’s recipe) to take to my mom’s family reunion this weekend, barring any bad weather.  The drive is only an hour away, but Roy is on call and can’t go and I really hate the idea of being stranded on the side of the road with 2 girls should bad weather occur.  Needless to say – Cheese balls signal “holidays” to me for some reason, and I’m looking forward to spending time with uncles, aunts & cousins I usually only get to see once a year.  My grandpa will be there – and Curly can’t stop talking about seeing her “GrandPapa”…

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of my new Keurig brewer and already discovered my favorite K-cup:  Green Mountain Coffee’s Nantucket Blend.  I won’t admit to the number of cups I’ve had in less than 2 weeks, but needless to say, I’ll be a fan for life or until the blend is no longer available…  Oh – and Roy brought home a bottle of GFIC’s new holiday liquid creamer, White Chocolate Raspberry, which is DIVINE!  We couldn’t find any more bottles for an entire week, and then one night we came home and each of us had found a bottle at different stores. =)  So that has helped me get through the week and wrap up for my final!

Then it’s on to wrapping Christmas presents!!!  Thanks for visiting – have a great weekend!
