today is all about the baking of sweet treats for christmas {that's right family, you can expect some yummy goodies in your mailbox next week}!

baking is one of my favorite things about the holiday season.  it can be so relaxing and it fills our little house with such scrumptious smells!  i have a few awesome recipes i cannot wait to try.  if all goes well, i'll do some food posts next week {that's so unlike me, i know!}.  so keep your fingers crossed my candy adventures are successful!

 and for a lovely treat for your ears, here's the music i'm listening to today while i bake.  it's some of my current favorites. 

 i hope you enjoy!

sorry for the hassle!}

ps - a HUGE thank you to everyone who left such sweet, supportive comments yesterday! it was so encouraging. and it's so good to know that i'm not alone in my struggles or quest to follow my dream.  so thank you, thank you! let's all stick together shall we?

pps - i've had some random things come up lately which has kept me pretty busy.  but i love reading your comments and i hope to be able to catch up with all your blogs soon!

  3. Good luck with the continued sweets adventures, Kim! And thanks for the excellent new music list. I've been really impoverished when it comes to music lately and an injection of something fresh is precisely what I needed. Sunday is going to be a big baking day for me I think. I just hope I can keep it together and don't end up with too bad a stomach ache from sampling all the goodies.

  8. Nice music selection! I like! And I'm looking forward to your food posts - I love some Holiday culinary inspiration!!

  9. Great music list! And I absolutely agree, making delicious baked goods is one of the best things about this time of year! I saw in your 'about me' that you do swing dancing, that's so cool!! I do rockabilly, but found swing impossibly hard..I definitely appreciate watching other people do it though! Enjoy your baking :)

    ps. I love your go-to question when you meet new people, I may have to steal it!
