The final countdown to Christmas has begun.

With one week to go, I have three more days of work. Once I'm off, I have three kinds of Christmas cookies to bake with the kids and a house to put back together. 

(My husband is finishing up our flooring project and we're in a rush to get things in place before Christmas.)

I'm still feeling overwhelmed, but I was able to wrap a bunch of gifts today while the kids were on a playdate... so at least that task is almost finished. (Thanks, Lauren!)

Since I'll have more time at home this week, I've planned some more involved dinners. Perhaps spending more time in the kitchen will help me feel grounded.

If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner at our house, then keep reading!
