Holiday meal prep, little cleaning, what I got for Christmas and a after Christmas shopping haul

Hey there my friends! Let's make some stuffed shells, a little rotini and a holiday favorite, sausage balls. Then a quick kitchen clean up and finally a little bit of after Christmas shopping.

I have the same kitchen aid. I got it 33 years ago. I use it all the time. You got a good one!!!

@@allioakley3372 I used it tonight for the first time it did great!

We got a few inches of snow. Christmas Eve I make Feast of 7 fishes. I'm Italian. Christmas day we made a big ham dinner. Tonight I made homemade Chinese food for New Year's Eve. Hubby and I just buy each other candy for Christmas. He gave me a beautiful card. What he wrote in it was so beautiful it brought me to tears. I am so blessed that God brought us together. I make different kinds of Italian cookies to give out to friends and neighbors. We live pretty simply I think. I'm so happy your whole family was with you. You are tired in this video but it's a good tired. You took care of everyone. That does a momma's heart happy. Now that's a Christmas blessing. ☺️💚❤️💚

@@allioakley3372 oh my goodness! I’m jealous of the snow. I do miss that part of living in the mid west. Sounds like some good eating at your house lol. My husbands is very sentimental as well. I love that about him. Yes momma tired for sure but I would do it all again to have the kids all here. Happy New Year friend!

Izzie, You cleaned up on your after Christmas haul. You lucked out on the kitchen mixer from goodwill. Glad you had such an awesome Christmas with your family. Happy New year Lady, look forward to seeing your videos in 2025. You are one blessed women.

@@summersells4380 thank you! Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year, Izzie! I admire how you hosted so many family members and seem so easy going at the same time. That doesn’t come naturally to me but I’ve become much better about focusing on the right things and knowing what’s most important. I experience more of the joy of the season now. What a lovely anniversary party you threw for your parents😄. And oh how I know missing your kids when the holidays are done. I traveled after Christmas to be with my oldest daughter and family and arrived home last night. It’s too quiet here. May 2025 bring blessings galore to you and yours!

[@Imperfecthomemaking]

@@SandraRossmann Happy New Year! Yes I had a case of the mommy blues lol. I love having family over, I’ve decided to make Sundays our family day and do simple dinners. I’m so excited. Thank you for your support and friendship! Have a wonderful week!
