12 Days of Christmas! Day 9: Gingerbread Palooza, Q+A and a Giveaway! {CLOSED}
Yes, I made gingerbread with my little ginger.
If you guys have been reading my blog for a few years, you might remember that two years ago, the night before I had Max, I went to my parents’ house and we made a gingerbread house. I was in labor while doing it (but didn’t really know I was) and it’s sort of been a tradition ever since! The houses. Not the labor.
This year, my dad and I tried out the gingerbread village from Target. I loved it so much! It was so fun getting to decorate a few different mini houses.
Max and I also mixed up gingerbread dough to bake cookies dough. It’s chilling in the fridge and I can’t wait.
ALSO! I’m going to film a Q+A video this week, so ask whatever you want to ask in the comments, on instagram, on twitter or in an email! xo
Yesterday’s giveaway winner for the Madewell Tote is Stacy S who said “I’m grateful for the people that love me and my kids….without them, I don’t know where we would be.”
Congrats Stacy! Please email me at howsweeteats (at) gmail (dot) com with your mailing address!

New Years Eve is kind of up in the air right now. Usually we just stay home but a good friend of mine has invited us over. But my MIL is very ill and on hospice so we’re leaving everything open.

we will be in RI with our good friends and families!
My husband and I will drive about an hour away to spend NYE with family and extended family. We do this every year. There’s usually about 40 – 50 people at the party each year. My extended family is Spanish, so in true Spanish custom the new year is rung in with a mouth full of grapes (you eat 1 grape a second for the last 12 seconds of the old year. It’s to bring good luck to each month of the new year.).
My husband and I are babysitting our grandkids on New Years Eve. We are going to watch movies, karaoke and order pizza.
I follow you on FB, but sadly at work I can’t access youtube to follow you there for a third entry.
