The Mess Of Christmas Cookies And Biz

Disclaimer: This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Biz Stain Fighter. All opinions are 100% mine.

My boys make a mess when decorating cookies

 Our favorite Christmas tradition is making cookies. My boys love when we make cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. They love to pull out all the cookie cutters and every color of sprinkles that we have in the pantry. I make the sugar cookie dough and roll it out. The boys then select their favorite Christmas cookie cutters and press them into the cookie dough. We are all covered in flour but the fun has only begun.

The decorating is the most fun

  My boys always have so much fun decorating the Christmas cookies. The youngest always spreads way too much frosting on his cookies for Santa and much of it ends up on his shirt. When my boys add the sprinkles to the cookies, I think most of the sprinkles end up on the floor. The older kids love using the red-hot candies on their cookies, so much that Santa has requested no more. We all agree that eating the holiday cookies are the best part of making cookies. Then all the kids select their favorite cookie to leave out on Christmas Eve for Santa. Santa sure does love cookies and milk!

Mom is left with the mess!

 Once the cookie decorating is done, I am left with the mess that is all over the kitchen. That mess always extends to the kid's clothes. I am not bothered by all the mess as this is always my favorite time of Christmas. My older kids have fond memories of baking cookies.

Biz to the rescue!

  This mom has the power of Biz to remove all those stains that my boys manage to get all over their clothes from decorating the cookies. This Stain Fighter removes the stains from the frosting that my youngest son wipes all over his shirt. I like that Biz has MORE STAIN FIGHTING INGREDIENTS than most laundry products. Different stains require different ingredients to eliminate them. Science shows that there is no one single ingredient that cleans everything well. I always reach for Biz Stain Remover for all the stains on my boy's clothes. I love that I can pretreat all laundry stains with one product. Biz is my go-to laundry product. It is also great to add to the whole wash and helps get out those stains that my boys forgot to tell me about.

MORE STAIN FIGHTING INGREDIENTS

Biz has all the stain fighting ingredients in one bottle


  I am not going to let stains ruin my fun during the holidays. I don't stress about all the mess that my boys get all over their clothes as they are decorating Christmas cookies. I relax and enjoy the holiday memories that I am making with my boys as all too soon they will grow up. I can't wait until my new granddaughter is old enough to make cookies with grandma. She can use all the frosting and sprinkles on her cookies as she wants as this grandma/mom has the stain fighting power of Biz Stain Lifter!

Gramma in a Box Thanksgiving Sweet Projects

Celebrating fall with a delicious Thanksgiving from Gramma!

 The temperatures have become cooler here. The mornings are chilly but it warms up enough in the afternoon for a nice outdoor run. With the holidays coming up, I have been quite busy with my website so it has been hard to find time with the boys. So I love when Gramma sends a box of goodies so I can create some sweet treats with my boys. The best part is everything that we need to decorate cookies and make some fun treats is in the box. I am glad that Gramma put this awesome box together so I can have some quality time with my boys that require no running to the store to get the ingredients so we can make cookies. I don't have to make a mess in the kitchen and we can get to the fun part of making cookies, the decorating and eating! My boys and I sure do love making cookies.

The monthly Gramma in a Box includes cookies, frosting, and sprinkles

 This months box of treats was perfect for fall and Thanksgiving. I knew that the treats were going to taste so delicious, as this is the third box that the boys have received. Previous boxes that the boys made goodies with were a fun emoji cookie box and an ocean-themed treat box. I think the best part of these delicious sweet activity boxes is the yummy cookies that come in them. These cookies also come with three colors of ready to use frosting tubes so the boys can get to the fun right away. The treat boxes come with all the ingredients that we need to make three treats and they are all individually packaged in small containers. The recipe cards are easy for my boys to follow and they could make the treats without my help but I always join in on the fun as I like making cookies with them.

Plenty of treats to share

 There is always plenty of delicious treats so after the boys make the goodies, they share them with mom and dad. The boys and I agree that the best part of making cookies is the eating. My youngest loves to eat all the leftover frosting. The Gramma Boxes are always a great way to spend some time with my boys.

A Planner Is a Must Have Tool For Smart Bloggers

Want to succeed at blogging?

I bought the above planner and then decided to become an affiliate for the company as I loved the planner.

I knew I was successful at blogging when I needed some way to keep track of all my work assignments and money that I was earning. So I knew that I needed a Planner so I could be organized and make the best of my time. Taking care of a family and working on my website is more than a full-time job. So it made perfect sense to me to invest in a planner that was going to help me organized and keep track of all that I needed to do every day. Having a planner has also helped me to make more money.

A planner helps me to make more money!

  I just bought my 4th monthly planner and this one is the best yet. I have learned over the years what works and what does not work in blogging and I have realized that a calendar from the drugstore is way too basic for a blogger. I learned that I needed more than just a monthly calendar to look at. The planner that I use now has weekly and daily calendars with plenty of spaces for me to write things down. I also learned that to make money from blogging, I needed to spend money. This year I transformed my old office into a photo studio/workspace and it has helped me manage my time better. I love all the storage that this room has. I can quickly grab what I need to take photos. The doors are my favorite part of the room so when my job gets crazy, I can close the doors.

Making a list and checking things off

   I am a list maker and I tend to get more done when I can write it down. I also love it when I can check off the boxes when I complete the task. My new planner has 17 months and goes through the end of 2019. I am kind of bummed that I did not see the 18th-month planner that starts in January 2019  and ends June 2020. I will make sure to order that one next year as I like that I can look way ahead with planning. I already have several conferences scheduled for next October.

Order your 2019-2020 planner by December 15th for awesome savings!

Easy to see tabs are always good

 I like that my new planner has colorful tabs so I can easily get to the month that I need. In fact, the whole planner makes me smile when I use it as it is so bold with color. There is even a space to write down all the contacts for people that I work with. I love that it even has a line for emails.

Way too much to remember in a year

  Do you ever forget a doctor's appointment? The one that I always forget is the dentist. They schedule the cleanings 6 months in advance and I have to always reschedule them when they call me a week before. Now I can write the appointments down as well as other important days like birthdays in my new planner.

Stickers are always fun

  Do you love stickers? I sure do and they are so fun to stick on my calendar. They sure do brighten my day when I see them. My new planner has way much more and I am still discovering things like pockets in both front and back. Then there are different colors for things as well as spaces for me to keep track of expenses and money. I love that I can check off when I get paid for an assignment. This planner is not only great for bloggers as it is so useful for moms, students, and more. It reminds me of what I need to do every day with my website and family life. This binder planner is always right next to me when I am working on my laptop. I am glad that it is so durable as I seem to open it and close it every day.

The time to order your monthly planner for next year is now!

  Have you ordered your planner for next year? You want to have your planner ready by January so you can start keeping track of all those things that you need to do. The holidays are always super busy so you don't want to forget to buy one. The planner that I bought is on sale right now and with my coupon code momknowsbest you can save an additional 30% off. Get it now and after Christmas, you can spend some me time filling it all in with those important dates. I need to get some colorful markers for my planner as color just brightens my day. GO to denisealbright.com and use my momknowsbest at checkout to get 30% off of your order. I would hurry as this code is only good through December 15th, 2018.
