Our interpretation of The New Year’s Resolution😊

by HouseResortLeave a Comment on Our interpretation of The New Year’s Resolution😊

Yes we all have seen it!!. Gym classes are packed, new faces around the track, and more people than usual walking around the park.

This New Year, we are putting together a mental list of anything and everything that we like to try and we haven’t had the chance or the nerves to actually, well try.

Making a list of the different food, ingredients, fruits, and snacks we haven’t tried to make or eat.

Tackling a chore around the house that never have the time to start.

Or reading books, or favorite movies to watch for the first time or the umpteen  times.

Whatever you put down to accomplish next year, we hope you have fun doing it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Ginger Bread Cookies, ✔️

by HouseResortLeave a Comment on Ginger Bread Cookies, ✔️

We love baking ginger bread cookies after thanksgiving, and taking them to our friends. A day late, and our friends ask for them. And it is a great way to keep kids busy when they are not playing outside. We use Martha Stewart’s recipe for our cookies.

Wrapped up in a clear cellophane wrap with a bow, we take them to neighbors, friends, teachers, and school crossing  guards.
