Trick or Treat

Print

October just happens to be one my favorite months of the year. In fact Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday.

I love Halloween Costumes.

Halloween Decorations.

Halloween Weather.

Oh, and of course Halloween Treats.

My favorite part of Halloween is the dressing up. For one day getting to be anything, or anyone you want to be. It is awesome.

In honor of my most favorite month of the year I want to post a daily post of yours and of course my favorite Halloween traditions.

We will all get to do our own Virtual Trick or Treating. All you have to do is write a post sharing your favorite Halloween tradition, picture, treat ANYTHING that has ANYTHING to do with Halloween. After your done send me a link of your post and every day I will share with everyone. At the end of the month the post with the comments will win a treat.

I'm very excited and looking forward to all of your post. I will start with my very own post tomorrow. I'm pretty excited to dig through some old Halloween pics and share.

I have to go for now. Tonight we are celebrating with our first ever family scary movie night.

Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice!!!!

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...
