Recipe: Apple Cider

This is from one of my Air Force wife friends, Maggie. She brought it to a cookie exchange a few weeks ago and I have made it 3 or 4 times since then. It's a big hit. I love it.

4 cups of Apple Cider
2 cups of Cranberry juice
2-3 cinnamon sticks
1 orange (sliced)
a dash of all spice
whole cloves

I put it all in a saucepan and heat it up. It makes your house smell like Christmas! It is my new favorite christmastime drink. Thanks Maggie!!

Gratitude: My Family

I just want to take a second and tell everyone how grateful I am for my family. My kids have been such angels today, and my husband has been so helpful. I haven't been feeling well the past few weeks, and he has let me take as many long naps as I need while he is home. I know that he is so stressed and busy, but his family always comes first. And I am so grateful for that. I love them all so much. I couldn't be more blessed.
