What I'm Reading This Week #32

Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week?  It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week.  I'll take it though.  We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed.  What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms?  It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms.  I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall.  Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word).  It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off.  I was working besid...

Holiday Hostess with the Mostest



Are you the house everyone gathers at for the holidays, the big game and the best thing you invested in was a ton of folding chairs to accommodate everyone?  No?  How about this?  Do you like to do little spreads for you and your honey whether it's the holidays or not?  I've got some pretty cool finds that will help keep hot stuff hot, cold stuff cold and your schedule hummin'.  







If you don't want to keep the stove on to keep things warm while everyone eats, this roll up heating tray is awesome to keep bowls of mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls or whatever you fancy.  This is also good if you're traveling and you can plug it in and make sure the dish you bring stays piping hot.  (How I wish I had this in the family gathering days so my stuffing stayed warm.)







If you have a big ol' table that you usually have to carefully place side dishes where you can.  Put this in the middle, put your taters, mac and cheese, cheeseball and other goodies on each pad and then rotate the pad to either side to move the next dish in front of you.  Pretty cool!!






Nobody likes warm crudité veggies to nosh on while people arrive.  Make sure that never happens again with this nifty serving caddy!  Put ice in the bottom and keep the cold stuff cold and covered because you KNOW someone is showing up with some creeping crud they'll try to share. 






If your peeps are all about the cakes and pies for the holidays, this pie safe is adjustable to fit pies, cakes, cupcakes, tarts and the like.  It fits for normal sized pies and has a door to keep them all dog hair, dust and cooties free while they're waiting on you to dig in!  Order early on this one as it's not two day delivery.







This thing is a God send not only if you're traveling and bringing sides/desserts but it can be used to keep things warm while you're using the oven.  (Like keep cooked rolls in here or stuffing if you still need to use the oven.)  Truly one of the best things I own.






I'm SO getting this for cookie baking day because I'm always having to write down what timer is for what between the oven and microwave.  This could be a God send for baking day, the actual holiday, game day, etc.  I have other Taylor products so I hope this one is as good.

I have to say I really wish we had enough people to justify that centerpiece plate spinner thingy because that looks so cool!  😁  I hope these have given you some cool ideas for holiday entertaining to help make the day run a little smoother.  Lord knows we all need a little help whether it's two people or twenty!

Do any of these look appealing to you?

  1. Those are some great ideas. I do wish we had room for that lazy Susan thing but it would be useless for two people.

  2. These are all fantastic! I have a double casserole carrier and have given those as gifts. I also have the whiteboard timer and bought one for my mom. Super helpful when I've had multiple things in the oven or keeping track of cooling times in the fridge or freezer. I think you'll like it!
