What I'm Reading This Week #50

Top of the morning to you and welcome to mid December!  Next week is when a lot of shipping deadlines go into effect so if you don't have your shopping done for your out of towners, tis the season to shake your tail feathers!  I thankfully have my peeps done, I need to slip some moolah into two cards for my local friend to put with his cookies and I think I'm done.  The one friend I shopped on prime day back in July and did both her birthday and Christmas to save some dough.  High five to past me.

Now let's celebrate:

7 Lower Back Stretches to Reduce Pain and Improve Mobility  (All ones I can't live without and yet need to do more.  But this always comes in handy for those DEEP spots stretches can't get.)

14 Melting Potato Recipes That Are the Ultimate Combination of Creamy and Crispy  (Yum!  These will get you through the winter for sure!)

Here’s How Long It Takes Before Your Muscles Decondition  (In case you're taking a break over the holidays but then get back to pumpin' iron!)

5 Micro-Meditations to Reduce Stress  (Good tips heading into the thick of holiday season!)

You Can Make That Store-Bought Pie Crust Look Homemade  (Hey, some years you've got to 'cheat.')

Avoid These Four Common Mistakes When Driving on Black Ice  (Tis the season.  Be careful out there!  Also, keep a pair of these in your car in case you realize too late the area you parked has black ice around it.)

5 Ways to Survive Your Next Family Gathering (For those who have to brace up as part of their holiday preparations)

13 Ideas for the Empty Christmas Stocking  (For my grievers)

Experts Say Family Estrangement Is Often A ‘Last Resort,’ But Can Be A Necessary And Healthy Option  (Not everyone is celebrating with family this year.)

12 “Polite” Ways You’re Talking About Grief That Are Actually Hurtful  (Something to remember whether it's someone's first year of loss or more)

12 Classic Movies You Didn’t Realize Were Actually Christmas Movies  (Well, this is an interesting list.  In case you need an unorthodox list after the classics.)

It's cookie baking weekend.  My goal is always to get them baked Sunday night and wrapped to go out first thing Monday morning.  I'll have to check with my local for a drop off time and freeze our doughs since we do ours next week.  I need to break out my baking time cheat sheet and make sure the table is cleared off for maximum wrapping room.

What are you into this weekend my fine friends?
