thank you

Have you sent out your Thank You notes after Christmas (or Hanukkah)?  It’s okay, I won’t tell on you if you haven’t yet!!! But now is most definitely the time!!!  I always go to a local stationery store to pick up a pack or two.  This year I went with grey + yellow chevron.  Kind…

Three!

College Prep turned three earlier this week!  I have no idea how I missed this big milestone… I couldn’t fall asleep the other night and I was trying to make a list of posts.  And somewhere along the train of my thought, I remembered!  I posted my first College Prep post just after Christmas.  (I…

Happy Hanukkah!

This year is a true true true Chrismukkah, which makes for very happy Heitlingers.  We celebrate both holidays and it’s always fun when there is an overlap. We’re having a Chrismukkah dinner on Christmas night with the extended family, so we are testing some recipes for the big night.  First up, sufganiyots.  (Also known as Jelly…

pajamas

Maybe it’s just me, but I think Christmas morning requires cute pajamas.  It’s probably just because when we were younger my sister and I always wore matching pajamas on Christmas Eve so we could look cute in the morning.  (I have extremely vivid memories of super tight elastic around the wrists of the nightgown that drove…
