I spent a little time tonight with the calculator. Turns out this is my 605th blog post. Did you know that Kristin’s Glas is my 3rd blog and Homemade Frontier is my 4th? 

To amuse you, and me, I’m reposting my first ever blog post, published December 7th, 2006. I was pregnant with my youngest. 

After much debate and hesitation I am committing to a blog!! I can’t just be lurking around reading everyone else’s and not contribute my share.

So here I am.

My 2 year old and I decorated a gingerbread house this morning. It was a rather big cheat, it was a premade package that came from Costco, icing and candies included. I DO NOT enjoy rolling out dough and the edges are always thinner and burn.

My little helper was not really interested in decorating and dedicated herself to chief taster. She did the little men in the front and the 2 big men, you can see one covered in icing.

It went together really well and was lots of fun, also good and messy.

And because it’s the Christmas season here’s our tree.

We are seriously lacking ornaments on the bottom half, there are some but they are likely busy playing at present. Very excited about the knitted advent calendar that anny purls introduced me to! Likely will not have that done (or even started) for this advent season but next year. As there will be more ornament players next year it will be perfect!

There you have it. Fairly plain as blog posts go but here I am 605 posts later. Actually 606 because I have a post up at Homemade Frontier today too. 

Can I dare you to republish your first blog post?
