Day #76 and My Lucky Day!

I'm a winner!  I've never won anything in blogland before until today!

 And the winner is Allisha from Cooking My Way,2011. Congrats.

Now you are probably wondering where and what did I win....
First I want to thank Pine Tree Home for offering this fabulous giveaway.  I love this blog!  Great ideas, helpful hints, and so inspiring.  I won a design board for a room of my choice from Second Street East, another really cool blog.   I can't wait to see what Michelle comes up with for our family room!

So I didn't get around to baking my cookies from yesterday.  I put them in the refrigerator to chill and simply forgot about them.  I am trying to get my house all snazzy for my Mom who is coming to stay for spring break.  Plus I had two sick boys at home.  Needless to say I didn't get much done.  The oven is preheating now and I hope to have these cookies done within the hour since I can bake four cookie sheets at a time!  Woo hoo! 

 I haven't said much about my AWESOME new range since it has arrived, but I must admit I am still in love.  It's both easier and harder to keep the stove top clean than I expected.  I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to use my Le Creuset tea kettle on the stove top until I read the manual.  It is enamel on steel, a little bummed.  I had searched for a new tea kettle for almost a month and finally just bought an electric one.  I'm also confused why GE put two lights in the smaller upper oven and only one in the bigger lower oven.  Sure a man designed it who has never baked anything!  One other thing, if you have a bad back or knees I would not recommend this range.  The bottom oven is a lot lower that I remembered when looking in the store.  Good thing I am low to the ground in the first place!

      Spring break officially start tomorrow here and we will be on the road to pick up my Mom at my sister's.  Can't wait to see my little nieces and the cutest nephew!
