We try so hard to live up to what others are doing and yet we come to find out, they're not doing so great. (Apologies to all of my friends whose last names end in Jones :) you know it's just a saying).

Week 13 ~ Accept Help!
This week as I sat down to write our challenge I was actually stumped...Then it came to me via chicken pot pie! Let me back track for a moment. Yesterday on my day off, I decided to take it upon myself to move all of the Christmas decorations into the house and get started on the big task at hand.
