liZ and I had the opportunity to come up with a fun #turkeytablescape for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store's challenge to put together a Thanksgiving table for your family. And this challenge was a fun one for us. Even from the beginning, we knew we wanted to do a kid's table---and make it simple and kid-friendly, which are two things we love. So, off we went with our gift card in hand (thanks to Jo-Ann!) to buy all the necessities for our table. And here's what started the whole ... View the Post
$5 Friday Thanksgiving Favors (I’m Thankful for You Because…)
Today's post is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now but never have.

Advent Calendar Activities Ideas
A few years back my parents gave me this beautiful advent calendar: I love it. They gave one to each of their children on Thanksgiving and filled each door with notes, candy, activities, pocket money, etc. It was so fun to open the door every day and find what little goodie was in store for us.
