I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We celebrated twice! Once on Thanksgiving and then again on Friday. We also finally managed our first pic as a family of six. We were running late getting out the door for Thanksgiving, but we were all dressed and clean and I had even managed a shower so it seemed like as good of time as any. The kids were anxious to get going. We piled on the couch, set the timer and did a few takes. Of course, when I looked at the pictures later there ...

I was lucky enough to get to rock some of Jen Hadfield's Home + Made line (Tatertots & Jello). I guest posted over there, doing my own little Anthro inspired recipe box. If you didn't catch it over at Tatertots & Jello, I will be posting the details soon. I got a nice little box of goodies to create with. The recipe box, of course, inspired these printable recipe cards. That, of course inspired, these printable recipe cards for marriage. Perfect for a wedding shower or to include ...
