Before the big day gets here, I wanted to share a few favorite recipes for anyone interested in some last minute menu ideas. We're having Thanksgiving lunch/dinner (and 2nd dinner) at our house this year so we started the cooking and baking early this morning! Since this is the first year that we are actually hosting Thanksgiving, we're hoping to create a few new traditions... like...
Friday Favorites
6:48 AM
I think everyone is so ready for the weekend and to have a nice relaxing time with family next week! But before we sign off for the weekend and start the feast-tivities I wanted to share a few Friday favorites! (And a couple can be incorporated into your Thanksgiving plans!)

Thanksgiving Day Style

Juliet's 2nd Birthday Kitty Cat Party
1:42 PM
We just finished cleaning up the tissue paper off the floor and ice cream off our faces from Juliet's 2nd birthday! It has been the 2nd fastest year of my life but definitely the most fun by far.
