Thinking of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving will be here in just a short little bit. Thanksgiving is also one of my very favorite holidays, I don’t like to shop, but I do like to cook.

I wrote up a little menu to get some ideas rolling around in my noggin…

  • Turkey
  • Ham
  • Stuffing
  • Dinner Rolls
  • Green Bean Casserole
  • Chicken Noodles
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Gravy

V: Scalloped Potatoes

V: Kale or Collard Greens

V: Vegan Loaf

and then the desserts…

  • Pumpkin Pie (2)
  • Cherry Pie
  • Apple Pie

Just seeing a menu coming together makes me want to prep the kitchen for all of the cooking!

Happy Fall

It is finally the first day of Autumn!!! I have never been more ready for this season to arrive.

It’s time for kitty naps!

More naps!

And lots of cozy crafting!!!

Goodness, I’m Behind

Well, I had hoped that once the kids were back to school, I would get the house back together, and get back to posting regularly. So far, neither one has happened. I have been busy running kids here and there, and spending way too much time at the grocery store. I’ve also had a bad migraine this week, so that set me back another day. Ugh…

I really need to get my stuff together…

And Just Like That, It’s June

May absolutely flew by, and the kids were out of school way too early this year. It seems like the weather started to warm up way too quickly, and poof it is now June.

Did I mention just how hot it is?!? Right now it is 95 F, but feels like 105 F, and it is seriously the first day of June!!! This Summer is going to be miserable…We are currently filling the pool, and I am currently hiding out from the Sun.

The kids have been out of school for almost three weeks already. They are bored, fighting, hungry, fighting, bored, and fighting constantly… Seriously, and 105 F weather, it is going to be a looooooong Summer.

I wish I had exciting plans for the month of June, but it is mostly just endless housework, and cooking, and breaking up fights between one brooding teen, one grumpy tween, and dealing with one screaming angry girl who acts like a tween even though she’s eight… And it feels like 105 F.

Ugh…
