First, I want to say thank you to everyone for their kind words regarding my blog being "under construction". I have finally managed to get most things in place, and am very happy with how things turned out. I now have labels for all my past posts so you can easily find things, and I have a separate tab for recipes I have shared on my blog as well. My about me page has been updated a bit, and the house tour is coming soon! This has all been a learning experience for me as I have only been blogging a little over a year now.
I wanted to share something that one of our associate pastors at our church shares with us each year at Thanksgiving. It is called the Thanksgiving ABCs. We too often forget to name the things we are truly thankful for, and this is an easy way of doing so. Easy enough that even your little ones can get in on it! It is as simple as listing your ABCs...
A...autumn colors
B...blogs
C...chocolate
D...dogs
E...eternal life
F...friends
G...(my) girls
H...hubby
Well, you get the picture! Some things are serious, others just everyday things we often take for granted, and a few that are just plain fun.
While the blog was under construction, we have been working on quite a few projects (the basement is now painted and almost ready for a reveal) and some super yummy recipes.
Thanks for hanging in there with me! I am going to try and get the Teacher Gift series up for next week.
