Thankfulness

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Jamie H

It’s the time of year when everyone is talking about thankfulness. But I have to admit– sometimes I don’t feel thankful. I can have a tendency to focus on the negatives. Maybe some of you are that way too? I think we’ve all got areas of our lives where the bad stands out. Maybe it’s the loud-mouthed, know-it-all relative you’re going to be spending the holidays with? Maybe it’s the friend who makes you so frustrated because she lets everyone walk all over her and take advantage of her? Maybe it’s the place you live. I know I can get

We Are Thankful Wreath

Posted on November 4, 2014 by Lucy

A hand print wreath with fall colors that is a great craft to kids to make to remind them to be thankful throughout the month of November. The kids and I always do some sort of “Thankful” or “Thanksgiving” project every year. We started with Thanksgiving trees many years ago and we used hand prints for the leaves and I loved it. Last year, I wanted to do something different, so we made thankful jars. And dropped acorns in every day and said what we were thankful for. But of course, this year I had to do something

Croissants

The Thanksgiving Dishes series continues today. Be sure to check out all the recipes to fill your Thanksgiving Table. I made croissants once before, last fall. Because there has been so much time in between then and this time making, I forgot how long these take. They aren’t difficult to make, there is just a lot of time involved with the rising, chilling, chilling, chilling, rising and baking. So when you start this have a whole day to do it. This is one of those foods that I see why you buy the ones in the can. But in my pursuit to

Preschool Thanksgiving Place Holders

Posted on November 15, 2013 by Jamie H

This year for Thanksgiving, the kids helped make place holders. These were really easy, although I did have a hard time finding large enough pom poms for the turkey’s head. Which is why they’re a bit hairy- I ended up using pom poms that would go on the top of a knit hat instead of craft pom poms. What you need: -Empty cans (I used my Pampered Chef can opener to open the cans so that there wouldn’t be any sharp edges. For a similar-type can opener, look at this OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener) – Brown spray

Thanksgiving Placemats for Kids with Printable

Posted on November 14, 2013 by Lucy

We have been having a great time preparing for Thanksgiving with our thankful jars. But I thought it would be fun to make a craft as well. My oldest daughter had made a pretty cute Thanksgiving placemat in preschool last year so I thought we could make some this year and put our own spin on it. I actually did this with my Sunday school class first, which several of my children are a part of and then made some more at home. I made a printable with one of my favorite verse about giving thanks. This

Thankful Jars {Counting our blessings}

Posted on November 7, 2013 by Lucy

Normally we do a Thanksgiving Tree with the children in the month of November. But this year, I wanted to do something different. Lots of times when I’m trying to come up with an idea, I walk around outside. I really wanted to do this on the day I was trying to decide what to do this year, but it was pouring. So I sat by my window and was thinking about all that is out there. My brain settled on acorns. We have tons of acorns underneath our trees; we could use those to count our blessings! So we

Thanksgiving Recipes to Stuff your Tummy

Posted on November 5, 2013 by Kerry

This time of year we get to eat most of our favorite comfort foods. Thanksgiving is known for having so many yummy foods. I go into the holiday season knowing a diet is pointless. I have lots of will power, but I allow myself to splurge for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The potatoes, cranberries, rolls, sweet potatoes, turkey, ham and all the desserts are just too much for this girl. This month we will be sharing several of our favorite recipes for Thanksgiving. I’m also going to be learning to make dinner rolls this month as my goal. I
