Thanksgiving Tablescapes

I was working on this year's Thanksgiving tablescape design and as such, I was looking back to see what I have done in the past. It is amazing what you can do with the same set of china and flatware and a little imagination.

I added some green touches in 2006:

It was burgundy and gold in 2007:

I revisited the green with a different centerpiece in 2008:

Gold and orange adorned my table last year:

This year, I am thinking about brown...

Happy Wordless Wednesday at 5 Minutes for Mom and Wordful Wednesday on parenting By dummies!

Thanksgiving Schedule

I am tackling a Thanksgiving Schedule for Tackle It Tuesday with 5 Minutes for Mom . This is my plan and you can print it for your reference if you like. Keep in mind that my dinner is this Saturday instead of next Thursday. Your dates would move back and forth according to when you are hosting your dinner party:-)


Happy Planning:-)

Thanksgiving Planning

I am head-deep into Thanksgiving planning so, no new recipe today however, check out my new blog update. The slider is there for your reading enjoyment. Each month, I will highlight my material which will be most revelant to you at that time. I hope you enjoy the new feature:-)

Also, to help with Meal Planning, I have posted my calendar on my home page too. It's called, "What's for Dinner this Week?"AND, if you click on something that sounds good, it will take you to the recipe. If the recipe sounds good, I got it print friendly for you too! Cool, right?

Thanksgiving Herbs

I started them late but I think I will have enough sage and thyme for my Thanksgiving dinner:-) Whew!

True Beauty

I was really trying not to post pictures of my girls but how can I not when they are this beautiful?

New Gardens

Look at what my husband built for me:


Two new gardens to fill with black gold and and yummies in the spring. I CAN'T wait!!
