Prep for Thanksgiving

This year I am not hosting Thanksgiving because my hubby has to work :( I am still bummed about it but slowly have to come to terms with it.

Anyways I enjoy writing out to do lists and the menu all for Thanksgiving dinner. My mom is making the turkey and her delicious mashed potatoes. That leaves me with salad, rolls, green beans, corn, and dessert. Since my dad was diagnosed with diabetes last month I have begun to search for a sugar free dessert that all of us will enjoy. Any great recipes?

I recently came across some new recipes for side dishes which are prefect for Thanksgiving. We love everything traditional which I truly enjoy. So here they are: stuffing (we usually don't eat stuffing but this year i want to make some), glazed carrots (they looked delicious on television), and green bean casserole (a must have at every table). This year Kaden will be enjoying a turkey dinner. I'm excited to see him eat. Last year he had yams (maybe I will make it again and top the yams off with the tutti frutti marshmallows). I will post pics of all of my creations. I am going to cook everything at my home then head over to my parents.

As you begin to write out your list for dinner and all of the cleaning you need to do, please do not forget the meaning. This is a time we can share all that we are thankful for and also share the blessings with others. Invite others to your home and you will have a very blessed time.

Day 3 of Thankfulness

I am very thankful for our precious little boy! God blessed us with him and saw us fit to be his parents. Kaden is such a sweetie and I am learning so much (being a parent can be hard at times). He is growing up to learn about God's word, loving others, and having a kind & gentle spirit. Even though he does not tell us that he loves us, he expresses it with giant hugs and sweet kisses. Love him so so much!!

Day 2 of Thankfulness

I very thankful for my wonderful husband. He means so much to me and here is my feeble attempt to get as much as I can in this blog.

He is my best friend, the one person that I run to with my craziness, he always listens, always loves me more and never gets tired of me.

Did I mention that I love the fact that I can stay home and be with our handsome little boy. Being home has been a huge blessing and over joyed that my hubby has an amazing career that allows me this luxury. I know some ladies that have to work and/or are the sole provider of their family.

I am thankful for you everyday Matt and more in love with you than the first day we met. Thank you for loving me just for who I am (even when I am having bad days), and most of all thank you for reflecting all of your love onto Kaden!!!

Thankfulness

It is November 1st! Time sure does fly and I am starting my 30 days of thankfulness. Preparing my heart and mind for all of the blessings that I have daily.

I am first and foremost thankful for my Lord and Savior. I accepted Christ at a young age. As I have grown up (especially in the last few years), I have felt overjoyed to be loved by an amazing Heavenly Father. He knows my struggles, my weaknesses, he looks past them and loves me for who I am. I am created in His image to have a relationship with Him. It is so beautiful to know Christ and always sense His presence with me daily. When I am having a great day or a terrible day He is there to lead me, correct me, teach me, and most of all love me.

Do you have that relationship with Christ? He is there! Like a loving parent He has his arms wide open waiting for you to run into his arms. Many times people feel that they can not be loved this way but there is nothing that can separate us from Christ! He is a free gift and it never expires.

Join me as I continue through 29 more days of thankfulness.
