2010 Gluten Free Thanksgiving Menu

Posted in Holidays, and Homemaking

I thought it would be fun to blog through our Thanksgiving menu, so today, the plan is to blog about our Thanksgiving prep.  My plan is to post recipes and pictures for the various items on our Thanksgiving menu throughout the day.  Here’s what our menu looks like this year. What do you think?  Am I missing anything?  I’d love to hear your plans for Thanksgiving this year.  If you’ve posted a menu on your blog, please leave a link in the comments as I’d like to stop by and see it.

NBC Family Movie Night: A Walk in My Shoes

Posted in Announcements, and Commercial Break

As you know, we really enjoy our family movie nights.  It’s always nice to be able to sit down together as a family with some popcorn and/or yummy snacks while you watch a wholesome, family-friendly movie.  You know, the type of movie that seems to be becoming more and more rare these days.
