I had purchased some red fleece a while back for something (I don’t remember what), so I decided to make Munchkin some new pjs. Once I had the pjs made, Munchkin said that they looked like a Santa outfit except they didn’t have white. I pulled out some white scraps that we had and put on the cuffs. Munchkin loved her new cozy pjs and felt all set for Christmas. On Thanksgiving Day, I put up the Christmas tree (pre-lit), but I didn’t get the decorations down.

The turkey looks huge for just the 2 of us, and it was. We have lots of leftover turkey for the freezer for future use.

Now, I’ve never made a pie crust (usually make the filling with Libby’s pie filling and buy pie crust). This was a new experience on 2 accounts: first pie crust and first gluten-free pie. Once the pie crust was ready, Munchkin decided that she wanted to roll…
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been bombarded with all of these ideas about the perfect Thanksgiving or the perfect Christmas. There are all kinds of lists and articles being published on how to create the perfect holiday. The only problem is that these types of lists and articles are really setting us up for failure (according to their standards). Thinking about this, I started to ponder on what is my idea of a perfect holiday. Truly, it has nothing to do with the decorations (even though I love decorating) or the perfect meal (although I love preparing a…
