Thanksgiving kicks off with FREE Printables!
Thanksgiving! It's long been one of my hands-down favorite holidays, and I'm so grateful, no pun intended, that this season of gratitude has proven more resistant to the trappings of commercialism than our other celebrations.

It was the middle of another sleepless night in a long line of sleepless nights and my daughter-in-law had one leg hoisted over the side of Weston the Wonder Boy baby bed when common sense prevailed.
