Thanksgiving Books and Recipes to Share with the Kids
Image courtesy of Old Design Shop It’s almost Thanksgiving! Tis the season to be thankful! It’s always time to be thankful, of course, but I love this time of year because many people take the time to remind themselves and share with others what they are thankful for. This is a time to reconnect with my kids and discuss what we have to be thankful for. Instead of having a sit-down conversation, we share our thoughts while we’re in the kitchen baking and trying new recipes. And we read stories together.

Breaking Bread with Brooke Burke
With the holidays upon us hosting or attending family dinners can be so much fun or chaotic or a little of both don’t you think? One of my favorite memories is the year my mother thought it would be fun to have a food fight on Thanksgiving. Yes, we were all sitting around the table enjoying our turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole (well, at the time my mom was the only one who liked that dish), and dinner rolls when my mom picked up a handful of mashed potatoes and threw them at my dad, laughing the whole time. After a few moments of complete shock…
