| Fall Table |
Hey Guys! Yeah, I know. Long time, no blog.
I have several posts in draft mode, including another one on Mom Camp because yours truly was interviewed and quoted about Mom Camp in the December 2013 issue of Woman's Day Magazine (on stands now), updates on 80th bday parties for my mother & father-in-law & my daughter's bedroom makeover and a few more surprises. Those posts all need work, but I didn't want Thanksgiving to pass without a blog entry. So this post is simple. Reba had a small birthday lunch for her mother-in-law, Sherry (of Marriage Saving Pound Cake & Tamale Fame) and I made a Thanksgiving mantel that we are sharing. Plus 10 SUPER easy food presentation ideas for Thanksgiving that I love just in time to inspire you for the big day. Happy Turkey Day!
