This table runner is one of my most sentimental mom projects we've done to date. Those little hands grow so quickly, and having something that captures all the stages is pretty special. Let me tell you how to make your own turkey table runner keepsake. Once upon a time, I shared this Thanksgiving playdate we had with friends. Over the years, I've had numerous messages and emails asking questions about how I did it. I'm pretty sure that original post was two computers ago, and I can't find the Continue Reading

At the bottom of the post I'll reveal our $50 Dancing Zebras giveaway grand prize winner! Last week, we started our thankful tree, and it has been a lot of fun. Every night at dinner, we go around the table and say one thing we are thankful for. I write down these things and hang them on our "tree". It has been so inspiring to hear what each child is thankful for Continue Reading
