I love gathering at the table. I didn’t realize until I moved away how awesome my parents were for making us have dinner around the table each night. (And with 9 kids and friends always over, I can imagine this wasn’t an easy feat!) But there’s something special about sharing a meal together. It grounds you. It sets whatever you’re separated by to the side for a moment, and you’re all untied by the basic simple necessity of eating.

And Thanksgiving is a time for pure, thankful hearts to gather as a family and converse sweetly around a table; so no one is going to be awkward, get drunk, or sit without anything to say right? Probably 100% wrong.
But that’s ok! Sometimes we just need a little prompt to get us all on the same level. It’s growing more and more important to see how our family and friends are truly doing. In this day of social media perfection, it’s hard to find the courage, (let alone the conversational transition) that allows you to dive deep, to open up, and really see each other in a true light.

Let’s get started, I don’t want to waste your ‘thyme’. XD (Ps. the cooking jokes are not going to stop. #sorrynotsorry)
Read MoreThe time has come! The air is crisp, leafs are falling, acorns are plentiful, and there might even be a pine cone or two on the ground. But let's not forget the best part; you don't have to buy craft supplies anymore! You can collect all the free goodness the outdoors has to offer.
This little garland is a super simple favorite of mine. I don't like storing bulky decorations year after year, and since this garland is easy to dissemble, and primarily organic materials, it can easily be updated every year with new foliage!
Read MoreIs there anything better then fall? It's such a romantic transition before years end. One of my favorite things to do during this season is bring the outside in! Windows open, collecting all the wonderful fall textures, pinecones, pumpkins, and of course - leaves! Since Florida currently does not have any fall leaves for me, I've created my own! This free leaf printable can be used for many different crafts, but I've started with a neutral colored, lush, leaf garland.
