Thanksgiving time!
Welcome to our Thanksgiving home! Come on in and we’ll show you how we decorate for the upcoming Mash Potato day. I have to call it that since most people say Turkey Day and it can’t be Turkey day when you’re a Vegetarian. 🙂 Here’s my beautiful...

Woodsy PeaHens
We had our fun little neighborhood potluck this past weekend and wanted to share some fun photos of how we dressed and what we made. We all decided on a “Woodsy” Woodland theme since some of the costumes were purchased last year on sale. One of the...
