Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Thanksgiving is my husband’s all-time favorite holiday! Gavin really loves Thanksgiving the most because he loves the large meal, the table surrounded by loved ones, and no gifts to be bought, wrapped, and dispersed. I don’t have a favorite – I simply enjoy them all. To me it is all about being with family …

You all know that I am with Hillary. This election cycle has been like none that I have ever known. As much as I am proud to be an American and thankful for our constitutional right to vote – I am ready for this campaigning season to end. As a young girl, I used to say that …
Right now I am not sure if I will be celebrating the end of the campaign or celebrating Hillary’s win, but celebrate I will. Tomorrow I will tell you more about the party that I am planning. I’m totally excited about the fun and yummy menu that I am putting together. For today I am …
We held our first Trunk or Treat last Thursday evening at our school. I have heard of Trunk or Treating but have never participated in one before.
