Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful day filled with giving thanks, counting blessings & being with family & loved ones.
I hope you have enjoyed reading & following my own journey of Gratitude this past month. I know that I really have grown to appreciate things a lot more when you have to stop & think about all the little things in your daily life that there is to be grateful for.

3- My Grandma Hall's stuffing {YUM- I can't wait to gobble up some today & spend time with her & the Hall side of my family}
Happy {Turkey} Day everyone. Hope you all have a wonderful day & weekend ahead. Say this on Studio 5 last week & loved the idea. I'm going to make one for our home next year. Loved it!
