Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! Wow, how this season has zoomed by. What is everyone doing for the holiday? Anyone traveling anywhere adventurous or exciting?
I’m staying in Dallas to cover the holiday at work, but that doesn’t keep me from doing a little bit of an annual tradition – Black Friday shopping! This year, because of my schedule, almost everything will be done online. With lots of men in my family, including sweet twin nephews, I will be spending a good portion of my time in the men’s sections. I solicited help from one of my brother’s in compiling a list of desirable gifts that are $30 or less. Gift with good taste and innovative technology without breaking the bank!
Cranberries and pine cones are like Santa and Rudolph, like Frosty and his button nose, like Elf and maple syrup. They just pair so nicely together during the holidays! I have always loved a little rustic touch for the holiday season, and this cranberry and pine cone garland brings the holiday joy to mantles, Christmas trees and window ledges. Use this for both Thanksgiving and Christmas interior decor.
Hey y’all! Today is my birthday and I could not think of a better way to celebrate than with Operation Christmas Child during their National Collection Week! Each year I look forward to making a shoebox stuffed with gifts for children, and Operation Christmas Child then brings them to underserved areas around the world. These shoeboxes function not only as presents for the children but also as a way to share the Gospel of Jesus. Putting together the boxes brings so much joy to the kids – and me!
A few days ago it was rainy, cooler and I wanted something healthy but satisfying. I decided to try something a little out of my norm: braised cabbage. I had heard good things about braised cabbage, but wondered if it really lived up to its reputation. Braised cabbage…good? I had my doubts but this apple braised cabbage is not only good, but it’s also savory, filling and delicious without the guilt!
