A few months ago we emptied our big container of black pepper. I held on to the empty container because I knew someday I would think of something to do with it. Then one night I was trying to make dinner. Husband was still at work and Little Brother was demanding attention. I did a quick scan of my cupboards to see what I could find to entertain him while I finished dinner. ...
Okay, I'll admit these aren't real turkey feathers, but since Thanksgiving is right around the corner it seemed like the perfect opportunity to pull out the feathers. I've had these feathers forever.

I poured a bunch of poms poms of different sizes and different colors in the middle and told Sweet Girl to sort them any way she wanted. It took a little practice for her to be able to pick them up with the tongs, but she was pretty ...
I am the mother of two amazing kids and I am married to an incredibly sweet and smokin' hot guy. I taught elementary school and preschool before leaving to become a stay at home mom. Now I'm embarking on the adventure of a lifetime and learning how to be a mom.
