happy thanksgiving 11.22.2012

Wow! What can we say? We are so truly grateful. From the silly things that make our day (coffee) to the reasons we get teary-eyed from sheer joy, we are fortunate beyond measure. Not a day passes that we don’t thank our lucky stars. We have loving family and friends backing us up and we’re overwhelmed by the support of so many people. We include all of you who read our blog, check out our shop and follow our adventures in the blessings we count. Thank you! We wish you a day full of whatever makes you happy. Now, let’s eat! Cheers!

On my mind: Thanksgiving Dinner 11.21.2012

I can’t even express my love for Thanksgiving properly! I freaking love it. I love the cooking, the family time, football in the yard, and like every holiday now, it is just so much sweeter when I get to see it through a toddler’s eyes. Here are a few picks for what I’d like to wear and have on the table! Cheers!

1. Weft Saturation Jacket 2. Happily Grateful Quotation Book, 3. Copenhagen Coaster Set, 4. Gaffer Decanter Set, 5. Terrain Bakeware, 6. Ingot Ring, 7. Orange Asterisk Stacking Dish, 8. Dina Suede Pumps

on my mind: thanksgiving dinner 11.20.2012

Thanksgiving is just days away and I’m getting so excited to spend some time with family, some that I see often, and some traveling from afar to be here! I’ve been menu-planning with my mom and mother-in-law, scheduling the day (not always easy with a toddler and nap times), and basically just dreaming of getting to sit down at the Thanksgiving dinner table (times two in our case). If I could dream up my perfect holiday attire and table decor, here you have it! – Morgan
