Now that our kids are older I wanted to make them more aware of Thanksgiving and why we should be thankful for what we have going into the Christmas season.  So for the entire month of November as a family we are doing a 30-day give thanks family activity.

This table has been one of my most favorite furniture makeovers to date. I gave this table a whole new look as part of the builder’s challenge furniture flip in Fall 2020. And I love, love, love it. I was given the table by a former coworker for free, it was one she was getting […] Read more…
