Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

I'm on the end of the turkey coma after a feisty lunch that included a turkey (of course), mashed potatoes, white rice, corn and buttermilk biscuits as you can see.

What did you have/are you having? I'd love to know.

My lunch was completed by gravy

and followed by left overs of chocolate cake, persimmon cookies with pecans and a fresh batch of persimmon bread

The kids were really excited about Turkey day and they helped me clean up after lunch and we started decorating the house for Christmas.

But that, I will leave it for another post :)

What's for dinner tonight?

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This year we decided to change things up a little and have a Thanksgiving dinner instead of a lunch.

So, I spent the morning in the kitchen with my baby Michelle that helped me out to cook all sort of things.

While the turkey was baking we made chocolate chips cookies, stuffing, rolls and a beans salad.

At last, the turkey was ready:

Believe it or not, Gabriel ate obscene amounts of turkey, at least 3 serving ans his plate was full all the time! Warmed my heart and made me so happy since he's so picky and barely eats any meat.
I also made a pie, but Michelle devoured it before I could snap a picture.
For this, I'm very thankful!

What did you had?

Thanksgiving time at my home!

And we are decorating, cooking and eating.
Above you can see the artworks of my kids: Gabriel's stuff in on the left and Michelle's is on the right.

Michelle enjoyed so much doing turkeys that her teacher let her made a T-shift and a center piece.

Gabriel said it will help me to eat the turkey eheheh.

Hope you enjoy my kids artworks. I think it's amazing that they are so small and so talented, but I'm buyest since I'm their mom.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

What are you grateful for?

Today is Thanksgiving day in US and like all the Americans out there, I'm counting my blessings. Of course, life it's not easy or perfect, but I do have many things to be grateful for and I want to share with all of you!

1- I'm grateful with my heart that spills all over me for my son: many of you know that he's struggling with autism and we're struggling with him to find the right therapy that works best. Few weeks ago while I was thinking about decisions to make in his behalf, so out of the blue like only autistic people know how to do, he came up to me and said: "It's gonna be all right, mommy, you're my hero!"
I'm so grateful 'cause in the last year he made giant progress: last year we spent Thanksgiving night in a ER room 'cause Gabriel busted his front teeth for not being careful. This year he was telling me all about Turkey Day, helping me around the kitchen and play and talk....I'm grateful of how far he has come :)

2- I'm grateful that I found a true friend, Michele. I know, I name her often, but she's really dear to my heart. I'm grateful that she made it through a big health problem to coma back stronger, I'm grateful for every single word she writes me and just to be a part of her life.

3- I'm grateful for all my customers and friends that supported my in my business journey for the past year...I will be nobody without you all!

But now enough about me....what are you grateful for? I really want to know!
