New on the Blog: How to Plan a Make-Ahead Thanksgiving Dinner Last week, I typed this weekly email on our front porch, wearing short sleeves, and enjoying the sunshine and 70º temps.

James lost his other front tooth this week -- when I looked back at pictures, I saw that Simon lost both of his front teeth last November!

Enjoy your week... and let me know if you try my make-ahead Thanksgiving dinner ideas for your holiday meal! ~ Andrea p.s. 9 years ago, we sent out a Thanksgiving card announcing that Simon was a boy -- who remembers this card? It feels like forever ago! |
