Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a success for our family this past weekend. We had 20 people for dinner on Sunday, with tonnes of food and fun.
The menu included a beautiful antipasti platter (Thanks Fiona)  homemade cranberry sauce, no canned stuff for this crowd! I stuffed the 20lb bird with sausage-apple-pecan stuffing, mashed potatoes (of course) steamed veggies with cheese sauce. Sweet potato casserole (thanks to Eoin and Vanessa and Family). To top everything off homemade vanilla bean ice cream, pumpkin pies, apple crisp. Lots of wine and drinks, great family and lots of fun!
As some of you know I love to do things on the frugal side so I'm proud to say of all the things I made for thanksgiving dinner amounted to approximately 2.50 per person!!! Success!!
I am very Thankful!! Happy Thanksgiving!

New to this!

So, I'm new to this blog thing, but I've been looking for a way to share my crazy life with my family and friends, and perhaps a few others who are interested in the same things. I have an awesome husband and 4 beautiful kids, life is not at all how I would have planned it. The adventure so far has been crazy, exhausting and amazing!

I love to read, craft, cook, and travel. I love dinners and wine with friends, I love chatting in the driveway with the neighbors! So I hope that this will be an awesome way to connect with people to share my ideas and struggles. I also hope to learn others ideas and hear about their struggles.

Family Live is amazing, but I feel like I am always learning and evolving as a mother, spouse, and woman! So lets enjoy this journey together!

Cheers,
