I don't know about you, but this week has been a doozy for me. From the first cold snap that had me digging out sweatshirts and jackets, to the glowing Northern Lights in the skies around Louisiana, the shutdown and all the other stuff that is happening in our world, I totally feel pulled in about 100 directions.. with 100 different emotions.
As we get ready for Thanksgiving which is already right around the corner, we have a few articles to share with you this week that offer our busy parents some tips in the kitchen as well as a printable for family-fun around the dinner tables. Check out our recommended reads for this week:
