Cupcakes, Dogs, and Kicking Myself

It’s Saturday morning as I type up this post and I’m currently listening to Christmas music and eating chocolate pancakes. It feels like a good time to blog 😬

The cupcakes that I mentioned in this post went well! My friend’s baby shower was woodland-themed, so I took that and ran with it for the cupcakes.

Thanksgiving Books for Toddlers

November is here, and you know what that means: Thanksgiving! What a fun, happy, and (relatively) low stress holiday! No one is really expected to buy or give gifts, you get to eat a wonderful meal, and hopefully spend time with family. Can’t beat that.

I am such a lover of seasonal books, so I thought it would be fun to share six Thanksgiving books that we personally own, read, and enjoy. Some are focused on the actual holiday, while others center around the theme of being thankful. No matter what, they are all cute, fun reads to teach toddlers about Thanksgiving and being thankful!
