Becoming the Wife and Mother I'm Called to Be
With Thanksgiving Day only being four days away, I can’t help but think about desserts.
Thanksgiving Day and the Autumn season have several “staple” desserts. Apple, pumpkin, and pecan pies are popular this time of year.
Once Thanksgiving is over, out come the butter cookies and peppermint cupcakes!
We don’t get a huge amount of vacation time, but I am thankful for the time we do have.
This past August my husband, two of my sisters and I traveled to Kansas City, Missouri. None of us had ever been there before, so we enjoyed the opportunity to explore the city.
We have many places that we would love to someday visit, including
Sweden
New York City
Boston
Australia
I know most women don’t like that their husbands love sports as much as they usually do.
Yes, I’m a girl. Yes, today I am thankful for sports. I don’t play them, but I enjoy watching (most) of them.
I’m thankful to live in a big sports market as well.
I love watching the Blackhawks (hockey,) and even the Bears (football.)
As you can tell my the name of this blog, I am NOT a Chicago Cubs fan. I’m sure my husband and his family will try to convert me for the rest of my life. Well, at least we can watch hockey and football together 😉
My husband, two of my sisters, one of their friends and I actually went downtown for the 2013 Blackhawks celebration parade and rally. I think my alarm was set for 3:00 or 4:00 that morning. We all had a great time! Great memories 🙂
Yes, even our cat is a Chicago Blackhawks fan 😉
