Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving dinner on a TED is interesting indeed!  We changed the ingredients of our turkey brine and I bought an all natural turkey, minimally processed as well as an all natural, uncured ham.  My sides were butternut squash mash and green beans.  I tried a vegan pumpkin "pie" with no crust and made with potato starch and evaporated coconut milk, but something in it upset my son's stomach.  Not sure what exactly, so I stuck with my fake banana bread and coconut milk ice cream after that. ;)

I've been enjoying my early morning nursing sessions with my son, that is when I have a quiet devotion time using the "YouVersion" Bible on my phone.  I did a devotion on Prayer and now I'm doing one on Busyness...this new one is much more attention grabbing because I am good at finding ways to be busy -to a fault.  I want to find a good way to do an Advent celebration with my girls as we prepare for Christmas, not sure if I'll make one up or find one to follow yet.

Homeschooling is  coming along.  I'm discovering patterns in our curriculum and am able to look ahead more often now to add in activities and be more prepared for our learning content.  I still haven't found a homeschool group to join with the kids, but I did try out our church's Mom's Night Out bible study for homeschooling moms.  It was awkward to go because I am such an introvert, but I knew it would be good for me.  I'm glad I went.

Sorry this is short, motherhood calls...have a wonderful rest of your day!
