Thanksgiving Trivia {a printable for your gathering}

About this time of year, I begin pulling tattered and stained recipes from an old recipe box. I know each Thanksgiving recipe by heart, but my math can get kind of fuzzy, so I double check quantities. My mind can wander, so I double check to make sure I have a list of all the ingredients for the feast. Despite…

Our Thankful Journal

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 November 1st begins one of my favorite annual traditions. Since the Littles were very little (as opposed to their current moderately little status) we have kept the tradition of a Thankful Journal. Each day, the Littles…

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
