Right now on Facebook there are a couple of quizzes that have gone viral (at least amongst my Facebook people). It’s reminding me a bit of my first Facebook days where people took quizzes on an hourly basis. The popular ones today are the Which Star Wars Character are You? quiz (I’m Queen Amidala)(My husband…

It’s time to take the Halloween decorations down and start putting up Thanksgiving decor. I liked the idea of decorating with printables in frames so much for Halloween, that I decided to make some for Thanksgiving, too.
