I became a single mom at the age of 24. 5 years later, I watched as my house grew from 2 to 4. Now a blogger & creator of Mommy Dig, and as a Thriving mom, I share my duties and mishaps as C.E.O. of 3 children and one crazy cat. Everyday is an adventure. I may lose my mind, but I'm loving every minute of it!!

Thanksgiving

The holidays always seem so busy. You go from one house to another only to stuff your face until you can't even grasp the thought of food anymore, you rest for 30 minutes before you're filling your plate again. When you aren't trying to figure out which house you're going to next, there's always football. And if your house is anything like mine, the t.v. literally stays on the sports channel until the game ends the Monday night following Thanksgiving!!Try getting homework done through all of that!
This year, we switched things up a little bit and decided to spend Thanksgiving Day with grandparents in Greenbrier, AR. Steven's Aunts came in from Alabama and Louisiana, along with their families. His Uncle David was also home this holiday season, after recently returning from military duty in the Middle East. We are so proud and blessed to have him in our family...and very thankful that he made it home unharmed! We spent the day visiting, eating, watching football, and entertaining kids. All in all, we had a good time...and as usual, we ate too much!
On Friday, we got up to do it all over again. This time we went to Stuttgart (AR) to visit family. We had to cut the  trip a little short because Katie was scheduled to go to her Dad's house...and Aeris got an extra-long vacation when she got to stay with her "Granny & Poppa"!!
And if you missed the news a post or two back, over Thanksgiving weekend, Katie welcomed her 3rd little sister into the world. Her Dad and step-mother delivered their second baby girl, Sophia Rose, who is reported to be healthy and happy! Congrats to them and Katie!!
Ok...so here are a few pics from Thanksgiving:
