Creating Traditions… and the BEST Sunday Sauce Ever.
November 7, 2014 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer When my husband and I got married as many families do, we had to decide where and how we would spend all the BIG holidays. As our families live 1-3 hours from where we do - we divided up Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving so we wouldn't ever have to 'fight' about where to spend a holiday and instead focus on being thankful for who we are with and celebrating the holiday.

Felt Fall Banner
October 22, 2014 By

September 18, 2014 By
