As we approach another Thanksgiving, I'm always excited and delighted because it is simply my most favorite holiday! I'm soooooo thankful for my supportive family, especially my daughter who just celebrated her 12th birthday. I'm thankful for my girlfriends who are like sisters-from-another-mother to this only child. I'm thankful for a successful and thriving wedding & event planning business. I'm thankful for my health and strength, plus those good days that keep me smiling and those bad days that keep me learning. And I'm so very thankful for all my social media friends who follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr and who read this blog. I toast to you and your families via the recipe below:
