Now that you have eaten the Turkey and Stuffing and all the other goodies that Thanksgiving provides, take off your shoes and kick back and relax.

Last year, we were invited to be part of Design Dazzle's Christmas Wonderful Series and we totally forgot to share this with you. Better late than never right?

 I am a mom to two small kiddos who not only love parties, but love to help in the kitchen whenever they can! Today we are sharing one of their favorite after school snacks!

3) Bring butter and brown sugar to boil in small pan ~ boil for about 3 minutes

About two weeks ago we shared our Thanksgiving "I am Thankful for You" tag on Instagram. If you don't follow us, click on the link to do so. We have received requests for it ever since. So we decided to offer it to all of you ~ our fabulous readers for FREE!! We tied it to a glittery take out box and handed them out to our teachers for Parent/Teacher conferences. 


You can use it as part of your Thanksgiving table decor or hang them on a Thankful tree with everyone's message on the back as to what they are Thankful for or use them as tags, like we did, on the left-over containers. We are super excited to offer these to you as a way to say THANK YOU  to all our reader for following us and being there with all every step of the way on our party adventure. 


Thanks again for all the support and we hope you enjoy these wonderful Thankful tags! They come in both the grey and black. 

xoxo!!
