I’m over on Every Day Cheer today sharing some simple acts of kindness that you can do with your kids this season.

Todd and I are just having a few relaxing days in New York celebrating my birthday. If you want to see what we’re up to, I’d love it if you followed along on Instagram while we’re there. I will do a full recap post of the trip when we get home.

And you can still enter my birthday giveaway I posted yesterday!

Today, my friend Shay is hosting me over on her foodie blog for her Mix and Match Double Batch series. Go check it out to see which of my recipes she mixed up. You’re going to love it! I love this series and seeing Shay’s creativity at work.

Happy Veteran’s Day, friends! I hope you will head over to Every Day Cheer today to read an inspiring interview from one of my favorite friends and a true veteran, Amy Lou Hawthorne. Her courage, beauty and sweet spirit will encourage you today.
