Hey there friends! I am so glad you are joining us this week! The break last week was nice, but I am excited to start up again this week!
Did you have a good Thanksgiving? We did, being with family and eating yummy food is always a treat! I hope you enjoyed your time of giving thanks as well!
This week I am getting into the Christmas spirit. We don’t have a tree up yet, or any decor really, but hopefully we can remedy that this weekend! I did get some handmade wood burned gifts and gift toppers made. Here is the post.

Welcome friends, to the Embracing Home and Family link-up!

Embracing Home and Family link-up party will go live every Friday at 8:00 a.m (PST), and is a place for you to link-up family-friendly posts related to homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading. Let’s encourage and inspire each other by linking them up on the Embracing Home and Family link-up party!
Meet your lovely hosts!
