The best game to play with kids...here's to the weekend
Plus cozy recipe ideas and a really good book recommendation
Hi Friends,
I had forgotten we had this game until Ben found it and asked if we could play. We had SO MUCH FUN and every time we’ve played in the past was an absolute blast too!! Cannot recommend a Jenga set enough. Maybe for Christmas a bigger set?
Wooden colorful set (amazon)
Bigger set with crate (etsy)

Personal stories
Top row: Frankies dream of a hot pink drink were fulfilled (vanilla frappachino with mango dragon fruit in it), she played princess, and Sam loves taking off his socks and shoes anytime he’s in the stroller or in the car lol.
Bottom row: It was Nicks families Serbian patron saint day (called a Slava) and after church we took Ben to the Milwaukee Public Market. Then I made Serbian cookies called Vanilice (raspberry sandwich cookies, they’re SO incredibly good).

Weekend reads
Oh how I loved this romance book, it was super cute and the characters had great chemistry - Mrs. Nash’s Ashes- “A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.”
Reader comment
Your 5-Ingredient Cinnamon Spice Roasted Carrots are a family favorite, and a must for Thanksgiving. I always make extra because the kids wonder in the kitchen and eat them off the baking sheet.
