Kitchen:

our favorite room in the house (maybe because we spend so much time in it...)
Kelly started a "tour of homes." Up first: Kitchens.


Some of my favorite things- Grandma's butter churn:
Most of my recipes are printed off the computer from emails or jotted down on sticky notes. I hide them in the box on the bottom shelf until I have time to transfer them to the recipe cards. I only use one cook book and it's one our family made. That's why I'm putting together another family/friends cookbook because those are the only other recipes I use!
Another favorite- sink that hides a ton of dishes:
Everyone asks us if we use our breakfast room much. YES.
This is where we always eat unless we have people over then we eat in our actual dining room.
And of course I had to add my pantry. It is the hub of our house. And thanks to the chalk board paint on the back of the door, it's also a popular spot for the kidlins when they come over.
I love it so much I'm writing a book about it.... stay tuned.

And Kelly is right. We all have so much to be thankful for. I'll post more on Compassion later. But until then, check it out.
