Happy Thanksgiving + A Baby on the Way!

My family is in the habit of making big announcements at the dinner table- like the time my sister and her husband announced she was pregnant (I immediately fell out of my chair, onto the floor and started crying while my mom, just kept saying "No you're not, No you're not." She thought she was being pranked).  Or the time I announced I was quitting my job and moving to Africa. So I can just imagine the scene that would ensue if I announced my water had broken at the Thanksgiving dinner table- because it looks like that's where this train is headed. There's a good chance I'm going to go into labor today and/or tomorrow! 

Although we can't be with our family in the States celebrating the coziest day of the year, we have our own reasons to celebrate over here. Here's what I'm thankful for this year.


I'm thankful for:
1. My family and friends who are rooting for me and this baby
2. A husband that loves me even when I'm not very nice
3. Christmas with a new born babe
4. Wearing normal clothes again! (so closeeeee)
5. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
6. Meeting our new baby boy

November's Cake

 This month I enlisted the help of my friend (and extraordinary baker) Kirsty, of Tilly's Ice Cream. I figured since this baby is due any day now (today is my actual due date) I could use some help. And since Kirsty makes THE BEST ice cream in all of South Africa we thought it would be fun to make an ice cream cake. Home made coffee ice cream, smashed in between layers of meringue and topped with cocoa, organic chocolate shavings and blackberries!

Thanks so much Kirsty! If you live in Cape Town, be sure to check out her site here and order some ice cream, you can also purchase it at Field Office!

Admittedly I'm not much of a camper, (I'm attached to my down comforter and indoor plumbing) but these beauties are making a good case for the great outdoors.

Do yourself a favor and check out "The Horse" shoe collection- it is ca-ute! They have a guys and girls range and I almost can't decide which I love more. Go here to see their shoes and keep checking back for a December shoe giveaway! What- yes!
