May Book Giveaway
***Thank you everyone for entering! This give away is now closed. Hi everyone! This month’s book is Coming Home A Seasonal Guide To Creating Family Traditions by Rosanna Bowles.
From Amazon: Home is where the heart ought to be. But nowadays too many of us are missing the human connection and emotional replenishment that only a rewarding home life can bestow. Designer Rosanna Bowles wants to change that. In Coming Home, she shares a year-round plan for establishing traditions—and, in the process, making memories—that will restore home to its central place in your family’s life.
There are also beautiful photos and recipes!
To enter all you have to do is leave a comment. All are invited to enter – that means all you non-U.S. readers! I’ll announce the winner on Wednesday.

I would LOVE to win this book! I think family traditions are so important in the lives of my children. The cake plate my great grandma always served icebox sugar cookies on...the chipped platter with a rose design from grandma elsie...the elephant cookie jar from grandma harriet...the candy dish grandpa always gave us butterscotch candy out of and he pulled us with his cane by the neck to come closer to his chair.
Family, memories & traditions are what it's all about. Such fond times I remember as a child.
Natalie
