The Turkey with the Terrible Temper

I am not really sure where this story came from, but I loved it as a kid! I just used some templates that I had made to illustrate the story. If you need a quick cute story for Thanksgiving, this is it. You can either print this or if you are in a real time crunch, just put this pdf on your iPad and you are set.

The Giving Tree

Shel Silverstein's story, "The Giving Tree," is a great example of how much you can love others by serving them. To start of this great month of gratitude, I thought it would be fun to read that classic story and to create our own "giving tree." Part of having an attitude of gratitude is serving others, so the purpose of this giving tree is to do one random act of kindness everyday for the month of November. Each day an act of kindness is done, a leaf can go up on the tree. Here's to having beautiful full fall trees by the end of the month, and having full hearts as well. Here is a free printable if you would like to do your own "giving tree."

Here is my family's finished Thankful Tom Turkey. I just put old Mr. Tom on my magnet board and we were set!

I realized in my first post that I didn't really tell you all about myself. My name is Chantel, and I am a 26 year old working mom of one 2 year old daughter and my husband is currently in his last year of law school. We have the most adorable Yorkie, and we definitely consider him part of our little family.

Since my husband has been in law school, I have needed to help provide for our family. This experience has taught me that time is a much sought after commodity as a mother and a wife. Part of the reason I started this blog was to help other busy moms to make crafts  and do activities with their kids that don't take too much preparation time.  My goal is to help other busy moms be able to do cute activities and crafts with their kids that don't take too much preparation time. If I can help moms spend more quality time with their kids, then I feel like my blog has been a success. I hope that you enjoy these printables and tutorials! I have some more fun things in store!

Welcome to Family Home Fun!

I am really excited about starting this blog. This blog is dedicated to helping families make and document their memories. I have some really fun things to post and I also love being able to hear ideas other moms and families. If you have anything that you would like to share via this blog, please email me at familyhomefun@gmail.com.

For my very first post, I am giving you a Thanksgiving freebie! This turkey is a modified 14 day countdown to Thanksgiving. Tom Turkey comes with 14 feathers in order to write one thing that you are thankful for each day until Thanksgiving. All you have to do is print the turkey and feathers on card stock and cut them out. So easy! :) I like to make one for each member of my family and share what we wrote at dinner on Thanksgiving, but you can also just print one for the whole family to share and make the thankfulness a team effort.  Enjoy!
