From Thanksgiving morning


It was pretty with the snow outside and the warm and juicy smells of Turkey cooking on Thanksgiving morning!
(Just unloaded these pics)


I am also consciously trying to create memories with smells of the holidays.  I know that sounds funny, but research has shown that people do associate smells with  memories and particular time periods.  So I do a lot of baking because I enjoy it; but also because I want my children to have happy holiday memories even after I'm gone when they catch a whiff of cinnamon and apples, or the spice of Pumpkin and ginger.  There's so much about our lives that I've had zero control over in the past few years, this is one small thing I can do for my children.
