Being the mother of 9 children, I have to make sure that I save as much money as possible.  I do this by using coupons as well as shopping the big sales.  Thankfully, our Walmart will honor the Buy One Get One Free (BOGO) of it's competitors.  Last night, I saved over $75 using the BOGO add from Publix at Walmart.  (I scored 2-liter Pepsi for only$0.50 a piece--no coupon needed!)  I am no getting my list together to go back to Walmart and get the rest of the items needed for our Thanksgiving feast.

We will have a Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow that will be cooked outside over the fire in my Lodge Camp Ovens.  I will be cooking a Turkey roast in the camp oven on the bottom and will cook my dressing in the small camp  oven that will be placed on top.  I will get some fresh corn on the cob and wrap it in aluminum foil real good and throw that into the coals to cook as well.  This isn't our main Thanksgiving dinner, but this is what we will do with the 7 children that are still left at home.  Our big Thanksgiving dinner will be on  Sunday afternoon after church.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

As the Thanksgiving Holiday is getting closer and closer upon us,  I also have to start getting the bus ready for our Thanksgiving trip.  Normally, we are in the bus almost every weekend due to the fact that the girls sing Bluegrass Gospel.  The bus is rather large, but when you realize how many people are on the bus; it can start to seem very small in a hurry.  Here are a few photos of the bus as well as the girls on stage at Buckner's Music Hall in Atlanta, Georgia.

Here is a photo of my family. This also has my 2 son-in-laws as well as my grandson.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and The Money Family is busy getting everything ready.  I know that Thanksgiving Day is actually on Thursday, but we always celebrate ours on the Sunday after Thanksgiving Day.  We do this so that the married children will be able to spend time with the in-laws without having to try and make it to both houses.  Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of enjoyment and fun with the family; not stress.

So, as we think about what food we will be preparing for Thanksgiving, I decided to show you my beautiful table that we will be eating Thanksgiving dinner around.  This beautiful table will seat 16 people.  (We still don't have enough room, but we have to make do.)
