After a mostly relaxing, but not very productive weekend retreat, I have decided to take the week off of blogging. This will be my only post this week. There won’t be a Weekly Wrap-Up on Friday, but we’ll pick back up next week.
I’ve gathered up some of my favorite Thanksgiving posts from WUHS and around the Internet to share with you. I’ve got everything from Thanksgiving crafts to recipes to tips for schooling through the holidays (or not feeling guilty if you don’t). Click the titles to visit the links.
Enjoy!
