Tuscan Turkey Soup and Gooseberry Patch giveaway

When Gooseberry Patch asked me to review their new cookbook, Hometown Christmas I was excited to check out the delicious recipes inside, especially the baked goods! But after reading through every page I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous recipes I wanted to try that were not just desserts but also Crockpot dishes, soups and stews, and party appetizers. 
So I decided this tasty Tuscan Turkey Soup would be the first recipe I would share with you today. It features ground turkey, beans, orzo pasta, and hearty veggies. Perfect for this time of year! 
Serve with toasted bread for dipping.

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
