For the past coupe of years Dawn and No Kid Hungry have teamed up to bring some of the most remarkable people I have ever met together, not to mention they are some of the most awe- inspiring bloggers to the Friendsgiving table. All to bring awareness to a great cause.

I wanted to share some of the photos from our Friendsgiving, this year was a little different as we kept the love going with an adult  slumber party, where we learned so much about each other and shared in some of the most “laugh until our stomach hurt” moments.
