Photo Source: Stylabl via Pinterest October is gone and November is upon us. In fact, we are already a week into this month. The weather is about to turn a little bit colder. All of the colorful leaves have fallen off the trees. And if we’re lucky, the sun will come out for a few hours a day and remind us that Winter is just another season that we have to endure until Spring and Summer return! But until then, we have two major holidays to face head-on… Thanksgiving and Christmas. First things first… Cleverly Inspired has compiled a list of […]
Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is next week, and thousands of people are preparing to either travel to visit family and/or friends, vacation in warmer destinations, or cook the Thanksgiving meal. I, myself, fall into the last category because last year, my husband and I spent Thanksgiving in Las Vegas! Like so many, I will be preparing the entire meal for the first time. Of course, my husband will help with the ham. No, we’re not having the traditional turkey for Thanksgiving. I may go to the store and purchase a small amount of turkey, but the main meat will be ham. Side dishes […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Photo Source: allposters.com / Pinterest I hope everyone will be enjoying time with family and friends this thankful holiday!

My babies – Dakota, Daisy, and Doc (and yes, they are all dogs), who bring such joy to my life. 3. My family, who supports me in everything I do. 4. My job and my co-workers, who are all freakin’ fabulous! […]
A Thanksgiving Prayer For My Family and Friends…
There was a time when I was more “religious” than I am today; however, that does not change the fact that I am still a Christian. In honor of Thanksgiving and in light of the recent events in my life (with the passing of my 88-year-old grandpa from colon cancer), I have decided to send up a prayer for my family and friends. Dear Lord, I come before you today with a heavy, and somewhat broken, heart. Heavy because of the anxiety and fears I keep bundled up inside, and broken-hearted because right now, I am missing both of my […]
My Week in Pins – Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a day to give THANKS and this holiday season, I have a lot for which to be thankful! But that’s another post for another day, so I’ll just share with you my week in pins, which this week is all about Thanksgiving! [Sorry this post is a day late, but better late than never!] All photos come from Pinterest, but I have named the original source if one was listed. Who doesn’t enjoy the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special every year, am I right? And I love the family dynamics in the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting. I always think that […]
