It’s my favorite holiday.
Turkey seriously is the best food there is.
I’m so deeply thankful for my wonderful family and friends! Thankful also that I get to spend this wonderful time of year with them!
Got through the morning with pretty minimal stress which is something else I am also thankful for!
Now bring on the TURKEY!
Stress is something that seems to follow me wherever I go. I’ve come to sad, pathetic terms with this, especially now the holidays are basically upon us.
I’ve been trying to think of cheap, thoughtful gifts to give during the entire season itself to help soften the blow for Christmas. Having a 14 month old that one spoils to no end, on top of not having a huge surplus of cash can lead one to loving pumpkin bread recipes that make two loafs a wonderful thing. Baked goods seem to be one amazing way for me to combat this feeling of “oh how I hate being poor” feeling. Thankfully too, this large obnoxious vine outside on my deck turns into super pretty (and not that cheap) winter berry. So birds permitting, and perhaps aslo craftyness (sp) permiting I can make something cute and decorative to give.
I hope the rest of the year will be fun, rather than a stressful mess. More than anything I hope I turn out fun and not a mess haha.
It is official. Daniel is a lover of fall! Autumn is truly my absolute favorite season. The weather is beyond perfect, all the beautiful colors, and so many fun holidays are on the way.
Holidays. They should be amazing this year with Daniel! I just can’t wait, so many new things for him to really experience this year versus last year!
