This post is brought to you by the makers of Ball® home canning products.* I don’t know about you but Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! I love the family time, the gathering together, the food, of course, and devoting a whole day to being grateful and thankful for everything we have in our lives. The last 18 months have strengthened even further how much I have to be grateful for. If you are newer around here both myself and one of my daughters went through COVID early in the pandemic and it was rough. There were truly times where I wasn’t sure I would make it and my whole outlook has changed since that time. I approached Thanksgiving...
Turkey makes you sleepy is the refrain we’ve all heard, over and over. But does it really? How can one gorgeously burnished bird be what makes us all want to drift off as soon as the table is cleared? Like everything else, there’s more to it than that. You know the story. Thanksgiving dinner is over. You’ve plowed your way through delicious piles of turkey, gravy, potatoes, Big Aunt Trudy’s sweet potato casserole, dressing, wine, and maybe a few green beans for virtue. Now you’re trying to drag your overstuffed self into the living room before your brother-in-law gets the biggest spot on the sectional.

My Latest Snag: Holiday Accoutrements. This week was about panic ordering things I’d forgotten to order, including gift wrap (detailed all of that at the bottom of this post) and velvet bows (to tie napkins) for our Thanksgiving table — I ordered mine from this small Etsy vendor in a dusty salmon color but she appears to have sold out. These are similar, and I’ve heard Mrs. Alice has lightening fast shipping in case you’re in a similar boat. I also realized I didn’t have enough taper candles (!!) and ordered this set in the nick of time in the most gorgeous olive green, which is a near-perfect pair with our garland (just arrived and looks beautiful!). Looking ahead, I’m...
A few weeks ago, I was browsing the Old Navy website when I decided to take a look at the loungewear category of their site—and I was immediately blown away by how many cute, chic, and insanely comfortable-looking options there were. The rib-knits, soft bralettes, trending colors, and stylish silhouettes reminded me of high-end brands that are popping up all over my Instagram feed these days.
