Hi Reader!

It's T-minus one week until Thanksgiving! Insert "mind blown" emoji! This year has flown by, but it's been a great year. I hope yours has been amazing too!

I'm very slowly gaining momentum on this little business and I'm hoping by next year, I'll have an even bigger email list and a following of people who enjoy the content I share. If you know anyone who might enjoy my content, feel free to share it!

That being said, I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for following my journey. I know it's a little bit rough around the edges right now, but I promise to be more consistent in the new year and to send you more pertinent and interesting articles in the newsletter in the upcoming months. I truly do appreciate you all!

And Now For the Goodies!

For the adults without young kids, I'm sending you this fun Thanksgiving Bucket List. Print it out and see how many you can do in the following week and on Thanksgiving Day! Be sure to reply and let me know how many you were able to check off your list.

And...

For those of you with littles, let's get the holiday's started now with a letter to Santa. Print it out and let them color it and send their list. Did you know... Your child can put their letter in your mailbox addressed to Santa Clause in the North Pole, without postage and the USPS will mail a letter back to them? Anyway, grab the letter below!

Holiday Simmering Potpourri

I know everyone loves a good candle, and so do I! But you can't keep them burning forever. So the second best thing to keep your home smelling lovely, is a simmering pot of yumminess! Here's the recipe. Try it out and let me know if you enjoyed it!

Recipe:

• 6 cups of water
• 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 sliced orange
• 3-4 cinnamon sticks
• 3 bay leaves
• A handful of fresh cloves or 1 teaspoon of powdered cloves

Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for as long as you want the amazing smell to warm your home!

Have a beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving!
