Thanksgiving Outfit Option

I can't believe Thanksgiving is the week already.  I know I'm not the only one to say that, but seriously, where does time go?  We actually will be having 3 Thanksgiving meals this year: Thursday with my in-laws, Friday Friendsgiving, and Saturday with my family.  That is a lot of eating, and inevitably a lot of left overs. So we'll be stocked until Christmas with food.  We are very blessed that we can be such gluttons every year.  (I do find irony that American's celebrate their Thankfulness for what they have with a day of excessiveness, but that's for another post, or blog entirely.) ;)

Yes, ladies, it's here for several more months, so we might as well make the most of it: football season. (I actually don't mind it, but we don't have a current home team, so I'm not really in to it right now.)  But I'm always down for some fun recipe ideas:

[Holiday Shopping - Gift Ideas - Sales]

Holiday shopping sales have begun.  Which means you need to not procrastinate (like me) and start thinking about what you're going to give people next month (if you are actually going to give things. :) )  A tradition we have that I grew up with, and my husband's family did too, and now we're carrying on with our family, is to get a new pair of pajamas on Christmas eve to wear for Christmas morning.

Holiday Party Style v.1

My life is so glamorous right now.  This is evidenced by the fact that the new word my son has learned this week is "boogers."  (Are you picking up on the fact that first sentence was sarcasm?;) ) Yeah, we've got a serious cold going on in the body of a little person who doesn't know how to blow his nose yet (or even how to blow when you tell him to) and a steady flow of snot running down his face.  Which is a vicious cycle, because the snot flow upsets him so he cries about it ("Mommy! Boogers!", pointing to his nose), and the crying causes more snot.  Not to mention the use of the bulb sucker that suctions the snot out but upsets him so much I think twice as much is created in its place.  Like I said, life is glamorous right now.

Battington Lashes + IG Giveaway!

The holidays are approaching, and that probably means increased social engagements for most of us.  I always like getting dressed up for the holidays - holiday parties always seem to me a bit dressier than the rest of the year (why is that?) and it's fun to put on the those statement outfits I really don't have occasion to wear the rest of the year.

Another way to make a statement with your look is to play up your facial features, particularly your eyes.
