Note from your Editor, Publisher, Fellow Mom....

Hope y'all have your thankful list! I know sometimes we don't even realize all the daily little things we have that we take for granted. Let's come together this season and pay it forward! Do something for someone just because, do not expect anything in return! It could be something as simple as holding a door for the person behind you who is seemingly taking forever simply because your in a hurry! Smile at a stranger! Pick up a few extra things while grocery shopping and drop it off at the local food pantry on your way home! Instead of throwing aways old towels and blankets drop them off at a shelter! There's so many things that can be done, some very simple, free, some may be a few bucks, whatever you can do! I am a true believer in karma and paying it forward! Try it sometime it actually feels pretty good! :) 

As usual things are crazy here at my house, the holidays are here and in full force! I had to take a break from cooking and baking to get this to you! I so enjoy cooking, baking, however the best part for me is watching and listening to everyone enjoy everything! That for me makes the days of cooking and cleaning worth it! Hope y'all do not do any holiday shopping in the stores on Thanksgiving, as everyone deserves a day off to spend with their family or who they choose. Save the shopping for Small Business Saturday! Buy from your local Mom and Pop shop, your neighbor who has a direct sales company! Do not forget to take a peek at the Holiday Shopping list below, I'm looking for more direct sales moms to take part! Contact me for more details! 

Also take a look at the beautiful dining room set for sale below as well! If you have anything to taking up space  but its still in good shape so you don't want to toss it and it's not really yard sale weather list it here below! I'll add it to the Facebook page as well. Speaking of which if you haven't yet take a swing on over there, like it, share it, there's always so many ideas, tips, tricks, and reminders! 

Is there something you don't see but would like to? Please let me know! If you have or know of an event submit it to me and I'll get it on the calendar and help spread the word! 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL! Be safe if your traveling! Till next week my friends...........
