Still need to plan your Thanksgiving menu? If you're looking for inspiration, then check out this fantastic round-up Classic Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes on Taste As You Go!

Because November means the coming of the holiday season and the celebration of Thanksgiving.

So, I allowed myself to slow down a bit today... Since I was busy yesterday, I wanted to spend some focused time with the kids. I got some good snuggle time in with our son and read an entire chapter book with our daughter. I even had some time to chip away at some of the smaller to-dos that have been on my list for a while. 

While I wouldn't say I'm fully recharged, I'm feeling a lot better about being able to handle the busy week ahead. Though, I'd feel better if I were further along with the laundry right now! ðŸ˜‚

While I wait for this cycle to finish, I'm going to share our menu plan. If you're curious to see what's on deck for dinner at our house this week, then keep reading!

PS. I'm hoping to have a new post ready later this week. Since Earth Day is later this month, I want to share some of my family's favorite eco-friendly products. So stay tuned!
