Welcome November

We have made it to November welcome to level

lord knows what of Jumanji...lol….

This month is going to be a bit different than most normal

months because it’s the month of Thanksgiving. This particular

post won’t be tagged on a page. First let me start by saying

thank you to everyone that follows the blog, tries stuff that

I blog about and take time to comment or like blog posts.

October had a rocky start for me but I got through it and even

did something I’ve never done before; I did my first 5k. I would

love to start doing one every month and maybe (body willing)

do a 10k sometime!

This month there will only be blog posts from the 2nd through the

15th, I am taking the rest of the month off to do family things for Thanksgiving.

How will I be doing blog posts this month? Well the first week

is going to be dedicated to low carb recipes (I had a request)

the second week will have 2 recipes a day all geared towards

Thanksgiving day ideas for your meal if you want to change

it up a bit. Both weeks will still have savings posts. Instead of

a quote of the day you will see a nature picture from me and

something that I am thankful for. Feel free on that blog

post to comment that day something you are thankful for.

The first week I will have DIY posts but the second week

there will not be any. There won’t be any workout posts or

health tips posts either week. I already have some ideas for

December but we are now just in November so you will just

have to wait and see how December pans out. I hope

everyone has a great month and a happy Thanksgiving.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
