I love Thanksgiving. Like LOVE love it. It might just be one of my favorite holidays! The reminder to be grateful for all the things in our lives. The time spent laughing and cooking with family and friends. My son home from college for a long break. That Thanksgiving morning Bloody Mary while the parade plays in the background. And all the foods that are just a little extra. This Cranberry Apple Crumble has been a staple at my family’s Thanksgiving table for over 40 years! I made a few adjustments to make it work with @trimhealthymama as a healthy carb E dish a few years ago. It’s sugar-free and gluten-free. And it’s my favorite side dish of the meal. And since everyone else loves it too, I usually make a double batch so I can be sure to have some left over. 😎 Because let’s face it, the leftovers are another one of my favs about Thanksgiving! I’ll be sharing the recipe over in stories! Who knows? Maybe it will become one of your family’s favorites too!

What’s the one dish (besides turkey and mashed potatoes!) that HAS to be on your Thanksgiving table each year? -A

Today is my momiversary! 🎉I’m pretty sure Anne made that word up. But the first time she wished me a Happy Momiversary it just clicked! It was perfect! ❤️ Because not only is it our kids birthday but it’s a celebration of us parents too! And this boy here made me a mom 22 years ago today!
.
I know...I know some of you may see a man I mean he is 22 but I see a my little boy...especially with his recent buzz haircut...hello flashback to 8 year old Jake.😉 Check out our stories to see him through the years.
.
I’m grateful everyday that I get to be his mom. And the world is a little brighter with this shining star. Happy Birthday Jakob Riley! ❤️ -AM

Halloween is over...November is here...and it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas on the gram. But not us...we’re still over here sharing our fall decor!🤷🏻‍♀️ But in our defense it IS still fall and it kinda just started to actually “feel” like fall around here.
.
So while I sit around debating if I’m going to break tradition and pull out my Christmas bins before Thanksgiving I thought I’d share a fall video. Because ya know they’re fun to watch. Am I right!? Bet you can’t guess how many times I knocked that little “Hello Fall” sign over while trying to put this together?
.
Do you have a tiered tray? I think they are the perfect way to add a bit of seasonal decor to any space. And this fall tiered tray can take me right through Thanksgiving. Unless of course I decide to bring in Christmas. Indecisive much?? 😂 -AM

Hello November! After a soggy Halloween last week we had a gorgeous fall weekend here in North Carolina. How was the weather by you? We are still feeling all the fall vibes around here. The leaves outside are just starting to turn colors and inside my house smells sooo good with my favorite hot apple cider soy candle from @dandelionwishescandleco
.
From these awesome amber jars to mason jars to galvanized tins to wood dough bowls...they have something for everyone. And don’t even get me started on the amazing variety of scents! Anne and I had a hard time choosing which scents we each wanted from the candles they sent us. But we played nice and divided them up evenly! 😉
.
We know you are going to love these 100% soy candles as much as we do! 🥰 Use the code S2M20 to get a 20% discount on your order. What scent will you get first? Sweater Weather? Banana Nut Bread? Or their new scent of the month Jolly? Tag us and let us know which one you got! 🍁🧡 -AM

As moms of high school and collage age kids this quote hit home for us! It was posted last night on @grownandflown
.
“Teenagers are NOT too old to Trick or Treat. Let them have fun while they still can, because we all know how truly SCARY adulting is”.
.
So don’t be annoyed when that 6ft tall boy with a football jersey on rings your doorbell tonight. He may not have planned it but then decided at the last minute that he wanted to go out and have a bit of fun with friends on Halloween. You never know it could be his last time trick or treating. There’s a last time for everything. Be kind!
.
Happy Halloween! 🎃 -AM

Spooky season is nearly done! I’m feeling a little guilty over here because I’ve done nada, zero, nil, zilch to make my house look spooky for the trick or treaters this year. 😬 And at this point? It’s not happening. 🤣 It makes me a little sad because we used to be “that house” in our neighborhood. Swipe to see some pics from when our kids were young. But this month just got away from me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe next year? And anyway, at this point, I’m ready to start decorating for Christmas!! Who’s with me?! How about you? Did you decorate outside for Halloween? Or just for fall? Or not at all?! Tell us about it in the comments! -A
