Simply Stated

Happy Weekend Y’all!

We are super excited about getting out of town this weekend for a couple of days with our husbands and another couple.

Nothing like a little trip to the North Carolina mountains to get away from it all and clear our heads in the cool crisp autumn air.

The plan is for the girls to go to Vintage Market Days of Ashville for a little shopping while the guys play golf.

Then we will head out to dinner together and maybe hit up a local brewery or two. Unless we are too tired! LOL

We plan to have lots of fun and enjoy a nice little break before the decorating, shopping, and cooking for the holidays begins!

Can you believe it’s less than 2 weeks until Thanksgiving? Wow…time is just flying by, isn’t it?!

Our holidays may look a bit different this year but we plan to take time to count our blessings.

The Thankful Tree is a simple DIY project that may be the perfect new tradition for your family this Thanksgiving.

And even though there will be tempting yummy food and drinks around during the next few months you can stick to your healthy eating lifestyle with Trim Healthy Mama.

Don’t get us wrong…we will definitely treat ourselves during the holidays but we intend to stay on plan with this amazing Sugar Free Apple Brickle Dip.

It’s seriously soooo good!
