Happy weekend, friends!
I think fall has officially arrived here in the Carolinas (although it’s entirely possible 5th summer will show up next week…)
AnnMarie and I have had a wonderful, but also crazy busy kind of week.
It may only be the first week of November, but we’re in full-on holiday mode around here!
Now, don’t think that just because we’re decorating early that it means you need to decorate before Thanksgiving if that’s not your thing!
We always get questions about where we found different things that we use so we want to make sure you’ll still be able to find things when you’re shopping for your home.
That’s why we decorate early and share our ideas early in the season!
You can find some of our favorite ideas (and things) for decorating your Christmas tree here.

One of our favorite places to shop for Christmas is Piper Classics, and they’re currently offering free shipping and all their Christmas decor is on sale!
This weekend, all my kids were home Friday evening so we got to have an unexpected family dinner!
These pork chops and these green beans were a big hit and were so easy to make.
I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for delicious recipes that don’t take a lot of time.
We’re also celebrating AnnMarie’s momiversary this weekend!
Okay.
Technically it’s her oldest son’s birthday.
But if you’re a mom, then you know how your life changed on the day each of your children was born!
So around here we wish all the moms we know a happy momiversary on those days.
Of course, she celebrated with some healthy chocolate for breakfast!
We’re both loving this Cacao Bliss we got from Earth Echo foods.
And guess what?!???
If you use the code MOMS when you order yours you get 15% off your order!
It’s delicious whisked into coffee or black tea, or try using it in this yummy recipe for a healthy snack.

Also, did you know we belong to a book club?
Technically, I actually started our club!
This week we shared 31 books we’ve read for book club so if you’re looking for your next good read, check out our list.

AnnMarie shared all the details for making a simple, rustic centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table.
See?!
It’s not only about Christmas around here!
Also, if you’re still looking for some recipes for Thanksgiving, we’ve got over 70 healthy recipe ideas for everything from the appetizer to dessert!
We found some more inspiration for you from around the web:
