As I write this, I’m not sure the view around the farm could be any prettier. Vibrant yellows, fiery oranges and reds, burnt browns, and perfect purples litter my view. By the time this post goes live, there is a good chance all that color will be on the ground. For everything there is a season and I am making sure to savor the color and beauty around me, even if it’s just for a moment longer. Here is What I’m Loving in November.
What I’m Loving in November
Change of scenery
I already mentioned it, but this time of year is pure magic. The changing of the seasons is something I look forward to each and every year. Walks around the farm may be colder, but they sure are beautiful.
Celebrating
We party in November. Our two bigs’ had birthdays this month along with my mom and father-in-law. It’s a month long birthday celebration and it’s one of my favorite things. I love celebrating my people and November is all about just that.
Cozy sweats
I found the coziest sweats at T.J. Maxx back in September and have been living in them. (I’m sorry, I couldn’t find them online.) They are so cozy that I have been breaking all the rules and wearing them out of the house on errands around town, to playdates, even to my once a month Cooking Club. I would argue they don’t look like pajamas, but they kind of do.
Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup
There is no better soup than this one. Creamy, savory, and with goat cheese spooned in, it’s a little piece of heaven on earth. My kids aren’t big fans, but Kevin and I let it go because that leaves more for us. I serve it with homemade bread and on cold nights it’s simply the best thing I can eat.
Preparing for Christmas
I am a big fan of Thanksgiving and we don’t skip it at our house. We have so much to be grateful for. So much. However, I have been planning and preparing for Christmas this month in a big way and I love it. I am planning our calendar, purchasing gifts (are you doing the Christmas Gift Challenge?), and mapping out all the little things we will do during the month of December. We are living our best fall lives right now, but will be ready when the calendar turns to December.
