Thanksgiving is almost here and I happen to love this holiday! I love getting together with family and I love to eat! This may be my favorite meal of all time and the fact that we only get to eat it once (maybe twice) a year makes it that much better!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with family, food, and thankfulness! And because I am so thankful for all of YOU, here is a printable for a thanksgiving placemat. You can print on an 11x17 sheet of paper and put at each place setting. If you want you can even go around the table and share your answers---fun right???!!! Here is the link to print and have a Happy Thanksgiving & eat a second helping just for me!

MENU PLAN...TUESDAY ;)
OK so a theme with my blog lately, I'm always a day late! Fine, I admit it, I am routinely late to things in general, which I can't stand. With 3 kids it always seems like something unexpected comes up and no matter how hard I try, I wind up late! I know, excuses excuses right!!! If anyone has some awesome time management tips please share...Lord knows I need them! In the meantime, I will share some yummy recipes with you...this is what's cookin at our house!
MONDAY: We ordered out last night, a local pizza place has $6 brick oven pizzas on Mondays and we love them! You can always make your own pizza! Super easy and the kids love it! Here is a recipe from Emeril for homemade pizzas, a little of this and a little of that and BAM! (sorry I had to) you've got your pizza!
TUESDAY: Tonight is meatloaf night. Super yummy, super easy! Here's a great recipe.
WEDNESDAY: I'm thinking this Chicken Enchilada Pasta sounds like a winner and is budget friendly. This is a new one to try out so I will report back!
THURSDAY: Tonight we are going to my cousins house to eat chili before the trick or treating fun! Here is a yummy chili recipe, throw it together in the crock pot and no rush cooking before you have to head out to go house to house!
FRIDAY: Leftover night! Use that chili from the night before to make chili nachos, 3 Way (my personal choice) or some good 'ol chili dogs!
SATURDAY: We are having family over for my daughter's 2nd birthday and are doing drip beef sandwiches! I love the Pioneer Woman and we are making her recipe...here it is, yum!
SUNDAY: In all honestly we will probably be enjoying some left overs from our dripped beef, but just in case I will leave you with another recipe idea! I found this one on pinterest and it looks so good! It is also a recipe where you can seem really fancy, but it is super simple! Prosciutto and Gruyere-Stuffed Chicken Breast-I told you it sounded fancy! Enjoy!
Let me know what ya think of the recipes above, or if you are making something different, please share! I can always use some new recipe inspiration!!!
XOXO

YOU'VE BEEN BOOED!
I love the month of October and I love all things Halloween! The decor, the costumes, trick or treating, visiting the pumpkin patch and getting "BOOED". The kids get so excited when we get BOOED by a friend or neighbor and even more excited to go and BOO someone else!
Here is a free printable so you can go and BOO this Halloween season too! You can print both here through google docs! Just make sure to be a blog follower and I will email the image to you once requested!
There are so many fun ways you can make your treats to boo your neighbors, we looked on pinterest and found TONS of ideas! Here are a few we found:
Love the marshmallows in these cute ghost bags, you could also add some hot chocolate!
We also visited etsy and found some fun "BOO" things to shop for! This shop offers these cute BOO bags!
These bags are great as well, and would be perfect for school Halloween treats too!
We LOVE S'mores at our house! How fun would it be to find this at your doorstep!
We also adore these "Boo" cookies!
Whether you keep it simple, get creative with some Halloween DIY or shop at one of these awesome etsy shops it is sure to be a good time!!! Get started with a copy of our printable and get ready to BOO!
