Hello November!


Autumn is officially here, and I couldn't be happier! The weather in Oklahoma has finally cooled off, making it the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors.

Last week, we took a trip to the Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch in Arcadia—a family tradition we look forward to every year. This place has everything you could want in a fall outing: tons of pumpkins, adorable farm animals, hayrides, a corn maze, and a gift shop full of delicious treats. We loaded up a whole wagon of pumpkins this year, and it’s been a blast decorating our home with the different colors and shapes.

November is all about gratitude, family, and friends. I absolutely love this season; it’s such a wonderful time to pause and reflect on all we have to be thankful for.

To help foster gratitude this Thanksgiving season, I've put together a couple of printables to make it easy to keep track of your blessings. These adorable designs can be used to create a banner, a bulletin board, or even a gratitude apple tree. You can find the printable here—perfect for bringing a little extra joy and thankfulness into your home this month.

Setting aside a few minutes each day to reflect on and appreciate life’s little blessings is a rewarding habit. These thoughtfully designed pages make it easy to capture your thoughts and express thankfulness. Simple yet impactful, they’re available here for you to enjoy.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and have many many days to show thanks to the Lord for all he has given this year.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

I’d love to hear what you're grateful for this year! Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Here we go! Are you ready for the holiday shopping extravaganza? I'm never truly really ready for the shopping side of the holidays. It's not my favorite part, but I've found that having a handy list can make a world of difference. With a simple guide to keep track of ideas, my shopping it a little more organized and also more enjoyable.  As a little holiday gift to you, I'm sharing this list for FREE! It's perfect for all ages and has places to jot down everyone's favorites, like their go-to store, favorite snack, color, characters and candy. There is even a section for wants, needs and preferred reads.  Hand out a copy to each person you're shopping for, and you'll have a cheerful, organized guide to help you find gifts they will enjoy. Happy Shopping and Merry Christmas!  🎁 Isaiah 9:6  “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlast...

Beaver Moon: Full Moon in November

Did you know that each full moon of the year has its own unique name? I have to admit, I didn't realize this myself until I started homeschooling my boys. I always knew about the full moons, but I had no idea that each month's moon has its own special name and meaning.  When is the full moon? The full moon will be big and bright in the sky on Friday, November 15, 2024. This year we are in for a special treat because it's our last Supermoon for the year! The Beaver Moon This month's full moon is called the Beaver Moon. The name comes from this time of year when beavers are busy preparing for winter by gathering food and building a cozy shelter to keep warm. Beavers make sure they have everything they need to get through the season, just like us chopping wood and making delicious soup in preparation for the cold weather.  Next Full Moon Next month's moon will be the Cold Moon on Saturday, December 14.  It's exciting to learn the names and what meaning they have.
