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.

At first, the project seemed overwhelming—after all, it’s a big commitment! But this year, I decided to give it a try, focusing on the school year instead of a full calendar year.
