The weather started to turn to that Fall feel as soon as Labor Day hit here in New England. (You know, when the undertones of the air are suddenly chilly instead of just hot and humid? If you're from a different part of the country, do you have this too? I absolutely love having four different seasons!)I waited a couple of weeks to buy our annual porch mums and take out my porch decor, but now I'm looking at Amazon to find some smaller things for the inside of the house. Normally I get sick …

Easy Thanksgiving Table Idea
One of the best days of the year is almost here, so today I'm sharing an idea for an easy Thanksgiving table!Shop the post:With so many families having a smaller Thanksgiving this year, this easy table is perfect for a smaller group.
