Easy Thanksgiving Table Idea

November 15, 2020

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. I decided to use the huge roll of Kraft paper I already own. Writing each person's name creates an update on the traditional place card. (It is inevitable that someone will spill cranberry sauce on the white tablecloth anyway, so why not make the table …

Advent Calendars for Everyone

Advent Calendars for Everyone

The Best Black Friday 2019 Sales – Updated!

It was just a few years ago that the Black Friday sales weren't released until Thanksgiving Day, and we'd grab the newspaper and dig through the deals to see what we'd head out to find. HA! That has all changed so, so much. Now I do 90% of my shopping online, and the Black Friday deals have all started already. I don't usually say you NEED to buy something - you don't. But if you're shopping, I'm hopeful that my rounding up these deals for you will make your shopping that much easier. If you …

What’s on My Wish List

I always love seeing what other bloggers have on their own wish lists, so I thought I would share mine!
