November!

It's N.O.V.E.M.B.E.R...My twins turned 6 today. Thanksgiving is 25 days away, and Christmas is just 53 days away...Yikes! Halloween is gone...time to pack up the ghosts and goblins and bust out the turkeys. Crazy how fast the holiday season sneaks in during this phase of life. Remember to slow down and enjoy the small moments...those are the ones that really matter.

Blessings,
