Photos of the Week: November 27th

 I was so focused on Thanksgiving and getting our house decorated for Christmas on Friday that I forgot all about this challenge until late last night.  Not wanting to skip one of these I Spy challenges I decided to cull through my photos of the week and see what I could come up with! 


– festivities-- Getting ready for the festivities this week with a floral centerpiece. 



– food-- We made our favorite chocolate chip pecan pie this week




– free-- Hiking is the best form of free entertainment. 



– fortune-- I pulled together the perfect Thanksgiving outfit without spending a fortune! 



– your choice

      I have! (though the photos are awful and was my whole point in snapping a few this week-- just so I could update it!). https://www.myslicesoflife.com/2017/12/chocolate-chip-pecan-pie-recipe.html

    Hello! I'm visiting from "Inspire Me Mondays". I made a pecan pie for Thanksgiving as well but no chocolate chips. Yours sounds very yummy and I'm sure I'd love it! Perhaps, when you get a chance you'll swing by for some music. Have a boogietastic day.

    I'm always impressed with your photos, and even more so with these, as they were "pulled together." They don't look that way! I love your flowers and the view of your lake is always amazing.

    Super photos---I know it's hard to blog when you are busy with company/holiday---I sometimes forget to take photos---all mine have family in them for the weekend---but that IS what it is all about. Darn that pie looks delicious and lethal...lol. Sandi

      I am the exact opposite! I have zero photos taken with our family in it this weekend. I tend to snap photos before everyone arrives but then just don't think to pick up my camera while everyone is gathered together.

    That pecan pie looks delicious (I've never tasted pecan pie - it's not really an Aussie dish) but I'd be tempted to try yours. And the photo of your deck still brings me a twinge of envy. :)

      It is very sweet but very good. I like the crunch of pecans on just about anything.

Let's Look At.. Our Medicine Cabinet

Image
I join in with the ladies for Let's Look At (the 2nd Wednesday of every month) so sporadically, but this year I am trying to be more intentional about joining in.  This month we're looking at our medicine cabinet.   While we don't have a traditional medicine cabinet I do have one large-ish closet in our master bathroom that I tend to keep pretty much everything in.  I re-organized it back in 2020 when I was on a kick organizing the whole house.   I use these clear bins and then made my own labels.  The top shelf: The bin on the left holds my curling irons and heated styling tools that I rarely use.   The bin on the right holds all our travel items and things The second shelf down: The bin on the left holds all our medicines and the bin on the right (which I didn't bother to photograph) just holds q-tips and cotton balls. We typically keep cough drops, NyQuil capsules, Vicks shower tabs, Motrin, Sudafed, Vicks vapo-rub and a few at home Covid tests on hand.  The next she

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

September's 10 on the 10th!

 Monday's September 10th and it will be time to link up with Marsha for her 10 on the 10th but since we have the Not Just a Mom link up that day I figured I'd post my answers and questions a bit earlier.  Marsha always makes me think long and hard about these!!  1. My favorite 9 letter word is diagnosis -- I can't get into much detail (since it's not me) but we have a family member undergoing lots of testing for some medical issues and I just know that we are all just praying for a diagnosis. Somehow just the knowing what you are dealing with is much less scary than lots of professionals making their best guess and offering to try different treatments that might or might not work.  2. I had to Google songs with September in the title and out of all the hits I got I only recognized one or two of them so I guess I'd have to say my favorite is September by Earth, Wind, & Fire since it's the only one I really know. 3. In our area the most famous celebration
