Thanksgiving Inspiration!

ThanksgivingInspiration
Hi everyone! Sorry this post is up late today, but my daughter and I are both feeling under the weather. :( Thanksgiving is NEXT week and I wanted to share with you some food, clothing and decorating ideas from my blog! 

Also, be sure to stop by Shea Lennon today to see my guest post. :)


Food/Drink Ideas

I made this Cornucopia Blessing Mix for Autumn's Daisy Scout treat one year, but this would also be a delicious trail mix to make up in a bowl for your Thanksgiving get together, for the kids table or to send home with family and friends.

This is hands down the BEST salad ever! I make this anytime someone asks me to bring a salad and I'm always asked for the recipe. It is a Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing and Candied Almonds.

This drink reminds me of an apple cider, but MUCH, much more. This is one of my favorite drinks to make this time of year! Creamy Caramel Hot Apple Cider!

This is a simple twist on regular champagne, surprise your guests after dinner with a homemade Glitzy Strawberry Champagne.

Clothing Ideas

This is what I am planning on wearing for Thanksgiving this year, I shared How to Accessorize a Simple Olive Dress over on the blog earlier this month. This scarf even holds my iPhone 6 Plus with a hidden pocket!

Last year I shared this super comfortable outfit with a flowy leopard blouse, leggings and burgundy leg warmers that pick up some of the burgundy in my scarf.

This oversized knit cardi is a perfect 'blanket' to wear after over-indulging on delicious foods!  I also paired it with some leopard slip ons!

If you're looking for a way to 'dress up' a casual look, add a blazer to it! That's what I did in this Blazer and Coords Love post. The navy and burgundy colors worked well together!

White pants are always perfect in the fall, they go great with olive, burgundy, tans... ok, they go well with everything! I wore my fringe olive top and a gray beret for this casual yet chic look.


Decorating Ideas

I love to craft with tree rounds and this Tree Round Chalkboard Place Setting is perfect for Thanksgiving and just anytime of the year! I also added a bow in neutral colors to the tree slice to glam them up a bit. Tuck in some wheat and feathers with your napkin and it gives it a nice fall vibe!

Last year I made this Neutral Turkey Palette. It was perfect on my new console table this year, which you'll see pictured below.

For Thanksgiving, I like to keep my decor simple. I will have some pumpkins set out here and there and I also love bringing in dried hydrangea blooms from my limelight hydrangea bush that is outside. 

I also have a post where I share some of my Thanksgiving Meal Picks, be sure to check it out!

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
