November: Life Lately

Oh, hey, November! There’s definitely still a week left in November buuuut I really want to wrap up this month and move on to December – While I love Thanksgiving but I have to admit, my Christmas tree is up and I guess I’m one step ahead of the game this year likely because I know there’s a little baby that will be arriving in my quickly nearing future. I’m just about in full-on nesting mode but I also know the holidays will keep me very, very busy! I also wanted to share my monthly “Life Lately” post today because I have some really fun posts coming up in the next week, one of them being a round-up of all Black Friday sales you could ever want to know about locally!
