Happy Thanksgiving

It's the day before Thanksgiving. I haven't been out yet, but no doubt the grocery stores are buzzing with busy shoppers and full carts. Homes everywhere are anticipating guests and being scrubbed and polished and decorated. Kids across the country have a half day of school and many will arrive home to the smells of pre-Thanksgiving baking. Cinnamon. Cloves. Pumpkin pie. Apple pie. Ready or not, the Holidays are here. And I say Hooray!

We head out to Plymouth around noon. I'm crossing my fingers the road trip will be swift and that I will find my children especially charming during the entire ride. I have no idea what my internet access will be like, so I'm saying goodbye until Monday. But I've tried to pack in the posts this week so that I won't miss you too terribly.

I do have 2 more things to mention before I sign off. First, as you know, Rochelle has been doing a fantastic job this week as Guest Mom. And I'm bummed to have to cut her week short. Luckily she has tons of great ideas and has promised to come back again in the late winter/early spring, when it's time to make garden plans. Thank you, Rochelle!



And my big finale news:
Be here Monday. To take part in the Design Mom Holiday Giveaway Week. I'm so excited. There will be 4 Giveaways each day. That's 20 Giveaways. You will have 24 hours to enter each one. The winners will be announced the following day.

And these aren't so-so prizes being sponsored. They are awesome. They are generous. You will love the vendors. Some are big name. Some are boutique. But every single one was picked with an eye toward design.

And I'd love it if you would help to spread the word. With 20 Giveaways in one week, it feels like there's something for everybody. My little Christmas gift to you.

Have a great weekend. See you on Monday. Happy Thanksgiving!
