Here we are for my November Sentence a Day! November moved quickly, full of everyday routines, family moments, and a few things that asked for extra attention. Just the kind of month that reminds you how much can fit into ordinary days. My template: -Thankful for: -Sum up today in 1 sentence/Or one memorable thing from today: Number of Steps: Saturday/11.1.2025 -Time with my LA girl…do I say that a lot? -It was a day of raking and resting due to a non-starting lawnmower.

These weeks in November carried both joy and challenge, with family moments and travel woven through days that reminded me how even hard times can bring people closer together.

Thanksgiving was a pretty chill day until later. It was just Rob and me at home doing stuff around the house, watching the parade and the dog show. I even got a nap in before my in-laws showed up around 2 or 3pm. I threw together a very quick charcuterie board.

From November 3–16, the days were filled with projects, gatherings, and small but meaningful moments. Here’s a quick glimpse as I continue to play catch up.

Life has been moving fast lately, and blogging honestly slipped my mind. Still, I don’t want to fall too far behind on sharing updates. My last biweekly post covered Weeks 39–40, and I’m skipping Weeks 41 & 42 since those were spent on our cruise. So today, I’m picking back up with Weeks 43 & 44, spanning October 20 through November 2.

Some traditions just get better with time. Last weekend marked the 3rd annual Halloween party at Drew and Caitlyn’s, and it was every bit as festive, cozy, and joyfully chaotic as we’ve come to expect. Between the costumesand cornhole, the evening stitched together laughter, friendly competition, and a few new rituals that promise to carry forward.

Lately, I’ve been drawn to stories that explore connection, resilience, and the quiet power of transformation. Each show or series I’ve watched lately has offered something different: a moment of reflection, a spark of outrage, or a comforting escape. Here’s a glimpse into what’s been on my screen and on my mind.

This fall I’m starting a Fall Bucket Photo Challenge…to gather the moments that feel like a memory, and the ones that might become one. Its not a checklist. Not a race. Just a way to notice what fills the bucket: light, color, memory, longing. The things we almost miss. The things we want to remember. Let’s curate photos that speak to autumn’s texture. Scenic drives, waterfall mist, roadside candy shops, quiet towns, and the way the light shifts in familiar places. Some will be from past trips. Some will be new. All will be chosen with care. If you’re feeling…

This fall itinerary traces a scenic route from Auburn, Alabama through the mountain towns of North Georgia, highlighting cozy stops, seasonal flavors, and places to pause along the way. Each destination includes mileage from Auburn to help visualize the journey, but you can easily adapt the route from wherever you’re starting. While I’ve visited all of these locations before, I haven’t experienced them during peak fall—so this guide reflects both personal recommendations and my hope to return and see their autumn beauty firsthand.

Fall is my absolute favorite, so I was thrilled to see this delightful mix of questions all centered around the season. 1. Fall officially rolls into the Northern Hemisphere on Monday (9/22)…what’s your favorite thing about fall? I love all things fall. Cooler temps that whisper rest, leaves turning like pages in a story, football weekends wrapped in team spirit and fleece, Halloween magic…masks, moonlight, and mischief, and the gentle crescendo of it all. Thanksgiving, where gratitude gathers around the table. 2. What’s one thing on your real or proverbial autumn bucket list? Here’s a Fall Bucket list that I…
