What I’m Bringing to Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving is definitely my favorite holiday! I love spending time in the kitchen with my family because I got pretty lucky with a family of stellar homecooks. Although hectic, being in the kitchen with them has inspired me and allowed me to learn so much over the years. My family likes to stray from traditional when it comes to our Thanksgiving dinner.

I wanted something more minimal but that still had the creepy factor so I came up with this design instead. I found almost all my materials at Dollar Tree and this came together for under…
Fall Decor That Won’t Break the Bank

This year I’m extra excited for the holidays because it’s the first time I have my own home to decorate. I was counting down the days for fall to officially begin so I could start putting up decorations. However, I quickly realized I didn’t have many decorations of my own and didn’t want to go spend tons of money on seasonal decor. I made a few trips to Dollar Tree, Target and T.J.
