1. Beanie hats. It's cold out there. The dollar store has really cute ones and so does eBay. I am addicted to the dollar store. They have everything these days. Not like when I was younger. You had to spend a fortune to be stylish.
2. Lipton white mangosteen peach green tea superfruit. It's so yummy. I stocked up on my favorites this month. They had tea sales everywhere.
3. Bigelow earl grey green tea. I found this at Walbaums but when I went back they were all out of it. They had a sale on Bigelow 2 for $5. But I think target had it for $2.39 a box.
4. Music. For some reason I've been listening to a lot of Dolly Parton (the oldies) and The new Selena Gomez song "What the heart wants". It's been in my head for weeks. My son and I sit around and sing acapella. It really is a lot of fun. I am teaching him about rounds. He does a great job with "Jolene". I was so shocked that he told me he preferred country music out of everything. He said all of the other children in his class like hip hop and pop music and he doesn't really care for it. I'm just glad he enjoys music and it's something we can bond over.
5. Warm boots. MI was recently gifted with a really nice pair of black slip on mid-calf Bearpaw boots as an early Christmas present. Score! I love them, I wear them all the time. Besides being super comfy they go with almost everything in my winter wardrobe. On a budget? I saw similar pairs on EBay for $20 and you might even get lucky and outbid someone for less.
6. Cortland and Honeycrisp Apples. Today is actually the last day our local farm stand is open this season. We normally go to Lewin's farm stand. My daughter is such a picky eater, but I can get away with adding a variety of fruits and veggies into her oatmeal. Mmmm Oatmeal. I peel and cut the apple into small chunks and add it into the milk and oatmeal. I also add vanilla extract, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon on cardamom. It's heaven! It also makes the house smell amazing. Or as a simple low calorie snack sprinkle apple slices with cardamom. A little goes a long way.
7. Pinterest. It's great for finding recipe ideas or D.I.Y. crafts for the kids or just for yourself. This one is really something for the whole year round. But I find myself browsing pins more in preparation for the holidays and the winter months.
8. Blogging. Tee hee, that one is a bit obvious.
9. Thanksgiving!!! I am so thankful I get to spend it with my beautiful family today. And all the delicious food. 😊
Here's my list, short and sweet. I didn't get out a lot this month. What are some of your November favorites?
