Saturday Salutes

 Alysa reminds us about Finding Life in the Margins.

Tammy has cute Thanksgiving-themed Printable Thank You Notes that would be great to use with your kids.

Tara shares 15 Thanksgiving Decor and Craft Ideas.

While I want to soak in all of November without jumping ahead to December, I am taking note of these 25 Christmas Traditions from Desiree and Liza’s 125 Stocking Stuffer Ideas for All Ages.

I used my slow cooker three times this week.  With afternoon sports practices for both girls, it’s so nice to come home and have supper ready.  Monday night I made Christy’s Taco Soup.  It’s not specifically a slow cooker recipe, but I put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, let it cook for the three hours we were gone, and it was perfect.  Changes I made (as always!) were to use half kidney beans and half black beans instead of all kidney beans.  I also substituted frozen corn for canned and added a little extra water to make it soupier – and to dilute a bit of the saltiness.  Even though I used beans I cooked myself instead of canned beans, I think the two seasoning mixes added a good bit of salt.

I think I could curl up in this chair with a good book and stay there for hours!  (Love the other photos of this room, too.  From Lauren at The Endearing Home.)

    I try to have margins in all my days, and I hate the days when I don't! (Okay, hate may be a little too strong, but you know what I mean.) I enjoyed reading about the Christmas traditions since I'm looking to add a couple to our family this year.

    I feel trapped when I don't have margins. Definitely a requirement for me, too! 🙂
