November

Have I told you how much I love you, November? You don’t recall? Well, then, I’ll tell you again. I heart November. It’s my fav.

I love the crisp feel of the air. I love that the excitement of the holidays is in the air, but the hustle and bustle of it all is not yet upon us. I love that it is the month I became a mother. I love that November boasts highs in the seventies and often cloudless skies of wide open sunshine. I love that it is the month of Thanksgiving. I love that sweet potatoes, pumpkin breads, pears and apples abound. I love that November seems to provide the opportunity to really sit down and give undying thanks for the life that has become mine. To have two healthy children that fill our home with their voices means more to me than I could ever write. It’s all I’ve ever wanted: a family. I am eternally grateful for this, for my girls, for this month of celebration and thanks.

Happy November.
