Valentine’s Day Decorations
Valentine’s Day decorations are out at my house earlier than any other holiday mostly because I use the small, red lights from Christmas as part of the Valentine’s Day decorations.

Because we’re always trying to simplify our Thanksgiving celebration, this recipe for dry brining a turkey for Thanksgiving falls under the category of “super duper simple.” It requires only a few minutes of actual effort and then it’s a matter of waiting. Plus, I recommend getting your husband to do it and then it’s even {Dry Brining a Turkey for Thanksgiving}
Homemade Cranberry Sauce
This past Sunday, I was looking at the ads in our Sunday newspaper. One of the ads, from a national retailer, who also sells food, included a page with a picture of a Thanksgiving dinner. Aside from the turkey (which they also sell), all of the food in the picture came from a box or {Homemade Cranberry Sauce}
Celebrating Simply: Thanksgiving
If you dread every holiday season, beginning with Thanksgiving, because you feel like it exhausts you, then turn the holidays on their head and start a new tradition: celebrate simply and begin this year.
