Another organizing kick. Just turned our basement junk closet into my gift wrap closet. Jon thinks I'm crazy for having a closet dedicated to gift wrap but I think it's marvelous!

Turkey Day is almost here and I thought you might like some FREE Printable 2x3" Thanksgiving labels to use at your holiday gathering. Use them as food labels, drink labels, place cards….whatever you would like. Enjoy! Xo, LL

This year I decided to go CAN-FREE for Thanksgiving. It was so much easier than I thought, doesn't take much time, tastes amazing and it's cheaper too! Last night I made sweetened condensed milk, condensed cream of mushroom soup & cream of chicken soup. I doubled the soup recipes so I now have 8 more bags of cream of mushroom/chicken soup in my freezer for another time. You should give it a try, you won't be sorry! Here are the recipes I used:

I made this pumpkin spice white hot chocolate for Thanksgiving last year and it was a hit. Super easy too! It's such a yummy drink, a must for the holidays!
