Thanksgiving Meal Plan

Hey yall happy Monday! I am excited to start another week, especially the week of thanksgiving! I have never been much of a cook but this year moving in with my fiancé, I've been cooking a lot more and have actually started to enjoy it. Especially when I try making something I never have and it comes out tasting amazing. So I thought what a better way to put my "cooking skills" to the test and cook for thanksgiving. Today I am sharing with you my meal plan I have laid out for Thursday. I hope this will give you a little inspiration on what to cook if you're having a hard time trying to figure it out. As far as how it will taste, well I will get back to you after thankgiving. lol CHEERS to cooking all day and stuffing your face with no regrets!!

They're so many things I am thankful for this year and ill start with today. I am thankful for each and everyday that I wake up, the gift of life is what I am most thankful for. God has blessed me tremendously this year and I am forever grateful for his love. I started this thing a couple months ago, each day I wake up and before I start my day I will name off five different things I am thankful for. Whether it be the bed you lay in, the person next to you, being able to see and hear or just simply the breath of life. It has helped me start my day with such a grateful heart and I believe that's how it should be. As Oprah Winfrey would say "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have you will never, ever have enough".

XOXO-
Katherine

Engagment Story

Calvin and I landed in San Diego, California Wednesday evening and headed straight to our destination in La Jolla, a small tourist town right outside of San Diego. I was so ready to go down to the beach and relax but Calvin insisted that we get ready for dinner and then go to the beach. I asked Calvin what should I wear something casual or dressy he says he’s going to dress casual so I’m thinking dinner is nothing fancy and we are just going to go down to the beach and watch the sunset before dinner. We get down to the “spot” right off the La Jolla cove, this view is amazing!! I see stairs and immediately want to go down but Calvin insisted again that we should go where there is less people, so he starts walking towards people?? Half way to the bridge where he wants to go he then stops and says wait lets go back so there we go turning around going down to the same stairs I had originally said lets go to. Little did I know that he was trying to figure out the spot the p...

Home Decor

JANUARY HOME DECOR Hola F riends! Happy Friday!! Today I am sharing a few home décor items that I have decorated the house with lately.. starting with the fact that everything I have linked is pretty much under $20! Anyone else feel like their house looks so empty without Christmas décor everywhere?! In our house we basically have two living rooms, one we use as a tv room and the other has been completely empty until now. Calvin got me couches for Christmas and I put our Christmas tree up in there this year so its slowly starting to look like a 'living room'. Living in a small town there are not many options to shop home décor. Believe it or not I get most of my home décor from our store in Fort Stockton, TX Ace Home Center and Dollar General! You'd be so surprised on what you can find and how affordable it is. Everything I have pictured is linked and you can shop instantly through this page. I'm still slowly adding more décor to our front living room so stay tu...
