What I Love About November

It's officially November! I don't know about you, but I really love November. There are so many exciting things about this month! So, I though I would share a couple of the reasons I enjoy it.

1) The first thing that comes to mind is Thanksgiving. When I was younger, I actually didn't like this holiday. But now that I'm older, it has become more special to me. I like all the thought that goes into it, from the decorations to the meal preparations. And I like that it's not like other holidays where it's easy to get wrapped up in the "receiving," rather than the actual reason for celebrating.

2) A break from school! As a homeschooler, I never get a fall break. So, when Thanksgiving rolls around, there's always a sigh of relief to finally have a little time off.

3) Birthdays. I know a lot of people who have birthdays in November, so this is always a fun addition to the month!

4) Fall...all the way. I love warm weather, but it's always exciting to see the seasons change and the cool weather finally arrive. (In case you're wondering, where I live, it rarely gets cold until at least the middle of November.)

5) A time to reflect and reset. November to me always seems like a time to pause a little bit. It's not quite the end of the year, but almost. It's a good time to look back on the year, and also a good time to reset before the December chaos.

This year my sister did our fall decorating. 
These pieces are always some of my favorites!

Whelp, that's the end of my list, although there are definitely more that I'm sure I could come up with. Hope you enjoyed this post!
