We have officially hit the 150-day mark, so it should be any day now. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself! 😂With November comes something else… my favorite holiday! Thanksgiving!We don’t have extended family gatherings to worry about, so we get to enjoy Thanksgiving without the stress that comes with some big family get-togethers. For us, it’s about good food, family, and enjoying the day together.Now, cooking Thanksgiving dinner really isn’t all that different from cooking an everyday meal around here. My family likes to eat! And apparently, we like our milk too. I know some people find it mind-blowing that we go through about 65 gallons of milk in a month. Yes, you read that correctly! With a family our size, that’s just another month around our house! 😂One thing I love about Thanksgiving is seeing which dishes make it onto the menu each year. Last year, my kids added homemade mac and cheese to our Thanksgiving dinner. I love that they are starting to add their own favorites and traditions to our holiday meal. Who knows what will make the menu this year!So, while I’m waiting for those babies to finally make their appearance, keeping up with the normal housework, doing outside chores, and homeschooling the children, I’ll also be planning and looking forward to my favorite holiday.November is also the month when so many people take time to share what they’re thankful for. I love seeing that, but for me, I try to remember to be thankful every day. That doesn’t mean I always show it or stop long enough to say it, but there is so much in my life that I’m grateful for.Between family, our homestead, and all the animals that keep life interesting, there’s certainly plenty to be thankful for.Now I’m curious… What’s your favorite holiday, and what’s your favorite dish to make for it?
