Share 4 Somethings in November 2025

Image
I know the last Saturday of the month is not until next week but I'm going to take a blogging break starting Wednesday the 26th- Monday December 1st (while Alec and his roommate are here) and I didn't want to miss Share 4 Somethings with Jenn so I'm posting mine early. I do expect to have time to read and hopefully link up but I won't be writing or publishing anything new.  As always we're sharing some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of .  Some things I've loved:  Seeing Hadestown with my boys .  I loved the date night my husband and I had last weekend; we met friends of his at Foxwoods for dinner and had so much fun (plus the food was incredible too). the casino was all decked out for Christmas too.  I have loved watching all my Christmas cacti bloom this month.  Some things I've learned:  I've been learning a lot about Animal Behavior and re-learning many things about Economics that I had...

Fall Vests with Ageless Style

Image
It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Jodie picked styling vests. I do enjoy a good vest out but I only own 2 vests so my style choices don't change much. I decided to do a round up post of the various ways I've styled my favorite vest in the past.  My favorite vest is a quilted navy blue vest I got in one of the first Stitch Fix boxes I ever received. I love all shades of blue so this was a great addition to my closet. I typically pair the vest with a blouse or sweater, a pair of jeans, and some booties.    To me this is a very classic "fall in New England" type of outfit.   Amy ~ Amy’s Creative Pursuits Blog  |  Instagram  |  Pinterest  |  Facebook  | Bo ~ Bo's Bodacious Blog Blog  /  Instagram  / Pinterest  /  Bloglovin' Jenn ~ Overflowing with Thankfulness  Blog / Instagram / Pinterest Joanne ~ My Slice of Life Blog / Instagram/ Pinterest...

What's Up Wednesday in November, 2025

Image
It's not the last Wednesday of the month and while I have no idea if Sheaffer and Shay are hosting next week or not I love having this month wrap up to look back on and didn't want to just skip it.  What We're Eating:  I just shared a post Monday with all the new recipes we've been trying lately. We've had lots of "old" favorite recipes mixed in too this month. My favorites this month include:  Shrimp stir-fry over riced cauliflower with homemade pineapple teriyaki sauce.   crustless quiche and salad Homemade eggplant Parmesan with zoodles and sauce.   My lunch salads-- tossed salad with tuna, seeds (pumpkin and basil in this photo), dressing, & croutons   What I'm Reminiscing About:  Thanksgivings when the boys were little and my whole family used to come over. Our meals have gotten so much smaller over the years. (sorry no photos; I was much too busy cooking for 20+).  What I'm Loving:   I finished up all the scrapbook pa...
