Cozy, Cute & Comfortable Outfit Ideas for Thanksgiving Day
Full of Thanks
If you haven’t caught the drift of what it is I’m thankful for this year, then you’ve been doing too much laundry and not enough reading of The Spiff!
So guess what? I’m thankful for little cool cat Jackson.
The process of watching him grow and change is so fascinating, exciting and so wild…and my goodness he’s only 3 months old! What will I do when he starts walking/talking/DRIVING?! *Smacks forehead.
What he’s reminded me of, though, is how much God loves us.
I think I love this baby a lot, but God loves us even more. I think I went through a list of trials and heartaches to get him into this world, but that’s nothing compared to what God did to save us.
The other thing Jackson reminds me of is how, on occasion, we’ll think our needs aren’t being met. It will be about our feeding time and we’ll cry and cry thinking God has forgotten us and why doesn’t He feed us anymore and oh my goodness things just look so bleak…never mind, there’s the bottle. We just had to wait a minute while He prepared it.
I’m thankful for this little boy in so many ways, but the biggest appreciation I have is for how he’s shed new light on my relationship with God.
Hey, go and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, friends. And know that I’m thankful for you too!! :)
Press Pause with Me
Today I wanted to provide a moment. A moment to pause.
Next week (if not already) the holiday rush will begin. I’ve already thought several times about everything I want to get done before Thanksgiving. But right after that thought starts the panic that I’m not enjoying the last week of fall.
So I needed a moment to pause, and I figured you did too.
This is a picture I took in my favorite place to walk. I love going on walks because they force you to just slow down, enjoy the moment and think. If you don’t have time for a walk, enjoy this picture for a second.
Notice all the pretty leaves, especially that gorgeous red tree in the background. Think of the fun things you’ve done in the past month, your favorite moments, things you’re thankful for. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
One thing I’ve tried to do since giving birth (and especially in this, my favorite time of year) is take moments to just think about how much I’m enjoying everything. And it helps! I can look back on all those times I’ve paused and it feels as if time isn’t flying by me as much.
Listen, my goal with this blog isn’t just to help you put outfits together. My hope is that you always walk away with a little more swagger in your step because TheSpiff has made you feel happier, more uplifted. And yes, in my mind you finish the blog then immediately walk away from your computer.
I hope that today I’ve handed you the chance to enjoy the season! The holidays are about to begin and they’re going to be wonderful, you’ll get everything done. Just enjoy yourself.
