Thanksgiving Entertaining Ideas and Weekend Reads | 11-15

Happy Friday!  Another weekend reads coming your way with plenty of Thanksgiving entertaining ideas and holiday gift inspiration.

I cannot believe how November is totally flying by.  I am just not ready for the holidays.

This will be one of our few weekends at home over the next fews months.  We are heading to a charity auction on Saturday night, so I’m excited to dress up for that.  See below for what I bought to wear.

And Sunday, I will not be getting out of pajamas as I plan to binge season 3 of the Crown;  Who else is super excited for this?!

Thanksgiving Entertaining Ideas and Weekend Reads | 11-15

I always love integrating a little old and a little new into our Thanksgiving dinner.  Seven new recipes for side dishes and dessert to try out this year.

Have friends/ family staying with you for Thanksgiving?  Easy and delicious breakfast ideas when you’re hosting.

I got really into gin and tonics when we were in Spain a few years back.  I love this idea for a gin and tonic bar for Thanksgiving.

During the holidays, I get more emails than ever.  Tips for managing your inbox from 25 famous women.

I am loving Kathleen’s camel coats!

A Thanksgiving menu maker to make life a little easier.

Holiday dress time!  I love celestial prints right now.  Deciding between this and this (both under $125) for a charity auction this weekend.

Does your dog the post-bath zoomies?!  Winston totally does.  Here’s why.

Where to find the best fall/winter booties under $50.

Details on another Netflix show I cannot wait for!

On a more serious weekend reads note: this is a really important thread to read if you’ve ever wondered why journalists need to knock on doors and call people after tragedy.  I’ve been faced with this several times in my career, including having to knock on the door of a family whose teenage daughter had just been killed by a drunk driver.
