A Blessing for Your Week

May you find the simplicity you’re looking for this holiday season.

May you quickly see the shortest path to joy,

May it be right in front of your face so that you just can’t miss it.

May you give yourself permission to let go of what doesn’t matter, so that you have room in your hands for what does.

And may you enjoy every single morsel at your holiday table, and every single person gathered around it.

Simplicity Tip of the Week

Did you know you can make ahead almost every single element of your Thanksgiving dinner? It’s true!

Turkey. Stuffing. Potatoes. Casseroles. Bread dough. There are so many things that taste delicious even if you make them ahead and freeze them. Just do a Google search for recipes that’ll reheat well. You will thank yourself when all you have to do is pop a dish into the oven or on the stove.
