Thanksgiving Dinner Take Two

Some might argue that the best part of Thanksgiving is the days of delicious leftovers that follow. Think about it, you get to redo the biggest and best meal of the year BUT without the prep work.

One of the best parts of the change of seasons is getting to re-decorate your home. Take some time this season to really make your home feel like fall without breaking the bank. There are plenty of do-it-yourself decorations that anyone can create! Try a fun Corn Husk Wreath for starters.
