11/23: What Black Friday sales are you hoping for?

Not much as i am almost done with my Holiday shopping 

[Ispend2much6]

Giving back?  I leave my quarter in my cart whenever I shop at Aldi in case the next person forgot theirs.:) 

[PrettyPaint]

That's so kind of you @Ispend2much6 

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 that's so thoughtful!

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1  It only took one time of not remembering to bring a quarter, and waiting in line to get change for $1 to imprint that frustration in my mind.  Plus, a quarter is 1/16 of a gallon of milk. 😂  Every quarter counts!

[CynthieLu]

I love when that happens @Ispend2much6 great idea! 😄

[CorgiMommy]

11/22: Giving back - what are some small ways we can do this?

I went through my beauty products and things I brought and never used including lots of samples i donated to a local woman's shelter.

Every time I go to Costco I purchase a case of a kitchen staple for the local food bank. 

[CynthieLu]

Those are both so kind and generous of you @CorgiMommy 💝🙏

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu thank you, I am grateful to be able to do this.  After college I  struggled making it on my own so I know what people go through living paycheck to paycheck. Time to give back.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CorgiMommy great ideas!

[CorgiMommy]

Thank you, so glad I am in a place in my life to do this. @greeneyedgirl107 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@CorgiMommy yes!

11/20: Is there a nail trend you'd like to try this season?  No.

11/21: What do you really think of turkeys?  I think they're a bit creepy but also intriguing. 

 11/22: Giving back - what are some small ways we can do this?  Donating food.

[CynthieLu]

11/15: Create a candle for autumn...what notes would you use?  How would you package it?

Hum... How about Pumpkin Ice Cream?? 🍦 

11/16: Staying warm - how do you do it?  Tell us about your slippers, gloves, robes, heating tricks, etc.

A heated blanket is a joy 😜

11/17: How do you keep positive when it gets colder/darker?

I'm very lucky where I work right now has a ton of windows and light to keep my spirits up as it gets darker here. ✨

11/18: What outdoor activities sound like perfect fall fun?

Nature walks 🍂 🍁 

11/19: Best autumn sounds/feels?

Autumn feels? It always feels so nostalgic for me.

11/20: Is there a nail trend you'd like to try this season?

Nothing that comes to mind... 😅

11/21: What do you really think of turkeys?

I like spotting then in a field safely from a distance or from our car. I know they can be a little nasty so I keep my distance. We do sometimes tease them a little by making turkey noise's. 🙈

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  "Nostalgic-" that's a perfect word to describe autumn.

[CynthieLu]

Right? I don't know how it does it @Ispend2much6 but that's just the feelings that come up year after year. 🍂🌰

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu pumpkin ice cream candle, i am in!

[CynthieLu]

Thanksgiving dinner itself or leftovers? Leftovers

Mashed or baked potatoes?

This is hard...I guess mashed.

[CorgiMommy]

@greeneyedgirl107  leftovers are the best 

[CynthieLu]

Love some extra credit @greeneyedgirl107  😜

I agree with leftovers, for me it's stuffing. I love it the next day and the day after. 🤩 What's your fav left over from Thanksgiving dinner??
