I know, what could be less glamorous than a casserole carrier? That’s what I thought until I found this Casserole Carrier from Vonny Los Angeles, found via Hostess With the Mostess. With the cool colors and patterns, these casserole carriers are so cool! It’s a little late for Thanksgiving, but I know this will come in handy for upcoming holiday parties!

We’re getting closer to Thanksgiving day, (2 days! so close!) and I’m trying to come up with ways to show how thankful I am for who and what I have around me.

Here’s to hoping you have a happy, healthy, and thankful Thanksgiving holiday!

Although a rainy day can seem disheartening, find something fun to do indoors and take advantage of the excuse to relax. Curl up with a good book and make some peppermint cocoa, watch a movie with some buttery popcorn, or try a craft with the kids, such as rain sticks.
