Happy Thanksgiving friends! I can’t even believe I am typing those words. This year has absolutely flown by, and here we are kicking off the holiday season! Instead of the usual outfit post today, Megan and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to express gratitude for the things in our lives that we feel thankful for. I did have to throw in a few outfits for fun from previous posts, and they’re all linked at the end for you.
Expressing Gratitude for Thanksgiving:
- My husband: This blog here would not be around if it weren’t for this guy. He encourages me to take changes and try new things. He also supports everything I do, and has helped me take changes I would never do on my own. I know it sounds cheesy, but I really couldn’t imagine life without him.
- My baby girl, Harpie: No shocker here that this little girl is my world. When I was pregnant, before we knew the sex, I not-so-secretly expressed that I wanted a girl. She is definitely my mini me, for better and for worse. She keeps me on my toes, and has given me a love I could have never imagined.
- My family: My other biggest supporters and basically my favorite people to be around. I am so thankful to have an amazing family in my life who I know will always be there for me. They are so helpful and loving. The amount of gratitude I have for them really can’t be put into words.
- Home: There are many people who don’t have a place to call home. I am so thankful and feel privileged to have a home of my own. Our house is small, but is bursting with love and laughter and is perfect for our family.
- Health: I have experienced first hand that many people are not as fortunate in this regard. I have the ability to make choices to ensure my health, and that is something I definitely do not take for granted.
- My friends: I am grateful to have a few groups of close friends in my life who are basically family. You know who you are, and my life without be complete with you!
- My jobs: Sometimes I get overly stressed and complain that I have too many jobs. Although I do have multiple jobs, it’s definitely not a bad problem to have. Best part is, I love each and every one of them. Each job allows me to tap into a different part of myself, help others, and help myself in the process.
- Blog: Piggybacking off of number 6, I have to express gratitude for where this blog has taken me this year.
- YOU: If you are reading this right now, I am beyond thankful for you. If you follow me on any form of social media, thank you! Without you, I wouldn’t even be typing this right now!
- My planner: This one might seem silly, but I couldn’t keep my life straight without it. Given number 7, I’d lose my mind without it. I get shit for having a paper planner, but let me tell you, that’s where it’s at! Coffee did come in a close second for this last one 🙂

Happy almost Friday friends! I can’t even believe that a week from today is Thanksgiving! Do you have any fun plans? I think we are actually going to have two Thanksgiving’s this year, one with my family and one with my in-laws. Who could pass up two Thanksgiving dinners? I’m actually more of a side dish and dessert fan than a turkey fan, but either way it should be fun!
Ever have those weeks where you aren’t quite sure what day it is? I swear I thought it was Thursday a few times this week. It clearly wasn’t. Now it’s finally here, and thank goodness. If you’ve been following my IG stories (@lindsayrutland) you may have seen that were are completely re-doing our guest room and man, that’s all that’s been on my mind. It all has to be complete by this weekend, and I can’t wait to show you how it turned out!
I have been all about shopping for some fall staple pieces lately. Oddly enough, the temperatures here have been thinking it’s winter. To say I was freezing while taking these pictures is an understatement. I must have looked like the biggest loser holding my jacket instead of wearing it haha! It’s all in the name of blogging because I am saving this amazing sweater blazer for another day.
