Mitten Moments

Welcome to my Mitten Moments! 

Random moments from my week that I am sharing with you!!

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.” – Jim Bishop

On this Saturday, all the leaves are in their glory, in The Mitten. The cold has come and the frost is on the ground, but it’s such a pretty time of year here! I do love living in a place where I get to experience all the beauty of each season. It really is such a special gift!

This Week On The Blog

Did you see my post, this week, on Some of the Best Walmart Christms Finds 2021? There are so many amazing finds and also have great price points!

Are you team merry and bright or team traditional? Whatever your preference, there is something for everyone.

I know it is early to talk about Christmas for a lot of you, but I have to get everything done by December 1st. Head on over to the blog to see why.

Other Random Items This Week

1) Hard to believe but we are celebrating my one and only gbaby’s 2nd birthday this weekend. She sures makes our world a brighter place! If you are a mimi, gigi, grandma etc., then you know what I mean!

2) Hallmark Christmas movies are back! Have you been watching? There’s nothing like a good Hallmark movie to get you in the Christmas spirit!

3) My middle son is getting married next week and I had my first wedding nightmare. I dreamed I forgot my hair and make-up appointment!

At my age, that is something I cannot forget. I need a little help from beauty professional friends!

4) Did you hear about the spud in New Zealand that weighed in at 17.2 lbs? They named it Doug.

That’s right, Doug…I think Doug could feed a lot of people this Thanksgiving!

And Now…

This gorgeous Christmas table setting

25 Days of Thanksgiving

These DIY painted wood ornaments

These amazing candles

This homemade crandberry sauce

This yummy white chicken chili

I hope you have enjoyed my Mitten Moments, this weekend.

I hope all the moments of your Saturday bring you more joy than you could imagine!

    Oh my gosh Kim! Those nightmares!! I was dreaming of being late for work yesterday morning. The dream was so intense that I must’ve been turning my alarm off and HAD TO REPORT LATE FOR WORK!!! I felt like a deer in the headlights the rest of the day! Tell me when your appointments are and I’ll send you a reminder, lol!

    p.s.
    White Chicken Chili is calling my name!

    Congratulations on the wedding of your son. I would be dreaming all sorts of things! Trust NZ to grow an award winning spud – wish I could grow things that were award winning in my garden. Thanks for sharing. I always love reading your posts.

Good morning!! I am happy to report that it’s Good morning!! 

I am happy to report that it’s going to be a White Christmas in the Mitten, this year! We have had crazy wind and blowing snow, but it’s supposed to clam down by this afternoon! 

I know the snow is complicating travel and Christmas plans for some of you and I pray you all get where you are going, safe and sound! 

I’m signing off for a few days to enjoy some much needed time with my family! I’m so grateful to celebrate the reason for the season! 

I’m sharing some photos from my Christmas home tour in case you missed it! 

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! May it be merry and bright! 

Peace and Blessings, 

Kim ❤️🎄
