IN MY LIFE:
After a beautiful evening watching the lights get turned on at Opryland on Friday, I spent most of Saturday watching my kids’ basketball games (4, to be exact) and then they each had a friend over for a sleepover.
Yesterday was equally gorgeous here in Nashville (about 40 and sunny – my happy place!), which was perfect for my son’s 2 tennis matches (which he won both of!).
I then spent about 4 hours last night cooking things from the new cookbook I got from Pickler & Ben, Laura Lea Balanced. I made everything from Raspberry Ginger cleansing water and kale Caesar salad to SuperSeed flatbread and PB&J protein bars.
So far everything has been amazing and when I said something about it on IG, MULTIPLE people responded by saying things like “BEST COOKBOOK EVER” and “I USE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES PER WEEK!”.
You can find the cookbook on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2RQf1DM
Today is also when we observe Veteran’s Day. I am incredibly grateful for all who have served and continue to serve in our military to help protect us and defend our freedom. My father was a WWII veteran and I learned so many important lessons from him before he passed, some of which I’m sharing here:

And while I know this isn’t why people serve, there are MANY restaurants, stores and other providers and brands offering discounts for our military service-members today. You can check out all I’ve found here: https://www.samicone.com/info-about-free-veterans-day-deals/
PRAYER FOCUS: Gratitude
May we all be grateful today for all that’s been done for us and continues to be done.
