Febreze® Home Collection Wooden Wick Candle

Want your house to smell like there is a fire burning in your non-existent fireplace and you just pulled fresh gingerbread cookies out of the oven without actually having done either?

I have the solution!
Meet the Gingersnap Vanilla Wooden Wick Candle from the Febreze®
Home Collection!

This candle is addicting.

Thank goodness it burns for up to 80 hours!

The Wooden Wick Candles are available in a variety of scents.  The Gingersnap Vanilla is seasonal along with Yumberry Sangria and Anjou Pear Sauce which both sound like they would smell delish too!

Other available scents are Green Tea Citrus, Pomegranate Mango, Cranberry Pear, Orange Honeycomb, Rosewood Plum, and Willow Blossom.

I am a huge fan of candles but I have never found anything like this and can tell you that I will continue to fill our home with wooden wick candles because I love that it smells like there is a fire burning and since we have no fireplace, this just does the trick for me!

Now I just have to go snatch up a few more of the gingersnap vanilla scent before they disappear from the stores!

Our First Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, the Alex and I are doing something we have never done. We are preparing our own Thanksgiving dinner for our little family of 5 to enjoy together.

Since my in-laws are off on a Trans-Atlantic cruise for the next 3 weeks, we celebrated Thanksgiving early with them and since they always get us on Thanksgiving and my parents get us the day after, we have found ourselves with the opportunity to do something on our own.

The plan is to make a fabulous meal while we watch the Green Bay Packers kick some Detroit Lion butt and just enjoy the family time together.

On the menu is a massive 22 pound turkey ( I know, 22lbs for 5 people—can we say major leftovers?!!! The Alex was in charge of purchasing the turkey and took advantage of the fact that we got it for $0.44 a pound thanks to our store savings card!) We are going to stuff the turkey with aromatics and roast it while basting and brushing it with butter because really, everything is better with butter!!!

We will also be making cornbread stuffing that involves bacon (YUM!), bacon-cheddar mashed potatoes, baked macaroni and cheese, a broccoli casserole, corn, sweet potatoes, fresh rolls, cranberries and of course homemade gravy!! Plus there will be both pumpkin and apple pie for dessert!

I cannot wait to start cooking!!!

We are super excited to have the opportunity to do this and cannot wait to start cooking! I will be posting pictures and recipes after the holiday so you can see how everything went!

This will be the first time either of us has ever cooked a turkey!!
