Here are some things to add to your November must-do list and places where you can meet members of the Heart & Soul family:
November is …
… National Adoption Month. Share your heart and home with children who need some extra TLC.
… National Healthy Skin Month. Do your best to maintain that glow!
… perfect for a new shade of lipstick.
… ideal for those end-of-year donations.
… time to play in the leaves—and then get cozy around the fireplace with someone special!
“Do something fun this season,” advises Heart & Soul’s Downtime columnist Joyce Davis, who took her daughter, Amber, to a pumpkin party. “We had a blast, stenciling and carving pumpkins with funny faces, ghosts and owls,” Joyce said. “Happy Fall Y’all!” For more photos, check out Joyce’s blog: Enjoyceinglife!
