Hello December! My most favorite time of the year is finally here. Can you believe it? We were busy this weekend and got a little of our Christmas shopping done as well as decking the house with boughs of holly..(“,). And today is no different. My eyes were glued on the computer checking my favorite stores for great deals and I got lucky to grab some. Thank you, Cyber Monday! I think I am done Christmas shopping for my boys. Not unless I spot another great deal.
But enough about the Cyber Monday madness. For now, I’ll be taking you again to the month that was. A month that was full of surprises and fun. Enough reasons for me to say that we are truly blessed.
My hubby, Harry took you all on a nostalgia trip of our summer vacay to Atlanta, Georgia. He gave you a treat with a coke in hand into the World of Coca-Cola. He also taught you what he knows about the history of Atlanta through what he learned at the Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum. Lastly, he gave you a tour of the CNN Center.
And guess what guys? The series doesn’t end there.There’s more yet to come because he’s been a little bit lazy and has not written about the grand finale to that busy day. And just to give you a heads up, there will be two more places that he is going to share after that one. Uh oh! I hope he won’t bore you. LOL.
Fall soccer has ended with a bang, and we are so looking forward to spring for the next season. For now our son will be playing other things inside our house unless the weather would be nice enough for us to go somewhere to kick some balls around. I do hope he won’t be kicking the ball inside and breaking things. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
For the first time since this blog started, I shared some recipes. I’m so glad to have shared them with you like my late mother-in-law June’s brownies and my own version of Garlic Shrimp or Gambas al Ajillo. I hope I will get to share more later.
Oh how I miss the Filipino food back home. Thinking about it now is making me hungry. And how about some desserts? A meal is surely not complete without them, right?
The month of November is mine and my son’s anniversary month when we arrived here in the U.S. Like I said in that post, we arrived here two days before Thanksgiving and that is one of the reasons why November is so special for us. There are just a lot of happy and good memories in that month.
This November will also be the month that our blog was invited to join a fantastic network and we were over the moon. I think you already have an idea what network it is. So thankful we are.
So there you have it. How was your November?
My November went by way too quick LOL. I am looking forward to Christmas in a few weeks.
My November went by SUPER quick. Which is actually kind of great because I leave on my honeymoon this week!
That is great! Enjoy your honeymoon! (“,)
I can’t believe it is already December this year has flown by. It sounds like November is a great month for you and your family.
It was. We couldn’t be more thankful. (“,)
My November went by crazy fast. I guess tons of work and preparing for the holidays will do that!
What a nice November you had. I know, it went quickly! I love the fall months!
December is definitely my favourite month too. There’s something magical about this time of the year 🙂
You got it right. Magical. And I guess it’s the spirit of the holiday season too that makes it feel like the happiest season of the year.
Love post likes this, you guys sure had fun 😀
My month flew by in what seems like moments. I think it was nice, but I honestly can’t remember? I’m glad yours was so special!

November completely flew by! Every year comes quicker and quicker.
My November was crazy hectic, so the time really flew. I can’t believe it’s December already!
Can’t believer we already year end! It’s so crazy.
My November was terrific. We welcomed to new babies, my daughter gave birth to twins and we are so excited. They are still in the hospital because they were born premature but they will be home before we know it and grandpa and I can’t wait to start spoiling them.
Aww, that is sweet. Congratulations! (“,)
Sounds like you had a great month. My boys play soccer too, congrats to your son!

November looks like such a great month for you. I read all about your Atlanta trip and it seemed amazing. I hope December is just as great for you 🙂
Thank you, Fiona. That is so sweet of you.
Our November was good. My daughter got her drivers licence. So now i have two teenagers on the road.
Good to know that. Congratulations to your daughter! (“,)
November was bit of a blur since it went by so fast. I guess because I stayed so busy with everything!
thanks for sharing your recap of November with us. It is great to appreciate every moment in life. November is my son’s and father’s Birthday month. Amazing how time flies.
Time do fly. Hope they both had a happy birthday.
Looks like you had a wonderful month! I want to try that cake! Can’t believe NOV is over!
November was pretty hectic for me, had so much to do but did stop to enjoy Thanksgiving. Glad that your had a great Nov. =)
Thank you, Bonnie. Glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. (“,)
November was a little crazy for me but it sounds like you had a really good month. I hope you have a great December!
Thank you. Hope you will have a great December too. (“,)
It sounds you have busy month. I did not go in any shopping during Cyber Monday. I heard from my husband tablet was a the best deal he ever seen.
Good to know that. There were a lot of great deals. Really.
It sounds like November was a busy one for you! I’m glad you got some good deals on Cyber Monday – I did, as well!
Good for you, Carly. Weren’t those great deals awesome? (“,)
My November was pretty good. The highlight was spending Thanksgiving in Michigan with my stepson. We drove over 9 hours to get there.
We love road trippin’. Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving as well. (“,)
I can’t believe how super quick the month of November went by! I don’t remember time going by this quickly when I was a kid! LOL
It would seem December comes faster each year! I hope to have decorations up soon lol. A few years ago my boys did tried out soccer – until I had them in, I had no idea how much practice and training athletes did.
I haven’t tried filipino foods, looks yummy I want the recipe of filipino foods, looking forward to your more blog posts thanks!
My November was okay. I’m ready for a fresh start with the new year though!
I wil try your Garlic Shrimp or Gambas al Ajillo recipe. That’s one of my favorite dishes!
