A Life of Simple JoyReducing stress, increasing joy one post at a time!

Congratulations to Heather, winner of our November Giveaway, our Christmas of Simple Joy Gift Set. Here is Heather’s Thanksgiving tip:

Get everyone who are invited to your Thanksgiving dinner to fix something whether it is just a desert, main course or  appetizer. We always have Thanksgiving dinner at my Great Grandmothers house the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This year we decided to help with a restaurant who is giving people a free dinner who cannot afford one. I love helping others.

Thank you to everyone that entered. Be sure to check back for our December giveaway. I will post it the beginning of December.

Congratulations to Sherry Conrad, winner of the Simple Joy Gift Set. Sherry’s Simple Joy Tip is:

Dinners are often hectic so I try to prep as much ahead of time as I can- marinate meat before I freeze it, brown a huge batch of ground beef then freeze in meal sizes, wash the veggies and fruits when I bring them home and use my crockpot when I know I am having a busy day and don’t want to be tempted by the drive-thru.

All the ideas sent in were fabulous! Thank you to everyone that took the time to send their tips.

We are planning a new giveaway each month so be sure to check back for details.
