It happens every year: November hits, and all of a sudden it’s like somebody hit the Fast Forward button. Between getting ready for Thanksgiving, doing a little organizing (if by little your definition is totally overhauling every closet in the house), and trying to get a little Christmas shopping done I’m absolutely swamped.

Even with all of that, though, we still managed to get over to Epcot for one more visit to Food and Wine (awesome), and we’re heading to Tallahassee for the big Homecoming game this weekend, which means that Oliver gets to go spend some time with his friends at the Dogmahall and the big dogs get a break from all of his manic puppy energy.

I expect things will begin to slow down sometime around February.
