Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for so many reasons, not only because I’m so grateful for my family and friends but come on… THE FOOD!

I cooked a 16-pound turkey for us the weekend after Thanksgiving since we spent the holiday with friends and my favorite part is all the leftover turkey.

This soup is so easy to make and can be made on the stove or in your crockpot.

Let’s get started!

Did I DIY my own maternity photos? Yes, yes I did Did I DIY my own maternity photos? Yes, yes I did 😂 might delete later, but truthfully? This pregnancy, that has been high risk, touch and go and a rollercoaster since 20 weeks had me in some rough spots at times. This was the first day I actually wanted to get myself together and I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t capture my bump at 34 weeks. We’re hanging on for as long as possible but I have a feeling she’ll be here soon❤️
