As hard as it is to believe, November is here. And although it signals that Christmas is around the corner (and I’m zero prepared!), it’s actually one of my favorite months. I love Thanksgiving….the food, getting together with family to eat the food, pulling out Christmas decorations and sweaters, cooler temperatures…You get the idea.
It’s a low key holiday with no pressure or expectation. All Thanksgiving asks of us is to gather with family and friends to feast, and to give thanks. And I have much to be thankful for, so I’m always quite overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion during this season.

Oh, and November is also my birthday….Holla!

Almost anything you want need, CSN has an online store that sells it! And, they offer Hassle Free Returns and Free Shipping on just about everything! (Which is important for me, I didn’t get the nickname ‘Rita Return’ for no reason!) Here are a few of my favorites:
I’d love an end table like this one for Babygirl’s room:
Cutest headboard ever:
For your chance to win $55 to any of the 200+ CSN online stores, simply become a follower of Hi Sugarplum! and leave a comment on this post telling me so! I’d love to hear what you’re grateful for this season as well (besides good online shopping…that’s a given!)
**Giveaway open until midnight November 10. Winner will be chosen via random.org and announced Friday, November 12. So sorry, but US and Canadian readers only (their rules, not mine!)**
