November has arrived! Thanksgiving month is my favorite. Pumpkins, stuffing, and pretty leaves…what more could a lady want? A mustached man in her life? Yep, November also means it’s Movember and Josh is growing a serious ‘stache. October was a month of pink pride and helping raise funds for breast cancer research and November promises mustaches galore to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Aside from being a worthy cause, Josh is happy that he gets to grow a mustache and I’m happy that I can say things like “Soup Strainer,” “Face Furniture,” “Lip Toupée,” “Mouth Brow,” and “Snot Mop”.
November reminds us to be thankful for all of the good people and things in our lives. There are endless ways for you to express your gratitude for the good in your life, if you’re looking for a few ways to give back, here are some links:
American Red Cross: Hurricane Sandy
Movember Donations
National Breast Cancer Foundation
Feeding America
Now be thankful that it’s Friday and time for Friday Favorites. 🙂

While I’m thrilled that you loved the apple cider donuts enough to share them, in the future, please contact me prior to posting one of my pictures on your blog. It’s a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you amend your post to give me credit for the photo, I won’t file a complaint.
Hi Coleen, I am sorry, I never intended to make your photo look like it is my own. In my weekly Friday Favorites, I post pics from around the web to link my readers to the things I like and other food blogs that I admire. I always include a link to the blog of the picture that I am posting. If you click on the red text within “Favorite Breakfast” readers are linked directly to your blog. I have now edited your apple cider donuts to make it more clear that the picture came to you. If you would like me to remove you from the post, please let me know and I will do so immediately. Sorry for any confusion, I only want my readers to get to know the blogs that I read. I will contact you in the future if I am wanting to use any of your pics in my Friday Favorites. Again, I’m so sorry! Keep cooking amazing looking dishes. 🙂
