We love reader photos, and this pic is the cutest photo bomb I have seen! Thanks to Lindsey of Springfield for sharing.
Our family is pleased to kick off the Thanksgiving season, our favorite holiday of all. The focus on gratitude, family and our favorite foods; it makes me feel happy just typing those words.
Of course, the HoliDaze fanfare has already begun, and thanks to Lisa Whelpley our guide is bursting with info for you to save time planning!
We at SpMoms are most grateful to our local sponsors who enable us to provide this website free to our readers, and we are thrilled to welcome our new Platinum sponsor, Memorial Health System! What an honor to have their support, and in return our readers will benefit from timely articles and event reminders year-round to keep our families healthy. Cheers to a great kickoff to the holiday season!

Make it a girls' night out or date night and honor the official kickoff to the Holidays by attending Memorial's Festival of Trees Gala on Saturday, November 16th. It's a relaxing and festive evening for adults, and the first glimpse at the beautiful trees and newly-crowned ribbon winners! It's a night out to enjoy.
