Planes, Trains & Aldi Things

This week, we’re rolling from Thanksgiving prep straight into full-blown holiday mode in Simi Valley! The Town Center tree lighting may have been postponed, but the rescheduled event is stacked with performances, snow, characters, and the best Santa in the business. I’m giving you the inside scoop on our favorite photo spot (no ad, just love!) and how to snag their limited-time discount before November 30th. I’m sharing my hot takes on sweet potatoes, the great stuffing debate in my household, and our long-standing tradition of watching a top-tier comfort movie if there ever was one. We’re also talking turkey trots, Black Friday decor runs, and the holiday explosion that hits my house the moment the leftovers are in the fridge, and of course… Aldi finds! Finally, I’m sending out a heartfelt Thanksgiving message with resources for anyone needing a warm meal or support this holiday season. Grab a cozy drink, settle in, and let’s get festive—Simi style. Gobble gobble!
