Happy Thanksgiving! Dave and I are spending the holiday in Florida doing some cooking, playing with our nephews, and seeing his family. I hope that you’re having a super wonderful holiday, too!

I know, it’s totally cheesy and sappy, but I like to take time on Thanksgiving to think about what I’m thankful for. I mean, isn’t that part of what #lml is all about? This year has been a big one, and I’m feeling grateful to have such a strong support system of friends and family. When times get tough, it’s a lot easier to navigate when you’re surrounded by awesome people. I’m thankful for all of you!

I’d love to hear what makes you guys feel thankful! Share away in the comments!

I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the kind words about Nani Dorothy’s passing. The funeral was really lovely. It was great to have the family and so many old friends together, and we shared stories and memories about my grandmother and that whole generation of our family.

For the eulogy, my pops told stories about the old neighborhood in New York where they grew up, and my sister and I shared a list of lessons we’d learned from our grandmother. Some of the stories were funny or poked a little fun, but we all went into it with the belief that funerals should be about remembering the things that make you smile, not dwelling on doom and gloom. My favorite lesson on the list was probably:

“Pink wine goes with every meal. In summer, add ice.”

We picked up a bottle of Nani’s favorite white zinfandel and had a toast for her the next evening. I think she would have loved it.

There were sad moments too, of course, but in the end we’re glad that she’s finally at peace. Thank you guys so much for keeping us in your thoughts – it meant a lot to have that kind of support.

Happy Thanksgiving, you guys!! I know it’s a bit on the hokey side, but I just am grateful for so many things that it was impossible to pass up a chance to say so! I’ve had really tough times this year and completely awesome times, too!

I feel so lucky that I’ve had my husband, friends, and family around to help me through when things got really hard. I think one of the upsides to hard times is that you really get to see folks’ true colors, and you guys overwhelmed me with support and kindness this year. Whether you’re here in Atlanta or living far away, I couldn’t have made it through some of the things life threw at me without you!

Even better: those same people were there to share the good times! Lots of exciting things happened this year, the most exciting of which was probably quitting my dayjob to do this crafting and blogging thing full time. Moments like this are a million times more awesome because I have my friends and family to share them with me!

If I could bake you guys a million cupcake, I totally would. I hope you are having a lovely Thanksgiving!
