Thanksgiving tips, people are always looking for them, but I tend not to give them out so much. Probably because I feel it is a “to each his own” situation. Thanks to having kids I have given up on perfection and I’m a better and more happy person because of it. So, this Thanksgiving I thought I would share some fun posts from the past that focused on the holiday. I hope you enjoy this round up and whatever form Thanksgiving brings to you, have a happy one!

10 Things I Learned From Thanksgiving Week
My 10 Things posts are observations and things that I have learned recently. Here is a piece from Thanksgiving. Take a read and relax! Here is a snippet:
As we enter the next holiday season and your news feed is flooded by the person that has to show you the 500 gifts they bought their kids, every single thing that darn elf does, parties that you weren’t invited too, and a whole bunch of things that trigger you remember this….what you have to give is enough. Love is measured in gifts unseen. You have your own life, your own memories, and whether you eat off of fine china or paper plates, the food tastes the same.
Happy Thanksgiving!
