Thanksgiving 2016

November 28, 2016 | blogging, family, fitness, food, holidays

Hola friends! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family. Mine was a little odd compared to previous years, but I am glad I got to spend it with my family. Bobby and I were at my parents from Wednesday until Sunday. My sister even flew into town for a couple of days. Here is a quick recap of what we did.

Wednesday, we closed on our house in Mississippi. It was bittersweet, and the first rain we have had in weeks, so it was fitting for my mood.

We drove to my parents house in Louisiana, and settled in for a few days of hanging out with family. Thursday included a lot of cooking, parade and football watching, and eating.

After a delicious meal, we all took naps (as you should on Thanksgiving!) and then I went for a quick 3 mile run.

After some photos, we went to visit some sweet friends that we are going to miss so much!

On Friday, my mom sister and I went shopping and to lunch. Then Friday afternoon was spent watching all the Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond Thanksgiving episodes. Best shoes ever! We ate pizza and watched more football that night, after my dad brought my sister to the airport.

On Saturday, my dad and I took Emma Kate to the playground.

My dad and I also ran a few errands, and then we just kind of chilled the rest of Saturday…and watched more football…and ate more food. On Sunday, my parents went to church while we loaded up the car and said our goodbyes after lunch. It was sad, but my family is coming to Tampa for Christmas so that will be fun!

It was nice to have a few days to rest and recharge before the moving in madness begins this week!

Holiday hosting just got a whole lot easier ✨ As Holiday hosting just got a whole lot easier ✨ 

As a busy mom, I love serving a “wow” cocktail that looks impressive but takes almost zero effort. The Bartesian lets me skip the recipe testing, ingredient shopping, and playing bartender all night. Just pop in a capsule, add the appropriate spirit, choose your strength (or make it a mocktail!), and your drink is ready in about 30 seconds, with no measuring, no mess, no stress!

With over 50 cocktail options and multiple machine models to fit your needs, it’s become my go-to for all of our holiday events. 

🛍️ Black Friday came early—now through 12/3 save up to $150 off Bartesian Cocktail Makers! 

🍹 So check the link in my bio or comment the word CHEERS below and I will send you the link so you can upgrade your hosting game this season! 🎄🍸

#ad Who says gift cards can’t be personal? 🎁☕️ T #ad Who says gift cards can’t be personal? 🎁☕️ 

This year I wanted to do something special for my coffee-loving friend — something simple but still thoughtful. I grabbed a Starbucks gift card from Walgreens (they seriously have every kind you can think of, and you can even Buy Online, or Pickup In Store 🙌). 

Then I added my own touch: a cute Christmas mug, a candy cane, and a little note. Because the best gifts don’t have to be complicated, they just have to show you care. 💛
