I have one more day of work and then I can enjoy time with family and friends. I hope you make fantastic memories this week.

I have been asking myself what I want my kids to remember about Thanksgiving and this is what I've come up with:

• Help the hungry. We have been participating in Run to Feed the Hungry since we were first married. I hope the boys always choose an organization to help on Thanksgiving. 
• Consider ways they can be kinder to their friends, neighbors and family. Maybe surprise someone with a pie or sparkling cider.
• Make fun memories with family and friends. 
• Play outside and enjoy the gorgeous weather. 
• Learn a recipe and understand that family events don't have to be stressful or stuffy, they can be fun and loving. The planning and fussing is all part of it.

Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs and love to you turkeys.
