Thanksgiving Top Five



This week I'm linking up with Rachel over at Just Peachy for her Top 5 Tuesday.

 This week's topic is of course, THANKSGIVING!!! So here is a list of my top 5 favorite things about Thanksgiving.

1. Football.  I'm sure that seems a little weird, but second to the Superbowl, Thanksgiving football is some of the best.  Especially this year....Packers/Lions at 1:00??  Yes please!!!

Let's go LIONS!!

2. Family.  It is so fun to get together with everyone, laughing, talking, and sharing a meal.




















3. The smells.  I'm not really a fan of Thanksgiving food...I don't like turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, most veggies, or any kind of pie really. {I know..I'm a weirdo}  But I do love the smell even though I don't love the taste!  It just smells so warm and homey.


4. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  Watching it always reminds me of being a child.  Relaxing in my jammies, eating some breakfast, and watching the parade while my mom made an apple pie.  It's even more excited now that Little M is older.  I love watching her reaction to all the floats and balloons!


5. Black Friday Shopping.  It's weird that I like this because I rarely actually go shopping on Black Friday, and the few times I did go it was just during the day.  But the excitement of it all is a little contagious.  My friend L and I actually decided last night that we will go with the crazies at midnight one year soon.  I mean who doesn't love a good bargain??



So what are your favorite things about Thanksgiving??

    I love Thanksgiving too! I don't know how you don't love the food though! It's probably my favorite day for eating! lol. And we're big on football too. My Mom called to tell me we were meeting for Thanksgiving at her house at 1:00 bc the game starts at 1:15! No joke! lol. I've never actually seen the Macy's Thanksgiving parade, maybe I need to check that out. I am Black Friday shopping this year! I've done it the last two years and it is so much fun! Seriously! I know that sounds crazy but it is! Plus I get almost all of my shopping done and for way less! If you lived closer I'd convince you to come with me! :) Happy Thanksgiving!!

    Oh my goodness! I have never met anyone who didn't like Thanksgiving food! What do you eat instead of those things?? I guess this is what makes us all unique! I am not a big football fan and until your post I had no idea what teams were even playing! However, I am a HUGE fan of the food!

    Enjoy the holidays!!

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
