in the spirit of thanksgiving, i thought i’d take a go at some things i’m thankful for…
for lindsey’s willingness to help me cook dinner… almost every night. she’s becoming quite the little cook and i think is always more eager to eat what’s on the table be it brussel sprouts or tacos when she’s had a hand in the process.
for my husband with whom i feel like i can do anything. so corny but so true.
for heat that kicks on whenever i want it to.
for nathaniel’s smarts. he’s doing so well in college and i’m really quite proud of him.
for my body’s ability to do what i tell it to whether it’s stand up, sit down, go for a walk… limbs that move and work…
for the love of a family… from my kids, from my sisters, my mom and dad… the love of a family. ugh, so good, sooo good.
for william’s helpfulness. that kid gets such joy out of making me and steve happy. i hope it lasts!
for jordan’s sense of humor. though he can be a bugger at times, when the mood is right, he’s still got his sense of humor.
for the eyes that parker gives me. even when i’m chatting away with a friend i look down and see him staring at me like, “you’re the best.” no parker, YOU’re the best.
for tv shows. sad, but true. i’m enjoying pan am this year, you guys? and revenge too. yeah… i do like tv.
for books. and this one is soooo good these days. i’m almost through it and i got it a few days ago which is good consider parker’s a demanding little fellow.
for gracie’s eagerness to fetch. while it’s terribly annoying at times, she really is so stinking cute.
for the 23-lb. turkey i’ll be making on thursday. wish me luck.
happy thanksgiving!

Have a lovely Thanksgiving with your beautiful family Bridget! Enjoy cozy time and turkey and pie! (Lots of pie!)
If you need a great pumpkin recipe, I think mine is sort of the best ever. Here it is:

Happy Turkey Day!
oh man, I've never cooked a turkey either! Good luck! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! My dog gives me those same eyes:)
Pan Am is my favorite show right now! Love it! Doesn't it make you want to go back in time??
Revenge and Pan Am are my favorites right now too. Especially Pan Am. I love your list, it's very sweet 🙂 I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!
That's the first thing I noticed about Parker when I got to see him f'reals. Those eyes and those expressive eyebrows. They're the best.
I would say, "Watch out for the ladies when he grows up" but I know how that annoys me when people say it about EE.
I want to be all, no, Everett's never dating. Ever.
Lovely list friend! Enjoy your holiday.
This is a great list! We have so much to be thankful for.
And I really like the pallet sign picture that you posted. I want to make one of those soon but it'll probably wait till spring! Ha.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I always love your thankful lists – you inspired me to do my own this year! Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!
I'm completely loving Pan-Am too. No one is really talking about it, so I wasn't sure if I was the only one watching it! HA! But yeah, love everything about it…makes me want to go back in time!
Happy Thanksgiving!
So sweet! Happy Thanksgiving. I love that you feel like you can be yourself with your husband. You guys are so awesome together.
great thankful post. and that is one big turkey! lots of leftovers or lots of people to feed? i've got 2 birds but only their breasts. ok this just got awkward.
Thanks for the book recommendation! And, nice list.
Super sweet list. It's good to remember sometimes, isn't it? Happy Thanksgiving and good luck with that huge turkey!
happy, happy thanksgiving to you and your adorable family, friend…
xoxo
Making a list of what we're thankful for is probably the most relaxing, cleansing and thought-provoking exercise out there. I especially love that you listed heat and the fact that your limbs work when you want them too. 🙂
Oh this is so sweet, you have a beautiful life!
That's such a sweet Thankful list!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!
oh jeez, i heard HORRIBLE things about pan am. I'm a Mad Men girl all the way. The only show I've been kinda keeping up with is American Horror Story.
Wonderful list of thankfulness 🙂 Have such a happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanks for the "thanks". We all need more perspective on the good, better, and best things in life. And even some silly ones! Have you ever brined a turkey? They are so easy and taste amazing. Google Alton Brown turkey brine, and then follow his instructions on cooking. A bit startling, you begin the roasting at 500'!! But it is no-fail and fabulous! Have a lovely day tomorrow!
I like your list, B.
And I like you.
So there.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Hunts.
i'm thankful for you. and steve. maybe steve a little more.
oh, and my husband and baby i guess.
I just read that book, I think it was right before Westley was born. 🙂
I love your thankfulness list.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your awesomesauce family! Have a lovely day tomorrow, and make sure you relax!
All great things to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving!
such a darling post. you are an incredible writer. thanks for reminding us of some of the smaller things to be thankful for!
i dont see my name on this list..#confused
I've been meaning to read that book! In fact I ordered it from Amazon and the seller canceled my order! I'm currently deep into the Hunger Games. Oh my, what I have been missing!
