Give Thanks!

 

I realize this is an incredibly cheesy (and poor quality to boot) photo of my kids posed with their “sign of thanks,” but they were very proud of it and it seemed a fitting way to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your food and family. I’ll be back in a few.

And don’t forget to enter my Thank You Giveaway on or before Friday.

Blessings!

    […] During the podcast I shared a Thanksgiving tradition the girls and I have embraced for the past two years and plan to repeat again this year. It’s super easy even for moms who are somewhat craft challenged like I am. Inspired by a craft from Family Fun, the girls and I go on a nature walk and collect natural artifacts like leaves and acorns. When we return home, I spell out “Give Thanks” on construction paper with glue (one letter per sheet of paper). The girls then sprinkle on some of the bits of nature onto the glue. We bring the letters to wherever we’re celebrating Thanksgiving (either my parents’ house or my in-laws’ home), and we use string and clothes pins to hang up the sign by the table where we’ll feast. You can see a photo of the first sign we ever made here. […]

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.
