Pumpkin Pie

Pie, Pumpkin, Thanksgiving

 
If your family is a little strange like mine, then giving this recipe to you now is perfect.

My family isn’t having Thanksgiving until Sunday this year, but that’s okay. 

I don’t know about you all, but I am feeling super thankful today.   I have a great family, boyfriend, and friends.  A great job, a wonderful home and neighborhood, clothing, food, etc.  I have absolutely zero room to complain.  I’m glad that there’s a holiday that makes people stop and realize what they have.  It’s sometimes very easy to get caught up in every day life and take things for granted.

So stop and think about all that you’re thankful for today.   I would love to hear why, so leave a comment!  Happy Thanksgiving!  Eat some turkey for me today 🙂
