Thanksgiving is a busy day in every household and coming up with ways to entertain the children can require more energy than a cooking mama or papa has on reserve. Planning a simple arts and crafts project and setting up a table for scribbling, decorating and family bonding time will keep the tots occupied while the grown-ups cook, watch football, sip a glass of vino and prepare the big meal. Check out some of our favorite projects for a little artistic inspiration.

Back in the day, one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving was the annual Friends Thanksgiving episode. Specifically, Chandler's complicated relationship with the holiday always cracked me up. You may remember that when Chandler was nine, his dad used Thanksgiving as a chance to announce that he was gay.

I love me some mashed potatoes, especially on Thanksgiving. The problem is that this dish is usually overloaded with tons of butter and cream, which can be a big problem if you're trying to stay healthy. One way I make my mashed potatoes healthier is by using Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn potatoes instead of the old stand-by, Russet potatoes.

With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm sure many of you are looking forward to chowing down on some delicious foods.

Here are some gentle stretches you can do to ease digestion.

I'm not sure if everyone has heard but there's a new-ish brand with GUESS?, Inc. called GbyGUESS. I'm friends with their GbyGUESS and GUESS brands on Facebook and they share their online sales really early on Facebook (I haven't looked for Marciano, their high-fashion sales yet). Their sales this Thanksgiving are AMAZING! I don't know if I've ever seen GUESS with such large sales.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and happy Black Friday Shopping! I hope this helps :]

Hey KGs!
I wanted to share my Thanksgiving menu and see if you had any ideas and/or advice. This is the first year we are going to deep-fry our bird.

I will be visiting my in-laws, will most likely not be able to get on until Sunday. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone, and I hope you all stay safe in your many travels over the next several days.

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and my love of all things pumpkin is hardly waning. From yogurt to muffins, I relish this tasty flavor of Fall. If you're looking for a pumpkin pie alternative, these pumpkin-carrot bars are delish.

A couple of years ago, I spent thanksgiving at a friend's house. Everything was great, her mother had worked all day to make the perfect Thanksgiving dinner, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, homemade biscuits, and all the other classics. We all sat down to eat and some of my friend's siblings were arguing incessantly.
