My Thanksgiving Hero

la-brea-bakery-contestLike I mentioned in this post, La Brea Bakery, an artisan bread company that is sold in various Kroger and Giant Eagle stores around Central Ohio, is hosting an awesome contest in which you nominate your “Thanksgiving Hero” on Facebook: Someone you know and love who regularly works on Thanksgiving serving others. This can be anyone from a firefighter to a police officer to a waiter to a nurse, etc.! This “Hero” is sacrificing their Thanksgiving to help their community.

My Thanksgiving Hero is my brother, Brandon. He works as an ICU Nurse and usually has to work on holidays that the rest of America gets to take off. He never complains about having to work some not-so-great hours… he just does it. He serves his patients, his hospital, and his community every time he clocks in. And for that I truly admire him and the work that he does.
brandonIf your “Hero” is one of 5 finalists chosen across the nation, La Brea Bakery will deliver a fully catered meal to him/her on Thanksgiving Day! I can’t think of a better way to share the spirit of Thanksgiving with someone that has to work! :)

Head over to Facebook to nominate your “Hero!” The deadline to enter is this Sunday, November 15, 2015. Good luck! :)

Full Details on How To Enter: Click the “Thanksgiving Heroes” tab on Facebook to create your form submission by including: Your first and last name; zip code; email address; an essay of 100 words or less telling about your family member that you will be unable to share Thanksgiving dinner with and submit at least one photograph showing both you and your family member that you will be unable to share Thanksgiving dinner with. Submissions must be received by November 15th 2015. Finalists will be announced November 17th 2015, after which the public will have a chance to vote for their favorites through November 20th 2015.girl_about_columbus_blog

Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
