When my girls were little, we wrote things we were thankful for on paper leaves and used them to cover a thankful tree. This week I’m sharing a different November tradition. Think of someone whose name might have gone on one of those leaves. What if you told them why?
YOU’VE BEEN THANKED!
You know how neighbors sometimes leave a Halloween treat on the doorstep with a “You’ve been booed!” note? I wanted a Thanksgiving version. “You’ve been turkeyed” didn’t sound quite right (what would you leave on the porch?), but “You’ve been thanked” gave me an idea.
Here’s how to start a gratitude chain. Write a thank-you note to one person and tuck in a little challenge card inviting them to thank someone else. You could hand yours to the crossing guard who greets your kids by name or mail it to the aunt who remembered the school play. Tell them the part you noticed. That’s the part they’ll want to read.
Your Fall Glow-Up: Two Drinks for Hydrated, Plump-Looking Skin
Cooler weather can leave skin looking dull and feeling dry. Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo brings a beauty upgrade to your fall routine: two delicious daily drinks that support hydrated, plump, luminous-looking skin from within.
Start with creamy, organic Sun Goddess Matcha, packed with antioxidants that support healthy-looking skin. Then sip B·T Fountain, a refreshing beauty electrolyte combining clinically studied ceramides, hyaluronic acid and electrolytes to support hydration and a dewy glow.
The beauty benefits come with impressive clinical evidence. In a clinical trial of B·T Fountain’s ceramides, skin hydration improved 25% by day 15. By day 60, hydration improved 37%, elasticity improved 36% and wrinkle depth decreased 8.2%.
Morning matcha. Afternoon beauty hydration. An easy ritual that fits into busy fall days while supporting skin that looks smoother and feels replenished. Your favorite daily drinks become a simple skincare habit worth keep
LIFE MADE EASIER
When your child gets stuck after “Dear Grandma”
Try asking, “What do you wish you could do with Grandma again tomorrow?” If the answer is “make pancakes in our pajamas,” you’ve got the makings of a pretty good note.
Younger kids can draw the pancakes and tell you what to write underneath. Use their exact words if you can. Grandma will recognize who’s talking!
A LITTLE SOMETHING FREE
Kids Gratitude Chain Thank-You Cards
I made four new thank-you card designs for kids. They can pick sunshine, flowers, superheroes, or space, then choose a lined card for writing or a blank one with room for a picture. Each design comes with a matching challenge card to tuck in the envelope.
If a note makes its way to someone’s doorstep this week, hit reply and tell me who you picked. I’d love to hear!
