I hope you have an amazing day celebrating with family and friends. It’s the perfect time to take a moment to reflect on what you’re grateful for this year.

I plan on spending the day cooking (and eating) and spending some quality time the kids, grandparents and my brother and his fiance, but I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how very grateful I am for you. I feel so lucky every single day to have such a wonderfully kind community of people here who have connected with me through The Vintage Housewife.

I know things have been somewhat quiet around here, and the break in my blogging was not intentional.  After my sites were hacked, the restoration took a lot of time and was rather costly, and once I bounced back from the actual hacking and had finished mucking around in code I was burnt out. I didn’t enjoy all the backend work to repair the damage that had been done, and honestly didn’t even want to see the log window of my site for a while. 

I just felt drained. 

But I missed spending time here with you! And I know some of you felt the same way, and even took time out or your busy days to send me emails, messages, and comments during my break, and that meant so much to me! 

Thank you for spending a little bit of your day with me here on the blog, your comments, advice, and emails! I am so grateful for the wonderful community of ladies we have here, and I am so excited to spend more time with you! 

How are you celebrating today?

And what’s your favorite part of today’s feast?

I’m all about the pies!
