Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? My family has a few and I look forward to them every year. Sometimes, though, traditions change for one reason or another. And sometimes you decide to start a tradition you know your family will love. .
Today on the blog I’ve got a list of some fun, unique and heartwarming traditions you should consider starting this Thanksgiving season. Which is your favorite?

Happy Halloween from my ghouls and the infamous Mr. Bones! What are you going as tonight? I’ll give you a hint for my costume: it includes a baby dragon. 🐉 🤔

Today marks two years since I lost my husband. Two years of figuring out how to move forward in this life without my person. It has not been easy. But I have just kept doing the next right thing. It has made a world of difference. .
I am currently in the middle of the ocean with three women who have become good friends in these past two years. None of them knew Garry. But they have been gracious in allowing me to grieve him this week by spreading his ashes at every port we stop at. This is how you survive deep grief: surrounding yourself with good people who let you do you. And who are there to help you when you feel you can’t anymore. .
For anyone in a season of grief I want to tell you that you are not alone. And you will not always feel this way. Every day gets just a little bit easier. Every breath gets just a little bit less painful. One day you will wake up and be able to smile again. Then laugh. Then feel joy. I promise, if you let it, life will be okay again. Just keep doing the next right thing. 💗

What’s a Halloween cruise through Latin America without a sugar skull mask?

Here’s to hammocks on a beach, not getting drugged, and unintentionally giving your friend a face full of boobs. Cheers! 🤣

Right before we boarded our ship we had the privilege of touring this gorgeous historic home in the heart of Galveston. .
This Victorian gem was build in 1890 and survived the Great Storm and two (intentional) house fires. The current owner is a lovely woman (also a widow) who couldn’t let this gorgeous home be destroyed. She is restoring is little by little every year and it is absolutely amazing. This is the kind of project I Hope I can tackle one day!
.
The second photo is me on the “widow’s walk” of the house where I could see our ship in the distance (third photo)!
