8 Questions to Ask at the Table on Thanksgiving
Little Yellow Couch

Are you tired of hearing the same questions, same topics, and same discussions over Thanksgiving? Or tired of the silence and hearing people chow down? Well I have created some things you could bring up in order to have the perfect thanksgiving dinner conversation.


1.) Ask every person how each family member has blessed them this year.

This is a perfect way to start off with encouragement and really see how your family has blessed each other throughout the year.

2.) If you could only eat one food on this table for a year, what would it be?

Whether it's the turkey, potatoes, or the dessert, this question is a fun conversation starter and it is also a great way to thank the cook.

3.) If this was your last thanksgiving, what would you want to say to everyone?

This is a little deeper question, but it can really be intimate and a great discussion if you are genuine.

4.) What is the funniest thanksgiving memory you have?

Nothing beats hearing stories in your family and just laughing and reminiscing about all the good times. This a great question which can probably last a while.

5.) What famous person would be the most fun to have at this meal?

This is kind of one of those fun "what if" questions. You'd be surprised what your family members might say.

6.) If you had one hundred dollars, and it had to be spent on someone at this table, who and what would it be?

Another fun "what if" question that can be funny, encouraging or strange. You decide!

7.) Who do you miss the most today who can’t be here?

Whether you had a family member pass or just someone couldn't make it, it is important to appreciate those who are not there.

8.) What are three things you are thankful for this year and why are you thankful for them?

The typical thanksgiving question, but it is extremely important to discuss everything that you are thankful for. It really puts everything into perspective.


These are just some ideas to get the conversations started to have a intimate thanksgiving dinner. Happy thanksgiving!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
