15 Things To Thank Your Older Siblings For This National Sibling Day
Grace Lundquist

The rumor is true—you really do get closer with your siblings as you get older! It's not until you aren't spending every waking moment with them when you realize how special they really are.

Growing up, I always despised being the youngest. I couldn't ride the crazy roller coasters with them—instead, I had to stay behind for a lot of things, and really felt like I was always missing out. Not until now do I realize how lucky I am to have been given forever friends.

So thank you...

1. For showing me what NOT to do and allowing me to learn from your mistakes

2. For sticking up for me

3. For helping 'break in' mom and dad by the time I got older

4. For all the memories—good and bad

5. For letting me hang out with you and your friends. I felt SO cool

6. For always being honest, even when it might've hurt


7. For being great role models—you've taught me huge life lessons

8. For having someone to talk to at family things

9. For being my go-to when I find myself in trouble


10. For rooting me on at any sporting event or performance

11. For making me an aunt and giving me the cutest niece and nephews ever

12. For having an extra closet to shop in (this one is my favorite)

13. For somehow being able to pick out my fake friends before I do

14. For giving me thick skin and teaching me how to take a joke

15. And for being stuck with me forever!


Love you guys. I'm so happy to call you my family.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
