8 Ways To Get Extra Brownie Points This Thanksgiving

In This Article:

It's officially "get out the kitchen" season, at least for me.

Is my mom the only one who asks for my help cooking, but ends up getting frustrated with me because I'm in the way more than anything?

Eh, I hope not. I swear my mom loves me.

I don't take it to heart, I mainly just laugh. It's funny because the holiday season can bring out anyone's frustrated side.

I mean, if you are helping your Grandma cook for Thanksgiving, you better be on your A game.

I say that because you know how serious they are about their cooking, and that's a bad side I definitely don't want to be on.

I'm totally kidding, but for real study the recipes up and down before you go help Grandma. HAHA

Now, if you know that you are not meant for the kitchen, like myself, then I have made a list of other things you can do to help out.

1. Go get the groceries 

It is the one thing that is most dreaded, so this will definitely get you extra brownie points!

2. Unload the groceries

Make your mama, grandmama, or whoever's hardheaded self, sit down and relax while you unload and organize the groceries.

3. Get out the mixing bowls & dishes

Save them from straining themselves and grab those pans, youngin!

4. Wash the dishes

It is very likely that the dirty bowls placed in the sink will need to be used again, so stay ahead of the game.

5. Fix them a drink

Whether it's wine, beer, sweet tea, or apple cider, you will be a lifesaver.

6. Go grab some food

I mean, fixing all these yummy meals has to make them hungry. Treat them to their favorite carry out, on you!

7. Clean the house

Clean house, happy person.

8. Finally, set the table

Before doing so, make sure you know the correct, etiquette, way to do so. I wanted to throw that out there to save you from an hour-long lesson on how to set a table.


By now, you should have made your way to the top of the favorite child/grandchild list.

Just kidding, they would never admit to that.

They will, however, be extra grateful for all of your help.

Thanksgiving is a memorable holiday and it should be made less exhausting.

By helping out in anyway that you can, it will help reduce Thanksgiving stress.

Be an angel this holiday, and even beyond holidays.

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.

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.
