Thankful Hearts & Turkey Tumbles: How We're Celebrating Thanksgiving at Tumble Shine

Hey there, sweet friend!

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year—full of cozy food smells, extra family hugs, stretchy pants, and a whole lot of reflection on what really matters. 💛

It’s a season where we press pause on the chaos (even if just for a minute), gather with our people, and create sweet little traditions that stick with us for a lifetime. Whether you're hosting the big meal, visiting grandparents, or just trying to keep the kids from jumping off the furniture while the turkey cooks—we see you!

🥧 A Few of Our Favorite Thanksgiving Traditions

Every family is different, and that’s what makes this season so magical. Here are a few simple and fun traditions to start or continue with your crew:

✍️ The Thankful Tablecloth

Grab a plain white tablecloth and let everyone write what they’re thankful for in fabric marker each year. Watch it grow over time!

🦃 Turkey Trot Dance Party

Play a few upbeat songs while cooking or setting the table and have a full-on dance break. Great for burning off pie calories in advance!

📝 Gratitude Chain

Cut out strips of colored paper and write down one thing you’re thankful for on each. Link them together and hang the chain around the dining room!

🧁 Kid-Friendly Cook-Alongs

Let your little one help with an easy recipe—like sweet potato mash, pumpkin muffins, or the very important job of sprinkle distribution on dessert. 😉
