HAPPY FRIDAY!
Hope you all had an amazing THANKSGIVING! We enjoyed time with family and friends! I even hosted my third free local Turkey Trot and about 80 people showed up! It was a huge success and I can’t wait to it again next year.
Today, I got out and did a bit of shopping today with my girlfriends and it was a lot of fun! I love to give gifts, but I also recognize that gifts are not the only thing to celebrate and enjoy through the holidays, there is also the amazing gift of quality time together! Soaking up the sounds and seasons of Christmas is just my favorite!
Two years ago I did this 24 Days of Togetherness idea,  by Tina and decided it was time to bring it back!  You make a list of 24 things, cut each item into a strip of paper, but them in a jar, then pull one out each day and do it together. It’s fun, spontaneous, and of course we can be flexible and pull out a different one if we can’t do one of them that day. Just making this list makes me happy! I took some of Tina’s ideas and my friend Kasey’s and added some of my own, customized for our family! We will be doing these and tagging #24daysoftogetherness on Instagram. My friend Kasey from Veva Health is doing it too! Who wants to join us?

This is a really fun idea!
I love that you kept the DQ Holiday Blizzard in your list 😉 And I think it’s so cool that you planned your own Turkey Trot! You should definitely write a post about how to plan you own 5K/10K for people who don’t have them in their area. Looking forward to all your 24 Days of Togetherness Instagrams!
