A Small Thanksgiving

Every year my family invites over family friends to have a thanksgiving dinner together, but this year my family decided it would be just us having a small thanksgiving dinner. It was great! It was very peaceful, plus, the fun of the dinner was making it together and everyone helping. Here are a couple of Instagram photos from my family's thanksgiving dinner.

                           Chicken instead of Turkey this year, corn, rice, and macaroni salad!

Strawberry Cheesecake & Apple Pie. Can you tell this isn't homemade? ;)

How was your thanksgiving? Did you enjoy a big feast with family & friends or a small dinner with your immediate family?

Without Technology

Hurricane Sandy was a bigger storm than expected. It seemed to have left millions of people without any electricity or even water in their homes. Not to mention, the enormous amount of flooding throughout the states that were most effected. I was one of those millions of people without power for almost 3 days. It was terrifying at first because without Internet, light, and telephone, it's hard to be connected with others for news updates on whats going on and it's even harder to find something to do when you're so accustomed to technology for entertainment. While my iPhone still had battery, I took a picture of basically what I did for majority of the time. Reading "Jane Eyre" by candle light on my bedside table.


 Strangely, (don't hold this against me) I liked having no connection to the outside world. I got a peace of mind, slept extremely early those nights, and did a lot of open-minded thinking. It was nice while it lasted. On the other hand, I am happy I am connected to the world again.
