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.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Cambio

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
