I Am Thankful For…

OK, so I admit this is a little cheesy and something that I used to dread as a teenager, but I feel that it is necessary and so appropriate to share what I am thankful for this year. And what better day to share this with you than on Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for….

My beautiful, hilarious, innocent, precious kids…

My supportive, honest, hard-working, dependable, handsome, lifts-me-up-when-I-am-down husband…

My amazing extended family (my 2 sisters, my mom, my dad, step-parents, nieces, nephews, grandparents)…they are some of my biggest cheerleaders.

Thank you!




My health and happiness…

The fact that I am able to spend Thanksgiving with my whole family in Idaho surrounded by the mountains covered with over 2 feet of snow…

And last, but certainly not least, the success of Hip2Save thanks to all my amazing readers!

In the spirit of the holiday, what are YOU thankful for?

    AWWW.. I came on here for a few minutes of down time and this was really nice to see! I am thankful for my beautiful family and for having such a wonderful husband who takes care of his family. As I sit here and look around my living room, I have the aroma of food cooking, the twinkling Christmas tree lights and my two boys playing quietly while my baby girl naps and I am truly blessed.

    Beautiful pictures! I have had probably the worst year of my life, but I do have to say that I am thankful for my 2 beautiful children, my parents (who were there for me when the world ended), and the rest of my friends and family. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it all without you.

  17. Linda

  21. Kim Johanson

    there is so much I’m thankful for…. here are a few things
    1. That my hubby gets to be with us for the holidays. He’s in the Marines, and we have been lucky enough that he hasn’t been gone for Christmas.

    2. That my son is happy and healthy

    3. That sites like yours have allowed me to avoid bankrupcy, despite the fact that we have to pay rent where we live + the mortgage on a property “back home” that we can not sell.

    4. That my family and friends love and support me in whatever I do.

  22. Nancy Desin

    I am thankful for my kids, and husband being so awesome. I am so thankful for this blog, without it I probably couldnt afford some of the basic neccessities. I am thankful for God who has put a few people near us that help when we are done. Without them my kids wouldnt have christmas this year, as my husband just lost his job yesterday for the 3rd time in 2 years. Thank you for this awesome hip2save community. Happy thanksgiving!!

  35. Jana

    Thanks for sharing Collin, your family is beautiful. I am thankful for so many things, but what has been on my mind this last week is my husband and his health. 2 years ago (minus 4 days) my husband had open heart surgery and now my kids are being tested for the same disease. I am sooo thankful my husband is doing well and that we found out about it when we did and for the medical technology to test and surgery to help aide in this condition. I am so blessed for my family who are supportive and loving.

    Thanks Collin for all you do to help save us money!!!!

  36. Christy

  43. Megan

    Thanks Collin! I am thankful for you and your blog. Seriously, our Thanksgiving has been the most relaxed one ever, in part because we already had a pantry stocked with great stuff for our dinner! Shopping for Thanksgiving was so easy and short. Also, I am 90% done with my Christmas shopping. We even have our toiletries all stocked for 2011 probably. My husband said we had so much toilet paper we were ready for the “poopacoplyse”!! Ha ha, anyways, thanks!

  44. CA
