In true ABM fashion we're here to get a little sentimental with ya on this Thanksgiving day! We talk often about what we're thankful for. We love our job. Sure, it has its stressful days, but when it comes down to it there is nothing in the world we'd rather be doing than creating this blog day in and day out. These past few years have been an adventure. We've made memories that we'll be telling our grand children about when we're real old like writing a book in four months or creating a bestselling app. I'm sure they will laugh at us and our OLD technology and weird stories, but I'm constantly amazed at how fast the world is changing- and how connected we all are thanks to the internet.
It means the world to us that you have come along on this journey with us. I hope you know that we truly consider you friends and we hope in the years to come we will have chances to meet many of you in person! Thanks for reading. We're so thankful for you.
Emma's Wearing: sweater c/o Everly, shorts/old cut off jeans, tights c/o Leg Luxury, boots/ShopSosie, purse c/o ChicWish, glasses c/o BonLook and hair chalk/UO (yes, it's hair chalk!).
Elsie's Wearing: Vest/Sanctuary Clothing, Scarf/H&M, Top/Gap, Jeans/Jessica Simpson, Bag c/o ModCloth (they have tons of colors! I love these bags.), Boots c/o Loeffler Randall.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American readers. And to our readers all over the world, we love you and we're thankful for you too!!! xo. E + E

Love the hair chalk! happy thanksgiving 🙂
This is very sweet.
I think it’s important to spend some time thinking about what you’re thankful for and how far you’ve come. Not being from the USA this is usually New Year’s eve for mr rather than in November but I hope you’re having a lovely day, Emma I love how your glasses match your hair!

Hey guys! I love your website, it’s a lovely little nook of the internet where everything is positive, you guys give me so much joy just by sharing your love for DIY and the other stuff you do. I’m from Holland, so no Thanksgiving here, but I wanted to say thank you for your website, it’s delightful. And, also thank you for the great hair-idea – I wanted to do a dip-dye for so long but always thought it could really be dull on my hair so I wanted something more special and I just love the pink in Emma’s hair!!
Hey ladies, Happy Thanksgiving! Although we don’t have it in Germany.
@1 Emma: love your pink strands
@2 Emma: love your brussels sprouts recipes, did them, loved them, converted people to eat them!
lots of thankfulness over the ocean

I enjoy your blog so much and I have learned several craft techniques from you – which I have then taught to my art teacher at my weekly class.
Love your references to when you are old ladies, I am 65 and looking back to my teens and twenties it is a different world!
You guys are too cute!

What?!?! No no no no! I literally just spat tea out all over the computer.
Elsie! My love! You’re a pretty woman…WOMAN. WHy style your hair like a small child? I don’t understand. Even Zooey would draw the line there.
Love Elsie’s boots! Don’t like the knock-off ChicWish purse Emma is carrying:(. I realize fashion influences fashion, but this is a direct knock-off of Alexander Wang Rocco bag, and I think its unfair to that designer.
Happy Thanksgiving from a French reader! I can’t recall how I found you blog (probably looking for a DIY project), but it was 1 or 2 years ago, maybe more, and I’ve loved reading you ever since! Thank you for bringing me so much inspiration!
Oh pleaaaase, a hair tutorial with those buns!
Happy thanksgiving to all the team.
YES! You both look so great. Emmas pink hair Every Word Handwritten
Lots of love from Germany! I never miss your blog posts, you inspire me every day! Keep on doing what you love. xo. lena

Well, since we are doing the sentimental stuff…
I am thankful for you guys and your blog. I am thankful to wake up and read your brilliant ideas while I sip my coffee. I am thankful for the inspiration you send my way and the creativity you spark up.
I am also thankful you took this journey. It makes me think I can make it just as far with my blog.
Thank you always, guys.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanks Giving!
Elsi, you look so cute!
It goes without saying that I am so thankful for YOU! ABM is the first lifestyle/creative blog I ever started reading (I think almost two years ago!) and I am so glad I stumbled upon it. You guys and your team have been such a huge inspiration to me. However cheesy it sounds, I cannot thank you enough for everything that you do. Life is about doing what you love and sharing it with others to serve and inspire, and that is exactly what you guys are doing. THANK YOU!
Fabulous! http://www.lavenue.com/
I’ve only just stumbled upon your blog, but I am loving it!
