This post is a shout out to some of my favorite bloggers. If you haven’t read them before, now is the time! I’m truly thankful for having met them, for their words, friendship and support. Here’s my way of saying thanks…
‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving and throughout the bloggy land
Mama Nicole was Working in Sweats and Christine was dreaming about the Hawiian sand
Mommy Laura’s sneakers were hung up for the night, while her daughter who shouts “Mommy, Run Fast!” was nowhere in sight
The Dose Girls were nestled all snug in their beds while thoughts of “What Would You Rather Do?” and “Pinterest Nightmares” danced in their heads
And Tamara with her Camera was poised, ready to click while Hope was Defining how not to get sick!
When down the road at the gym there arose such a clatter that Britt was thrown off her Own Balance to find out what was the matter…
It was Nellie doing Zumba and Joi with BodyCombat just cranking up a workout to help burn off that fat!
Away to get her Bosu Day with KT flew like a flash while Beth from Shut Up and Run broke into a mad dash
When what to my wondering eyes should appear but Kate with Another Clean Slate and Carla from Real Into – both had no fear!
More rapid then eagles The Valentine RD she came and Michelle at Dish of Daily Life whistled and called out by name:
Now Twitter! Now Pinterest! Now Facebook and Instagram! On, blogging! On, vlogging! On, tweeting and pinning! We have a Rafflecopter giveaway and someone who’s winning!
To the top of Google + to the top of SEO, quick we need to get to Karen who’s Baking In A Tornado!
As when Raising Flowers and Skids as Leah does so well, or being A Fierce Diva under Ilene’s relentless spell – all grew quiet on the inter webs until Happy Fit Mama said “Enough of all this Thanksgiving Day drama!”
“You’re right!” said Dana who had A List ready while Andrea from Be Quoted held her pen steady.
…and I heard Alison say as she closed her laptop up tight, “I’m Writing, Wishing you all a Thanksgiving great night!”
Happy Thanksgiving to bloggers everywhere! I hope you can enjoy a day of rest.
Who is your favorite blogger? Who do I need to check out next?
This.is.AWESOME!! Love, love, love this, Allie. Did I mention how much I love this? Thanks for the shout out! I’m so glad to have ‘met’ you & can’t wait to meet in person. We need to get together all of these awesome ladies. So many of my fav peeps here!
Thanks so much Nicole! I actually thought about this (and even “wrote” some of it) while running. I’m sure you can relate to that! We definitely need a big get together. Bloggy conferences will be coming in the summer and fall… although I’d prefer to meet you at a race!
AW!! Thanks for the shout out!! What a great Thanksgiving surprise!
We love you, Allie!! (The turkey-fied Allie, rocks!! Gobble, gobble)

This is so clever, Allie! Great job. You nailed it.

And this is beyond amazing. Seriously Allie this totally made my day and my weekend (sorry it took me so long to get here!). I’m am very thankful for all my bloggy friends and for getting to know YOU this year!
Thanks so much Christine! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
I’m humbled to be included on this fabulous list! Thank you so much. You got many of my favorites in there too. Brilliantly done my smart friend. I’ve said it before but I’m so glad that we’ve found each other in the blogosphere.
One of my favorite bloggers that wasn’t on the list is Elizabeth Jayne Liu (www.flourishinprogress.com). She’s deep, honest and edgy but there’s a sweetness about her that draws you in. She’s raw and real and blows me away often.
Wishing you the beginning of a wonderful holiday season! Many thanks again. I’m at a loss for words. Xo
Thanks for the recommendation! I know that anyone you love, I will love.
Can’t wait to hear more about your trip to the East Coast. It looked like you had a really great time.
Thanks again, so much, for your friendship!!
I can only imagine the amazing holiday “poem” you will write on XMAS EVE… Then again on XMAS DAY.. And then NYE… and then…. VALENTINE’S DAY! OMG so weird to think that before you know it, it will be Valentine’s Day all over again…. HECK NO! That day is dead to me, LMFAO! Oddly enough though, I know far too many people who have been born on that day!
Sounds like I have a TON of rhyming to do!!
So true about Valentine’s Day. Maybe I should make it an ode to birthdays instead?
OMG – this is so awesome, Allie!!! I’m a little bummed that I’m so late reading but actually it is a happy Monday read!! Thank you so much for including me on your super cool post!!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!
It was so much fun to write. I’m happy you were able to read it and be a little surprised on a Monday 🙂
