86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Will you be watching the 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? I will, as it is something I really enjoy! As a small child I loved parades and it was something I looked forward to every year. I would watch for hours, and just be enamored with the high flying balloons, Broadway features, marching bands, and guest appearances on parade floats! (It is on my bucket list to someday see it in person, or volunteer to take part in the parade!) I hope this is the year that I can get the kids to watch it with me! They have shown zero interest in years prior, but I am hoping that once I point out the character balloons that they know and love! 

 As part of the Believe campaign, Santa will of course end the parade as he has each year since the parade started! Each Macy's store hosts a red mailbox, that you can send a letter to Santa! (We have done this for the last three years.) Each letter dropped into the Macy's Believe red mailbox, will be matched as a donation to Make-A-Wish!
Have you seen the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person? Do you love to watch the parade each year on television? Have you mailed a letter to Santa's red mailbox at Macy's?

 *I was not compensated for this post! I am just a huge fan of the parade, and wanted to share my thoughts.

It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
