Thanksgiving Bob’s Burgers Episodes

What is up my fellow Belchies and Hippies! I am here, not queer, and ready to eat some turkey. Who else is with me? Just kidding, lets get real…Snuggled up in bed watching your favorite holiday episodes of your favorite shows is literally one of the best feelings ever. I love Bob’s Burgers, I don’t know if I mentioned that maybe like once or twice, but I freaking love it. If you have not watched Bob’s Burgers, I think now is the best time to start!

Season 3- Thanksgiving Episode 5 Titled “An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal”

What would you do if a very rich family friend or maybe your rich landlord offered you a lot of money to pretend to be married and use your family to impress an ex-girlfriend? Would you take the money and act your heart out or would you tell him to step off? The question arises in this fun loving, light hearted episode of Bob’s. This is one of my all time favorite Thanksgiving episodes because the music is on point. My kids and I sing the main song from this episode all the time. I think I was actually singing it yesterday!

Season 4- Thanksgiving Episode 5 Titled “Turkey in a Can”

This is my all time favorite Thanksgiving episode and if your new to the Belcher family this is a great place to start. There is so much that happens in this one and you really get a since of how they handle mischief in the family. No one is to be trusted, nothing is safe anymore!

Season 5- Thanksgiving Episode 4 Titled “Dawn of the Peck”

As you can see from the picture, this was not your normal Thanksgiving with the Belchers. What happens when the family decides not to celebrate traditional Thanksgiving, but to participate in the town’s local “Turk-Tacular Turkey Trot” is unbelievable. Was it the spirit of Thanksgiving? Was it Mr. Fishoeder’s lack of morals? Was it a bird-pocalypse? You will have to watch to find out and I promise it is well worth it. Bob gives us a lovely rendition of Donna Summers “Dim all the Lights”.

Season 7- Thanksgiving Episode 6 Titled “The Quirk-ducers”

This is honestly one of my least favorite episodes. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but hey we can’t love them all. This episode just didn’t hit the mark for me and it literally hurts my heart to type that. Bob’s Burgers is my favorite show so to say I’m not super hype for an episode just sucks. Wagstaff puts on a innocent Thanksgiving program when Louis, being Louis, meddles her way in and changes it. Poor Tina had a bright vision for how the play would go and…It did not.

Season 6- Thanksgiving Episode 4 Titled “Gayle Makin’ Bob Sled”

I just watched this today and this episode is literally why I named my cat after Mr. Business. The ten second interaction between Bob and Gayle trying to catch Mr. Business just gets me every time. This episode, in my opinion, has the second best Thanksgiving music. Oh yea and Europeans are just fine without Thanksgiving, but I love the nod to them. Random Shout out…

Season 8- Thanksgiving Episode 5 Titled “Thanks-Hoarding”

This episode literally makes me a little anxious. Teddy is an adorable “regular” on the show, always stopping in for a burger. Teddy asks the family for a little help when his family decides to do Thanksgiving at his house. Boy, oh boy did Teddy get more than what he asked for. This is a super funny and full-hearted episode to put you right in the holiday mood.

Season 9- Thanksgiving Episode 7 Titled “I Bob Your Pardon”

Why do I love the Mayor so much? Because its the Ma-ya THE MA-YA! Linda’s obsession with the Mayor leads the family on a unbelievable wild goose hunt, or turkey hunt. The family attends the towns first turkey pardoning and of course there are some E-Mayorgencies. This episode kind of misses the mark with me as a holiday episode, but there are some great times with Linda. #mayorstomachproblems

Season 10- Thanksgiving Episode 8 Titled “Now We’re Not Cooking with Gas”

It wouldn’t be a Thanksgiving episode without one of Bob’s classic grocery store freak outs. This year Bob got the call he’s waited too long for. We get to dive into how deep Bob’s love for Thanksgiving truly is when the block’s gas is out and he is forced to cook his famous dinner alternately. This one really melted my heart and reminded me how much family truly loves us. The support from family in your times of need, or when you might be being crazy, can go incredibly far.

Season 11- Thanksgiving Episode 7 Titled “Diarrhea of a Poopy Kid”

I have to admit, this one hurt my heart for Gene. I can not imagine loving food as much as Gene and not being able to eat on the one day a year about eating. To top things off Bob has gone overboard on trying new recipes and I am sure that apartment smelt amazing. I love these episodes when the family takes turns telling stories and we get to see the world through their imaginations.

Season 12- Thanksgiving Episode 8 Titled “Stuck in the Kitchen with You”

Alright moms reading this, time for us to admit that we can all be momsters in the kitchen. Your focusing on so many things, trying not to burn anything and you just need everyone to shut up and leave. I totally get it, poor Bob does not get it. Very rarely will we get to see Bob and Louis bump heads, but in this episode Bob is faced with the reminder that Thanksgiving is, at the end of the day, a holiday. A holiday meant to be slowed down and spent with family and doing the things you love. It doesn’t always have to be a huge rushed, anxiety fueled, insane time.

As we finalize plans this Thanksgiving I want us to all stop and take a few minutes to really soak it in. Times are so hard with the economy and Covid, we truly so have a ton to be grateful for right now. Stop and think about how it could ALWAYS be worse. Like a sweet potato casserole it may not always come out pretty or be your idea of perfect, but when you look around at the people who you have and the roof over your head you will feel perfect in your heart.

Or you can always just get drunk and say “FUCK IT”. Sometimes family sucks. Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Belchies! I love you and I want you to know that you reading this right now is why I am thankful. Your support and views help me and support my dreams everyday. Now go watch Bob’s.

What’s Up Wednesday 5/19

How are you doing on this great Wednesday, my Hippies? I hope you have had a good week since the last time we talked. I have been super busy, working hard for you guys to list new products in my Etsy shop. If you did not catch my last What’s Up Wednesday blog you can catch that down below.

What’s up Wed 5/12

This week I have been more busy with personal things. My kids have had some minor appointments and more serious ones. I got some unfortunate medical news this week and I took it kinda hard. I hate that my instincts are to immediately just panic and think the worse. I always think about the worst possible situation even if I know ifs not even close to that bad. The old me would have just kept it all inside and dealt with it on my own terms. The new me is talking to people I trust about it. I have also been making sure that I take my anxiety meds. The combination has made it all manageable. I know I am not the only mom having a hard time with medical diagnosis for our kids. I can’t be. I know I am not. Comment please and let me know if you have ever been here and how you dealt with it. I could really use some tips and support. I love you guys so much.    

This week I planned on making and listing some organic lotion and kids masks. I bought a pack of 90’s cartoon SVG’s or images to make and put on the masks. I was so excited to work on these, but it was like everything was against me. I know you have tried to do something and it feels like the universe is trying to stop you by making everything go wrong. I had to order a ton of white iron-on vinyl when I realized that I had nowhere near enough. The blade to my Cricut crapped out on me. To be fair, it’s been like 3 years and I have never changed the blade. Don’t judge, we are not here to judge. So I couldn’t be too mad that I had to order and wait for a new blade to come in, but it was super inconvenient for my orders that were due this week. 

I really truly believe that if you do not slow down and make time for yourself the universe will make time for you. The week before I was feeling very manic, so I was just working and working and crafting and working. The universe was like “nope. Make her machine and supplies crap out”. I kinda appreciate it universe. 

I have exactly 5 weeks until the town I live in is having a big festival and I will be doing a craft booth there. My town has two big festivals every year but for like 2 years now we haven’t been able to do them because of Covid. This year they think it will be safe enough to have it. This is a great opportunity for small business owners, like me. I have been planning and planning for this for a week or so now. I am not trying to release too many details until I am sure those are the plans. The city hasn’t released a ton of info yet so I still have a few questions. I did want to just let yall know that some Pop-Up Shops will be coming next month.  

Well I guess that is it for this What’s Up Wednesday. Thank you so much for taking your time and reading along with me. I am really starting to feel like yall are my family. I love checking in with you guys and seeing what yall have to say. It has become really therapeutic for me. I love you guys so much and I hope you have a beautiful day.

What’s up Wed 5/12

How are you on this fine day my Hippies? I hope you have had a good week since the last time we talked. I have been super busy, working hard for you guys and mothers day. If you did not catch my last What’s Up Wednesday blog you can catch that down below.

What’s Up Wed 5/5

This week I plan on making and listing some organic lotion and kids masks. I bought a pack of 90’s cartoon SVG’s or images to make and put on the masks. I am pretty excited because looking through the image is like a blast from the past, and the shop gave me 3 free images so I can’t wait to open them up and see what I got. I hate buying big lots of images off of Etsy because they usually only show you a few of them and then it’s a huge surprise what else you get. I just wanna see everything before I buy! Purchases are the one area of life I don’t really want a surprise, I kinda want those to be cut and dry, black and white. 

I was at Wal-Mart buying a mothers day gift for my mother in law and I happened to find a huge sale on blank black kids masks. They were insanely cheap so I grabbed only 6 packs, then 10 packs, then I couldn’t leave the last few there all alone, so I ended up buying all 19 packs. I felt like a crazy lady walking up to the register with arms full of discount masks. I am unsure of the exact number of masks I ended up buying, but my shop is about to be FULL of masks! I am making some 90’s cartoon ones, anime and maybe some Nightmare Before Christmas masks as well. 

I have exactly 6 weeks until the town I live in is having a big festival and I will be doing a craft booth there. My town has two big festivals every year but for like 2 years now we haven’t been able to do them because of Covid. This year they think it will be safe enough to have it.

What’s Up Wed 5/5

What is up my Hippies? I hope you have had a good week since the last time we talked. I definitely have. I have been a little more busy. If you did not catch my last What’s Up Wednesday blog you can catch that down below.

What’s Up Wednesday 4/28/2020

This week I have been trying to balance working hard with taking breaks for my mental health. I can burn myself out if I don’t get out of the house and focus on me sometimes. It is insane how much just going to a park will bring my mood up and lower my stress. I just love to get out of the house, I don’t know why. Are you like that? If I don’t get out of the house at least once a day I get stir crazy, I am sure I am not the only one.

This week I got a few new orders, which is so exciting and I am so grateful for. I am also focusing on my 31 Days of May Challenge, I am trying to post once a day all month to just try and let you guys know more about me. It sounds so easy to commit to posting once a day, but some days it can be a little harder than others. There is a few things in life that sound so easy ha!

Other than work I have been planning my son’s birthday party, we decided on Ghostbusters theme. I am so excited to decorate this party. I have started ordering a few decorations off of Etsy and Amazon and the are so cool already. My son likes the coolest stuff and I love that I get to decorate for it. I still need to order a few more plain colored things and his jumpsuit. I am trying to find one that is blank so I can put his name on it, but I have a feeling I will just have to order one with the Ghostbusters name on it. Its not that big of a deal, he will love it no matter what. My son is a very grateful, easy going little guy.

Well I guess that is it for this What’s Up Wednesday. Thank you so much for taking your time and reading along with me. I am really starting to feel like yall are my family. I love checking in with you guys and seeing what yall have to say. It has become really therapeutic for me. I love you guys so much and I hope you have a beautiful day.

What is up my Hippies? I hope you have had a good week since the last time we talked. I definitely have. I have been a little more busy. If you did not catch my last What’s Up Wednesday blog you can catch that down below.

What’s Up Wednesday 4/21

First off, Happy 4/20!! I hope you had a great one? If you did let me know by commenting down below. I would love to hear how you celebrated the holiday. Man, we celebrated two holidays since the last time we tackled. Happy Earth Day as well. I did not do anything for Earth day or 4/20, which is weird since I always celebrate Earth Day. I just got really busy working on making product to list in my Etsy shop. I will post the link to my Etsy shop if you want to go check out the new items.

For right now I am making all kinds of stuff, but Bob’s Burger stuff is my favorite thing to make. I ordered some plastic grinders this week and I absolutely love them. I haven’t seen such a good, cheap grinder. They even have a little magnet inside to keep them together. Very rarely do you buy something online and it surprises you with how well it’s made. I was really happy with that purchase, and even more excited to list them for you. 

Other than work, my home life has been pretty great. My daughter recently wanted to shave her legs, and that threw me through a loop. I really wasn’t expecting that, it kinda got me down thinking about how she’s growing up. I am sure all mothers have that moment when you realize “oh they really growing up now”. I feel a lot better now. A good friend of mine was like “just take it as a way to do more, different, fun things with her”. I remembered when I first found out she was a girl I was so excited to do her makeup and hair and paint her nails, I just had to add shaving to that list. If you have gone through this with your kids and would like to share your experiences please feel free to comment and let me know. Your stories really make me feel better. 

Well I guess that is it for this What’s Up Wednesday. Thank you so much for taking your time and reading a long with me. I am really starting to feel like yall are my family. I love checking in with you guys and seeing what yall have to say. It has become really therapeutic for me. I love you guys so much and I hope you have a beautiful day.

What’s Up Wednesday 4/21

What is up my Hippies? It has been quite a while since ya girl has posted and caught you up on what this Hippy has been doing. 

Here is the blog from last Wednesday is you wanted to catch up on that info

What’s Up Wednesday 12/29/2020

https://www.etsy.com/HippyWifeCrafts/listing/927221042/hippy-goldsilver-adult-chain-bumble-bee?utm_source=Copy&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1610654022140

I apologize for being absent for a while.Texas went through a major snow storm. We were stuck in the house for like a freaking week! I just got really down. I had no motivation, and it lasted. It has freaking lasted too long. If you are not a regular on my blog, I suffer from depression. It is something I openly talk about in hope that I can maybe help one person feel less alone in the battle. I had gotten a message from someone from another country wanting to order some masks, but there was no way I could fulfil the order. It really upset me. Someone said something ugly about my background. I haven’t made any videos because of this. I laid around and was just sad. 

One day I got up and refused to let it stop me from doing something. I focused on just one task that I have been wanting to accomplish. My car. I have been really wanting to take care of my car. Inside and out, I have kinda let it go. So I got a car wash and put so many fluids in my car. All of the fluids. I cut out some stickers and decorated the sides. I now feel a lot better than I normally do. I am proud of myself. 

Tomorrow I plan on listing some Bob’s Burgers masks that I have been working on. I have also made some Bob’s Burgers herb or tobacco grinders that I want to list. I am making a lot of Bob’s Burgers items lately, I guess because it makes me happy.  

I have also been wanting to make something to improve my product pictures. I haven’t been so happy with them. The lighting is just so hard for me to get right. If you have any tips, they would be greatly appreciated if you would comment them down below. Please and Thank you!! 

That is it for today my Hippies. I love and thank you all so much. Every single one of you that reads my blogs, like or subscribes to my posts, you are the bestest. Down below is the link to my FaceBook page

What’s Up Wednesday 1/20/2021

What is up my Hippies? Man, it has been a week for me. I have been pretty busy this week with kids appointments, mailing packages, my car not working, just so much so let’s just jump on in.
First, I did want to let you Hippies know about my giveaway. I have been doing a giveaway a week for the past two weeks, this will be the third and final week. So if you have been living under a rock and have not already entered I will post the link down below. This weeks giveaway is for any of my HippyLife jewelry pieces. I wanted to let you guys pick which one you wanted. So far I have a beautiful Bumble Bee necklace that is meant to be worn as a conversation piece to raise awareness about the extinction of the bees, which we all know is mandatory for human survival. Next I have a silver Dragon’s Foot Ear clip. When I ordered these I was worried about the clip being too tight and hurting my ear, but there is a soft padded thing in the clip and it doesn’t close down too hard so you can’t even tell its there once you have it on. Finally, I have a cute little Peace is Pretty anklet, its blue with gold outline and I think it gives off a cute little Hippy vibe. I always wear a anklet, like for years now. Right now I have on a blue string sea turtle anklet, but I think its time for me to switch it up to the peace sign. These are all of the options you can choose from if you win the giveaway this week. Once again, I will post the link to enter the giveaway as well as the link to order your HippyLife jewelry down below.
Other than my weekly giveaway and listing all of the jewelry on Etsy, I have been working really super hard to get rid of my “death pile”. This is a like, business/seller term that I just learned about, all it is is a pile of crap that you have bought and never crafted, never listed online, never did anything with it and now its just sitting there in a pile somewhere saying “feed me Seymore”. I knew I had this pile, of crafts that never got crafted, I just never knew it had a term until I was watching a YouTube video on like “top 10 tips to help your business”. The lady said that its an awful habit that can really hurt your business and it made sense. If your buying something your spending money on it, letting it sit there and not doing anything with it is kinda like loosing money. So this week I have been determined to get my “death pile” out of my craft drawers and onto Etsy. So far it is slow going, just because its a lot to craft, but the good thing is that all of that crap has been sitting there for so long I already know what I want to with it, so there’s no creative process that needs to happen just me getting up and doing it. I will say that I am pleasantly surprised about the outcome. I have completed 3 crafts and listed them on just Facebook, not even Etsy and they sold in less than 24 hours. This is for sure going to be a tip that I am going to try and burn into my brain, to always take care of my “death pile” because it WILL make me money.
Other than my HippyLife Crafts stuff, my kids just had like a ton of appointments today and I don’t know why, but it just drains me. Driving all around, getting in and out of the car with kids, driving back into town, it’s just a lot sometimes. Where we live unfortunately doesn’t have a lot of doctors and specialists, so we have to drive out of town for almost all of our appointments. I am just glad that my car is good on gas. Speaking of my car, it has been being a butt lately. I call my car “the mom machine” just FYI. That his name, just go with it. The mom machine will just randomly not start and I’ve Google’d and YouTube’d and had people look at it, they have hooked it up to fancy machine and ran tests on it, no one can seem to figure out why it does that. As of right now, it is starting just fine, so I guess I’ll just keep going until it doesn’t start again and then put it in a shop. I just need time to figure out rides for the kids school and stuff while it’s gone. It be aight. I’m not too worried about it. I do need The Mom Machine to mail off your packages, and do all my good stuff for this page and all of my other pages doe.
Next week I will put out my regular “What’s Up Wednesday’s” for you guys, but there will not be a giveaway, I’m sorry. It is my daughter’s birthday next week, silent mom tear, and I will just be too busy with that to do a giveaway. There are times when every working person needs to take a step back and focus on family, I know you guys understand. Thank you guys for understanding.
That is it for this weeks “What’s Up Wednesday”. I hope you enjoyed reading and I will have all of the links I mentioned up there down below so you guys can go and check out that good good. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to stop and read, it means to much to me that you did. I hope that you enter the HippyLife Crafts jewelry giveaway, and I hope you win! I love you Hippies so much. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay beautiful ya’ll.

What’s Up Wednesday 1/13/2021

What is up my Hippies? I can not be the only one that is super duper hype that 2020 is over, like I just cant be. Please comment down below and let this Hippy know how happy you are that the train wreck that was 2020 is over. I really can’t wait to read some of these comments, they are always super funny. 

I know I haven’t done my normal “What’s up Wednesday’s” in a couple weeks and I do want to apologize. I mentioned in my last blog that Christmas was kinda hard on me. I got really down and it is normal for people to feel more down or depressed in December, around the holidays. If you missed that blog I will post the link to it down below. Since then, New Years happened and while I am happy to start a new year, I can’t help but still feel a little fear about what is to come. The world is kinda crazy right now with the Corona Virus going around and getting worse, politics are just insane right now, financially people are not doing good, it is all just a little overwhelming. BUT, but we can not think like that and give into those negative thoughts. With a New Year there are all sorts of new possibilities that can happen and I don’t want to just think about the bad ones or the ones that make me uncomfortable. I am going to choose to think about all of the good possibilities like for this blog, for my crafts business and for myself. That’s the kind of energy that I want to put out into the universe. 

I do want to take a second and mention that if you have been feeling down, sad, or depressed that is totally normal, especially for this time of year. December is the worse month for depression and suicide. So if you or someone you love is feeling like this there are a ton of people you can talk to about this for absolutely FREE. Do not be ashamed, I am not ashamed to admit that I have used these free lines a couple times in my life and they always make me feel better. Its %100 confidential and you can hang up at any time if you don’t like it. Here are some links to some places that you can call and get some help or just talk to someone.

It snowed on Sunday this week and that really was a first for me. Being from texas for most of my life, I really haven’t been around any snow, but this was like snow. Like it was full on snowing in Texas, it was insane. My car was covered in all beautiful white snow. It was gorgeous, until the next day when it all started melting and then there was so much mud and it was super slippery. My daughter and I tried to make a snowman, but she was super impatient and just smashed it halfway through. Oh well, at least she had fun. I also stepped in some yellow snow a neighborhood dog left in our yard, so that was another first for me. 

Yesterday I released a beautiful piece of jewelry into the shop. It is a beautiful bumble bee necklace. I wanted to pick jewelry that had some sort of meaning or purpose and this bee necklace is just that. When I wear my bee necklace I want people to see it and ask about it, like they normally do, so I can bring up that the bees are going extinct at an alarming rate. We really need change our ways and start working towards preserving their homes and not killing them because we are afraid of them. I did a ton of research about bees so when you order the necklace you will also receive a little card with great facts to bring up in conversation. I am hoping by selling these necklaces this will spread the word and hopefully make even the tiniest impact on our planet’s bees. Without bees we all go extinct and no one wants that.

What’s Up Wednesday 12/29/2020

What is up my Hippies? I am hoping you have had a great holiday. Whether you followed social distancing or not, I hope everyone got to see their family somehow. I spent my Christmas with my in-laws. They were very kind to invite me to their Christmas celebration. I got a beautiful new wallet, I was literally just complaining about how the wallet I have now is not big enough. 

So, coming up this week I will be listing new items in my online shop as well as Etsy. I know I recently complained about how I was not liking Etsy, but they did get me some sales. As of right now, personal custom orders have been my main source of orders. Etsy coming in second and my online store coming in last. If you have any tips as to maybe why my online store is not picking up, comments would be very much appreciated. Either way, new jewelry is coming your way. 

One of the items that will be added to the collection has a very special meaning to me. I feel very passionate about the near extinction of bees. If you don’t know, why would you, I am deathly allergic to bees so a lot of people are like “why care, they can kill you”. None of that matters. Bees are so super duper important to the earth and our lives. If you haven’t looked into this topic I will be talking more about facts and statistics so you can educate yourself, in the video introducing the necklace. I know I have said a lot about bees just now and that is because I am adding a beautiful bee necklace to my collection this week. I want my pieces to spark conversations about important topics. The idea is that when someone comments on your beautiful necklace you can say “oh thank you, I bought it from HippyLife Crafts. Did you know that the bees are near extinction?” and then it will go on from there and then that person will tell someone and then before you know it, boom. We saved the bees! 

I am totally kidding, but like how cool would that bee? Ha ha get it? 

I know I am very punny. 

I have been feeling some seasonal depression. If you are not aware, seasonal depression is a wave of depression that super smart scientists have noticed happens around the holidays. Its insanely high in December in America. Knowing this, I am not really alarmed, this holiday season is really hard without traveling and not seeing family. I mention this because I want anyone to know these facts. I believe it is super important to speak up for mental health to help end the stigma. I was under the impression that I was odd and the only one that had these problems for years. Once I started getting help and talking to people about it I learned that it is super normal. If you are having some down times or bad thoughts you can always get 24/7 help from the link down below
