We just returned from a very comfy Thanksgiving roadtrip to Tennessee, thanks to Chevrolet and the 2012 Suburban. I tried out a 2011 Suburban last year (and wrote about it here) and there weren’t any huge changes between the two years so we had to get creative for my recap post. My seventeen-year-old son J and I decided to spotlight our favorite roadtrip features of the Suburban. It’s FANTASTIC for roadtrips, and I’m guessing tailgate parties too, and even…clubbing. You’ll see. I am very appreciative to J for helping me out with this one. He rocks!

A Thanksgiving Love Letter
I hope you enjoy this month’s thankful-themed contribution to Hallmark’s “Life Is A Special Occasion” campaign! Let me know in the comments who YOU’RE thankful for! As I have extensively documented here on Suburban Scrawl, I live a very full, blessed life. Though I know I make most of the choices that pertain to me and thus can claim lots of credit for the various things that happen in my life, I am well aware of the help I receive from others along the way: we don’t go through life alone. This month, Hallmark asked me to express my thanks to someone special, someone who has had an impact on…

Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Bow Ties Can Now Be Your Bow Ties.
Remember back in September, how I told you that J’s workplace (The Tie Bar) has partnered with Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his fiancee Justin Mikita, who founded an organization called Tie The Knot? I told you that Jesse was designing some bow ties and they would be sold through The Tie Bar, with all proceeds being donated to Tie The Knot in support of marriage equality. Heck, just read the post, which includes Jesse and Justin’s adorable promo video. ANYWAY, the launch party was in Los Angeles last night and it looks like it was quite the event. The founders of The Tie Bar (i.e. J’s bosses) were there, and…

Coca Cola Freestyle -ing It.
As a long-time soda/pop/Coke drinker (don’t judge), I have always been partial to products from the Coca Cola company. Even though I am being given a gift card by Coca Cola to write this post, I have no problem sharing with you that when I worked at McDonald’s while I was in high school, the New Coke controversy was going on and not only was it hilarious to have customers asking if we had New Coke or “Old” Coke in our machines–and then be furious when they found out we stocked New Coke–but it was also personally thrilling when Classic Coke was reintroduced and New Coke went bye-bye. (Sorry, Coca…
