between friends Gratitude with Easy Attitude November arrives with a focus on all things Better Homes and Gardens ®: food, family, fun, and the home that brings them together. Early in the month, we soak up the last days of autumn outdoor living; by the fourth Thursday, all eyes turn toward the holidays. For me, Thanksgiving is the perfect gateway to the holidays. It begins with bringing the t he people I love to the table for a feast that’s always familiar, yet never the same twice. From there, it’s a long weekend of improvised fun. Why fret a schedule? Football, shopping, backyard games—the less structure, the more we enjoy it all. The only tricky part is making sure the host-in-chief is able to join in, so this issue approaches Thanksgiving with a simple philosophy: Keep it relaxed. • Our holiday menu (“Early Bird,” page 106 ) fully embraces the virtues of make-ahead, with dishes that you can prepare weeks in advance and that are genuinely easy to pull together. Our menu-maker is Faith Durand of thekitchn.com, who brings a bright, contemporary touch to feast-day favorites. • “Serve Up the Best Thanksgiving Weekend” (page 55) offers helpful—and playful—ideas playful —ideas for moms and others hosting family for a four-day stretch. Easy snacks, laid-back games, niceties for guest rooms; we’ve got it covered. • And for an extra serving of desserts, Joy Wilson, aka Joy the Baker, drops in with scrumptious scr umptious pumpkin ideas (“Easy (“Eas y Holiday Baking,” page 124). While Whi le I’ve never completely mastered the art of stress-free hosting, hosti ng, every year yea r I make progress, as I grant myself permission to keep it a little simpler. To assign tasks and ask for help. To remember that the real star of the holiday is gratitude. And at long last to accept that one kind k ind of potatoes is probably enough. Wishing you a happy and a nd relaxed Thanksgiving. Thank sgiving.

WHY IT’S FABULOUS After cooking and blogging her way through the entire Momofuku Momofuku cookbook, Stephanie Le kicked off her second blog, I Am a Food Blog, where she shares original recipes, tips from her kitchen, and a humorous take on her love for food.

KEEP IT SIMPLE When it comes to ingredients, Stephanie likes to stick to the basics and cites eggs as a favorite (along with cheese and potatoes). To keep her recipes accessible, she opts for pantry classics and easy-to-fi easy-to-find nd ingredients.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND Recipes like Caramelized Pork Tacos, Banh Mi Fries, and Crab Rangoon Deviled Eggs make I Am a Food Blog a savory haven. Many of Stephanie’s recipes, like her one-of-a-kind grilled cheese, combine comfort food and Asian flavors.

SEE HER IN ACTION Beyond the blog, Stephanie has filled her new book, Easy Gourmet , with more delicious recipes. She’ll also share her own spin on a classic BHG recipe on our Delish Dish blog. BHG.com/NovBlog Q

CHEESE TOPPERS Dollops of chutney, jam, jam, or honey are easy add-ons to pair with crackers and cheese.

ROGUE CREAMERY

AT HOME WITH David Gremmels, artisanal cheese maker and co-owner of Rogue Creamery. PARTY PLAN A cheese tasting should be a casual affair where guests feel comfortable trying a bit of everything. “A robust spread encourages a sense of discovery when pairing cider and cheese,” David says. “I like to serve two varieties—cheddar and blue— to highlight how contrasting flavors pair with a variety of ciders.” HOUSE SPECIALTY Make popcorn a part of the spread with David’s signature mix. Toss hot popcorn with dried blueberries and cranberries, a few roasted hazelnuts, and Rogue’s Blue Heaven powdered blue cheese. Yes, please!

Cider selects “Cider and cheese pairings are an opportunity to showcase local flavors,” David says. “Regional ciders are popping up all over the country.” Below are his picks for an Oregon cider and a more widely available national variety—a perfect start to your own spread.

ROGUE � HOP CIDER Full of the hoppy flavor of an IPA beer, this cider showcases the richness in Rogue Creamery’s Rogue River Blue or other creamy blue cheeses with a subtle nutty flavor. HONEY CRISP CRISPIN A small-batch, unfiltered cider made from a blend of three to five varietals. Honey adds a rich and creamy finish. Pair with a favorite creamy cheddar like Rogue’s Mt. Mazama.

CENTER OF ATTENTION Inspired by rich autumn hues and seasonal plants, event designer Matthew Rob Robbins bins whips whi ps up a lush, make-ahe make-ahead ad cen centerpi terpiece ece for the big day and beyond. KALE FORCE

Long-lasting ornamental kale “blooms” are the drama queens of this arrangement.

These pinktinged ruffles are ornamental oregano.

Table stunner You can’t beat this: You this: a gorg gorgeous eous centerpiec centerpiece e you can arrange days before guests arrive, and keep well after they’re gone. Matthew started with a trip to his local garden shop for ornamental oregano and kale. He filled a copper planter with well-soaked floral foam, placed the kale stems first, then filled in with clusters of oregano, purple basil, rosemary, and sprigs of viburnum berries. “Left as is, this will dry beautifully over time,” Matthew says. “Just add fresh blooms for the occasional punch of color, like right before a party.” 22

“The first ingredient in Ginger’s ‘big name’ cat food wasn’t even real meat.

So I switched her to BLUE.” When pet parents learn the truth about some of the ingredients in their “big name” cat food, they switch to Blue Buffalo. Each and every BLUE food contains only the highest quality natural ingredients with real meat first. And we never use any chicken (or poultry) by-product meals—because that’s not something we’d ever want to feed a family member.           %$ '&% '&% &%# %$ #& ('$ ('$## (' ('&(& &(&##      (! (!&$ &$ & &(&$ (&$ % '( '(##      (! (!&$ &$ %#(" %#("(% (%#'(! #'(!  (& (&"' "'!& !& (#$     %$ !(!& "' "#' '"!# &%$   %$ %'#((!(% !""'$ %"'$ "' '&$&'%#(&$   %$ !"' &%# "' $"

Touches of nature thread through this home, from the wreath on the front door to the John Muir tribute print in this snug little nook off the kitchen. When son Bryan and the rest of the gang come over, homeowner John Toskovich loves to take a seat under the branches and share a story with granddaughter Kinzley. A ring of club chairs in place of a sofa lets face-to-face conversation flow.

Ever Ev eryy day should be as relaxed and casual as a day at the beach. That’s what Lynne Toskovich thought as she and husband John downsized to a home in the D.C. suburbs. “We wanted the welcoming feel of a casual beach house, where everyone can come and go, in a package appropriate to this area,” Lynne says. “It couldn’t literally be a beach house plopped down in the middle of McLean, Virginia.” That’s where designer Lauren Liess came in. She used natural elements like seagrass rugs and matchstick shades to bring in the easy eas y and breezy without any coastal clichés. Nature also colored the palette: Blue and white speak to a seaside look in a soft way, mixed with sophisticated clay and sand hues, along with a bit of fresh yellow. Sink-in soft furnishings invite catching up with a good book—or each other—on couple’s nights, and they’re equally welcoming to company. “It’s our new tradition to have the kids and grandkids over for Sunday dinner,” Lynne says. While one group gathers around the kitchen island, expect a board game to break out in the living room. This house caters to it all. “It’s so laid-back,” Liess says. “It’s a place where everyone is comfortable.”

A BIT OF THE BEACH

Prints of dried seaweed play to the subtle coastal vibe.

Great natural light and stay-awhile furniture make the living room Lynne Toskovich’s favorite spot in the house.

PRESTO!

Wedgewood Gray HC-146 Benjamin Moore

The kitchen, left, in the 10-year-old home got a facelift with fresh paint on existing cabinets, plus new soapstone counters, hardware, and lighting. The office spot, below, has its own identity with white cabinets, rather than the work zone’s blue-gray. Paperwork is stowed discreetly behind closed doors— and there’s still space for overflow dishware and linens.

A kitchen for two— or the whole family has work space on one side, barstool seating on the other. It’s Lynne and John’s favorite table for two. But there’s also plenty of room for son Matthew and his wife Noelle, above, to help Lynne with prep for family dinners. Other times, it’s a craft and coloring zone for the grandkids, including little Clive. A VERSATILE ISLAND

was high on Lynne’s wish list. Designer Lauren Liess carved a space for “command central,” right, from a wall of cabinetry on one side of the kitchen, just outside the cooking zone. Magnetic chalkboard paint makes it easy for Lynne to remember when to pick up which kiddo and what she needs to grab for the Sunday meal. Daughter Amanda likes to help Lynne with the decorating, too. She refinished the vintage chair and made a new seat cover from an old flour sack. Q A HARDWORKING OFFICE SPOT

“I wanted a lawn,” Trigg says. And he got it. “It takes three to five minutes to mow.” ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

An unsightly garage. Landscape architect Doug Hoerr transformed it from eyesore to asset.

BIG BANG THEORY

Orange-berried Pyracantha branches make a quick and dramatic centerpiece.

PUT A GRID ON IT

A sim simpl ple, e, modern trellis supports clematis and changes the character of the garage.

A long list of gotta-haves came to light w hen Kim and Trigg Thorstenson envisioned a dream backyard for their urban Chicago home. “They wanted it all,” says landscape designer Doug Hoerr of Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Landsca pe Architects, of the 1,80 0-squarefoot yard. “A place for dining, cooking, hanging out, a fire pit, a lawn, plantings, privacy.” That was a tall order for the small lot, especially because the narrow yard was flanked by a plain metal garage. “Doug walked around our yard with a can of spray paint” and drew a picture of the family’s wish list, Kim says. When he came to the garage, he saw potential. Hoerr recommended recasting the structure into a starring role by changing the flat roofline and sprucing up the facade with wide double doors and a trellis, which would turn the back of the building into an inviting inviti ng second entry. “The plan opened up the small yard to a host of entertaining possibilities,” Hoerr says. For big gatherings, or in inclement weather, the party can migrate into the covered space. Hoerr worked with associate Abigail Baldwin to divide the rest of the yard into separate use areas—dining, fire pit, lounging,

play. The design deliberately uses u ses (and repeats) a limited palette of materials. Any more would risk creating chaos. “Gravel is relaxed—like a French park,” Hoerr says. It’s also budget-friendly and practical to maintain. “Reclaimed old brick brings in warmth. The plantings soften and add romance. And the lawn adds a green focal point.” “We love eating outside,” Kim says. The boys (Rome, 11, and Bo, 9) are especially fond of roasting marshmallows over the fire. The lawn is sized just right for pitching a tent or tossing a ball. Redesigned for their lives, the space checks off everything on the family’s backyard backya rd bucket list. ��

A reconfig ured roofline, contrasting metal trellis, and Dutch stable doors, above, transformed a standard-issue metal garage into a cool courtyard asset.

LIVING LARGE IN A SMALL SPACE Here’s how landscape architect s Doug Hoerr and Abigail Baldwin stretched a tiny city lot. DIVIDE AND CONQUER Vignettes make a small area

feel bigger. “Breaking the landscape down moves the eye from space to space,” Hoerr says. CREATE ORDER IN THE COURTYARD

“A small space has to have order,” order,” Hoerr says. In this design, each area has a purpose, much like rooms in a house. Changes in surfaces define areas for dining, playing, and relaxing. MINIMIZE MATERIALS “We used just four materials:

brick, gravel, sod, and plants,” Hoerr says. “They identify yet unify the space.”

Emily Henderson DAY JOB Designer JOB Designer in Los Angeles; host of Secrets of a Stylist; Target Home Style Expert. KEEP IT CURRENT “Warm tones of orange can easily take a retro turn,” Emily says. “To keep your orange shades fresh and modern, pair with cooler colors like dark charcoals and deep blues.” IN GOOD COMPANY “To create a larger color story, use multiple tones of persimmon rather than one specific shade. Mixing deeper and lighter shades helps tone down the individual shades and makes it easier for the eye to understand the palette as a whole.” STRIKE A BALANCE “If you’re attracted to deeper shades of persimmon, pull back on the volume of use, especially if you want your room to feel bigger. Bring bold oranges in through accessories or a rich accent wall, and use lighter shades more libera lly. lly.””

house of

blues A mere pop of color wasn’t going to cut it for this vibrant family family.. Their place is traditional, yes, but life here is all about energy—the three teens, two dogs kind of energy. “Sure, a beige sofa with bright pillows is great,” designer Karen Bow says. “But going beyond the expected expe cted is better. Why not make your home tru ly yours? Be brave! Start Star t with something you love and build.” In this Connecticut home, the beloved “something” was a rug. A robin’s-egg blue and black rug that Kelly Wheeler couldn’t wait to give an unfurling shove across her dining room floor. Turns out, the unfurling was pretty lifechanging. It inspired the ka-pow of color that threads through every room. Along with robin’s-egg, Bow layered in a full range of blues: ethereal in subway tiles on the k itchen backsplash, ocean-inspired on the t he family room sofa, bright on sunburst mirror frames, inky on striped draperies. “They’re different shades of blue, but because they ’re all in the same color family, fam ily, they work together just like neutrals,” Bow says. “They flow.” That flow—a comfortable, cohesive feel— was vital in i n this sociable home, designed with an open floor plan pla n that keeps Kelly, her husband, and their kids connected, even when they’re doing their own thing.

Here’s a twist: Traditional-style chairs are black rather than wood-tone, and the the dining table is cleanlined, white, and modern.

WARM FRONT

Natural stone brings rich sand tones to the fireplace surround.

“Nothing’s too formal,” Kelly says. “It’s all about being together, having fun. I’m glad Karen pushed me to young it up and go with fresh design ideas.” The hardest sell? Giving black a big presence in the palette of blues and classic neutrals. “Karen had to work to convince me to go with black on the stairway,” Kelly says. “I’m glad I listened to her. The black balusters are amazing. a mazing. And I love how they tie to the other touches of black, especially in the dining room.” Black gives the sophistication. “It puts an edge into the pretty,” Bow says. “It makes a traditional farmhouse feel modern without bringing in i n any industrial elements.” Working together, all the surpr ising touches of color give the Wheelers the young traditional home they wanted. “I love all of it,” Kelly says. And that’s one thing about t his house that’s not surprising, Bow says: “I always tell people ‘Work from your heart, and you’ll love it in the end.’”

“Simply White by Benjamin Moore. That’s the white I used here. There are no undertones. It’s clear, clean. It moves well with the time of day. day.”” GO�TO HUE

“Go oldschool when you plan a furniture arrangement. Tape everything out. This house looked like a furniture crime scene, but it worked.” BEST ADVICE

Can you pair white and beige? “That’s the question people always ask me,” designer Karen Bow says. “As this living room proves, the answer is yes. They’re both neutrals, so they work great together. And here, the hits of blue add life.”

WOW FACTOR

The back of the glass counter and backsplash backsp lash was wa s painted blue for big impact. A versatile butler’s pantry, left, can be set up for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or a buffet. It’s tucked neatly between the dining room and the kitchen, above, where wenge wood on the island top continues the thread of black.

Blue notes—and traffic—flow easily from the kitchen to the breakfast area and family room, opposite. A chandelier is both traditional (with a classic shape) and modern (with a chrome fin ish). It adds sparkle even when the lights are off.

“Everyone loves a white kitchen. Begin there, and then throw in a surprise—even surprise—even if it’ss just a hint of color in it’ the backsplash tile.”

Karen Bow, designer

t

he kitchen remodel in Melissa Michaels’ Bremerton, Washington, house wasn’t w asn’t so much about what she took out; it was about what she brought in: charm, personality, and one smart fix to the floor plan. “It took me a couple of years to realize why the layout wasn’t working,” Melissa says. A peninsula t hat housed the dishwasher trapped guests and cooks in a corner. “We could not have two people working at the same time,” Melissa says. Turns out that cabinet section gave only the illusion of usable storage. When Melissa removed the slacker and added a new cabinet to the right of the sink, she gained great party flow and six valuable drawers. The new setup inspired her to remove cabinets from the range and sink walls, adding to the room’s new airiness. Quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, and a modest island—all in shades of white—further freshened up the space without requiring reconstruction. In fact, most of Melissa’s changes gave the kitchen new style and function with minimal makeover mess. Here are 10 ways to update what you have.

��

SCOUT IT OUT

DO YOUR HOMEWORK

SET UP A CONSULTATION

Spot a woman at your local drugstore with amazing hair? Ask her for a referral. Another resource: the cosmetic counters at your local department stores, says Jet Rhys, a salon owner in San Diego. “Those makeup artists are like your concierge for beauty—they know who’s who in the industry,” she says.

Once you have a few names, see what local beauty bloggers and previous clients are saying about the stylists and salons, Rhys says. Yelp and Citysearch are also rife with customer reviews.

“Instead of jumping right into a cut, carve out some time to see if you mesh with the stylist,” says David Barron, a salon owner in Atlanta. Use the time to talk about your hair history, your budget, and how much time you have to devote to styling. Many salons offer face time gratis, but some might charge a small fee.

MOST COVETED CUTS A change will do you good. Check out this trio of chops:

THE CURLY LOB Short for “long bob,” the “lob” is already a go-to look for straight hair, but is now trending for curls, says Nunzio Saviano, a salon owner in NYC. Ask for a shoulder-length cut with long layers.

FULL�ON FRINGE This season’s bangs are longer on the sides than they are in the center, says Josué Perez, celebrity stylist for Rowenta Beauty. The look is full but soft. Watch our video to find the cut for you! THE BHG.com/ FaceShape “Just a little bit off the ends” or “long layers” might not mean the same thing to your stylist as it does to you. To head off a catastrophe, get a handle on the lingo:

TALK

THE LONG PIXIE “Short hair is huge for fall,” Rhys says. She calls this cropped cut a cross between a pixie and a shag: “long, full bangs, but shorter at the sides and nape.”

TALK

LAYERED Hair is snipped at different lengths throughout. Layers can be long (below the jawline), short (aka choppy), or graduated (stacked on top of each other).

BLUNT Ends are sliced straight across, which can make fine hair appear thicker.

TEXTURED This can refer to your hair type (wavy, curly), or it can be the result of a cutting technique that involves sculpting the ends of the hair, creating a tousled, piecey look.

GET A Picture-perfect? Not always. Here are the dos and don’ts for your pic picks: DO tear or print out your images. “We love pictures,” Rhys says. “We don’t love having to scroll through your camera roll or Pinterest boards on your phone—it cuts into your appointment time.” DON’T get caught up in a pretty face. Is it Halle Berry’s haircut that you want, or do you really just want to look like her? (Who doesn’t?) “When a client brings in a picture, I’ll put my thumb over the face and ask, ‘Do you still want this haircut?’” Barron says. Sometimes the answer is no. DO be realistic. If you have curly hair, a sleek bob is probably not the best cut for you. Choose pictures of women with a hair type and face shape that’s similar to yours. DON’T expect an exact replica. Your stylist should tweak the cut so it works for your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle.

MASTER THE LOOK AT HOME It happens all too often: You leave the salon with a swingy mane only to have your hair fall flat when you attempt to style it on your own. Make sure you know how to do your ’do with these tricks: Take a video Go ahead, whip out your smartphone. “Record what’s going on in the mirror,” Rhys says. You’ll get a step-by-step tutorial to watch in your bathroom. Go home with the goods “We don’t suggest you buy products because we’re greedy,” she says. “We do it because they work for your look.” If you can’t swing salon prices, ask for drugstore picks.

GREAT HAIR

GO�TOs

These new pro-approved formulas practically guarantee a good hair da y: Living Proof Instant Instant Texture Mist ($26; sephora.com) adds texture to layered cuts with magnetically charged platelets that create space between strands (think gently windblown). Herbal Essences Body Essences Body Envy Dry Shampoo ($5; drugstores) revives fine, flat strands by soaking up excess oil at your roots. John Frieda Frizz Ease Curl Reviver Mousse ($7; drugstores) defines curls without the crunch because the formula is alcohol-fre alcohol-free. e. L’Oréal Paris Paris Advanced Advanced Haircare Volume Filler Densifying Gelée ($6.99; drugstores) is a blow-dry gel that adds body and bounce, while plumping up each strand. Kérastase Laque Noire ($37; Kérastase Laque kerastase-usa.com) is an extrastrong-hold hairspray that leaves strands surprisingly soft to the touch—the perfect effect for a sleek, structured bob.

WHEN YOU’RE

NOT HAPPY... At the salon Don’t leave! “Give your stylist a chance to make it right,” Rhys says. Or see the manager or owner, who can make suggestions. At home If it’s been two to three days and you just can’t make your new s tyle work, go back to the salon.

LIVE WELL Smart strategies s trategies for a happy, healthy healthy life

A HEALTHIER WAY TO …

Order at a restaurant res taurant The average restaurant meal serves up a whopping 1,327 calories! Follow these tips from Tamara Melton, R.D.N., R.D.N., to dine out without filling out. DO SOME PREP WORK Before heading to the restaurant, check out the menu online. Many list nutritional information, so you can plan your picks accordingly. “Some healthy-sounding dishes, like turkey burgers, may contain a surprising amount of calories,” Melton says. AMP UP THE VEGGIES Research shows that starting with a salad can reduce the amount of calories you consume at the meal by up to 12 percent. Have a small, veggie-based salad with a spoonful of vinaigrette (skip croutons, cheese, and creamy dressing) or substitute greens for the starch in your entrée. BEWARE OF BUZZWORDS “Fried,” “smothered,” “creamy,” “creamy,” and “crispy” are red flags; they likely mean that a dish is heavy on oil, butter, or cheese. Stick with “grilled,” “broiled,” “broiled,” or “steamed,” but ask as k the waiter how it’s prepared. Grilled vegetables and meats might be finished with a pat of butter for flavor. You can request that they hold the butter or go light on the t he oil.

Money matters: Energy bill savers Dropping temps don’t have to mean soaring heating costs. Prep your home for winter weather with these simple steps.

Lower the thermostat Throw another blanket on your bed, and turn your thermost at down. Making it 10 to 15 degrees cooler while you sleep can save thermostat 5 to 15 percent a year on heating. heat ing.

Flip the switch on ceiling fans Most have a switch that changes the direction of air. In winter, winter, you want a fan spinning clockwise clockwi se on a low setting. This will create an updraft, which takes the warm air that rises to the ceiling and distributes it throughout the room.

Check for weather-stripping Even when doors and windows are closed, heat may be escaping. Close outside door s and windows on a piece of paper. If it can be pulled through without withou t a tear, then you probably need weather-stripping. weather-stripping. makin g the switch to Switch to LED holiday lights Chances are you’ve started making LED bulbs, but what about those holiday lights? Expert s estimate that it costs only 27¢ to 82¢ to light a 6-foot tree, 12 hour s a day for 40 days. Look for f or a store that offers a discount for trading in your incandescent light s. —Jeanette Pavini

Family time: Cooking to foster compassion

CHOOSE INDULGENCES WISELY Instead of mindlessly nibbling from the breadbasket, you can ask the waiter not to bring it out—or stick with one roll. Can’t pass up the molten chocolate cake?

When they moved to Toronto in 2008, they brought the program with them. Jill and fellow mom Julie Levin cofounded Kids Cook to Care.

KCTC has been so successful that it now offers a virtual program available worldwide (e-mail [email protected] for info).

3 new new wa ways ys to: Dodge diabetes

In honor of diabetes awareness month, try these easy tips to help lower your risk. You might lose a little weight, too!

ADD PROTEIN TO BREAKFAST Foods like eggs and yogurt help you stay fuller longer, and a recent University of Missouri study found that the more protein you eat at your a.m. meal, the better your blood sugar control. Eggs offer 6 g each; low-fat yogurt has 12 g per cup; and 2 Tbsp. of peanut butter gives you 8 g. KICK UP THE SPICE Season your dish with oregano and rosemary, and your taste buds might not be the only winners. These herbs contain compounds that might block a diabetes-related enzyme, according to a study in the Journa the Journall of of Agricultural Agricu ltural and Food Chemist Chemistry ry . PICK UP THE PACE Recent research reveals that interval walking is better at controlling blood sugar than a steady stroll. During your next walk, try alternating three minutes of going all-out with five minutes of a slower pace.

GRATITUDE Elizabeth Lombardo, Ph.D. Clinical psychologist and author of A Happy You. Find her at elizabethlombardo.com.

Notes of appreciation These books and movies illustrate the benefits of being grateful.

During the holidays, it’s easy to be grateful for family, friends, and everyth ever ything ing we have, but how do you you help kids give thanks tha nks year-round year-r ound?? Us Use e this age-by age-by-age -age guide as a starting point point.. teaching gratitude gratitude to to younger younger kids is certainly certainly �� TO ��YEAR�OLDS While teaching important, this is the stage at which your child is really able to understand the concept on a deeper level. Make being appreciative a part of a child’s every day by making it fun. Start a weekly tradition in which you go around the dinner table, and each person talks about one thing he appreciated that day. You can also create a “wall of thanks” in the kitchen or family room where everyone can write what they’re thankful for on sticky notes, then post them. kids tend tend to be be more more focused focused on “stuff,” so your your focus TWEENS At this age, kids should be on differentiating d ifferentiating between basic b asic needs (clothes) (clothes) versus privileges that kids have to earn (the latest designer coat). For example, if your child decides she wants a video game or second pair of boots, jointly come up with a sched schedule ule of chore choress to earn money. money. Or offer offer a weekly weekly allowance allowance that’s contingent on household responsibilities. This basic ba sic process not only helps children be grateful for what they have, but also helps them develop an overall appreciation for all the work that enables them to live comfortably. TEENS Keep the attitude of gratitude going by encouraging teens to come

up with their own ways of expressing thanks. For example, they might post a photo of something they’re grateful for daily on Instagram, or write one note of gratitude a day in a journal. At this age, becoming involved in a cause or volunteer project is an ideal way for kids to turn their appreciation into action, and experience how showing your gratitude can really make a difference. 15 8

SLEEP STEALERS ��

You eat right, exercise, and get regular checkups—but there’s a good chance you’re skimping on one crucial ingredient for your health: sleep.

1

“We live in a 24/7 world, and a hectic life often translates into less rest,” says Joseph Ojile, M.D., founder and chief executive execut ive officer of the Clay ton Sleep Institute in St. Louis. But sleep isn’t a luxury you can ca n forgo, and not getting enough has been linked to just about every health hea lth condition, including diabetes, hypertension, and depressi depression. on. In fact, the ongoing National Health Interview Survey shows that getting less than six hours nightly is a risk factor for heart disease, and several

studies have tied lack of sleep to the obesity epidemic. “Sleep loss directly impacts your circadian rhythm and the production of hormones that help regulate your appetite and your body’s storage of fat,” says Michael Breus, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and sleep specialist based in Scottsdale, Arizona. The message is clear: Make sleep a priority. We’ve uncovered six unexpected culprits that might be keeping you up, so you can start getting more shut-eye—tonight.

Not winding down before bed “Most people think they should conk out as soon as the lights go off,” Breus says. “But it’s more like slowly pulling your foot off the gas and putting it on the brake.” In other words, you need time to decompress. His advice: Set an alarm to go off at least 30 minutes before your bedtime; that’s your signal to dim the lights, put on your pj’s, and do anything else that helps you unwind.

An inin-you your-fa r-face ce alar alarm m clock clock “The ideal alarm clock wouldn’t even have numbers on it; it would just go off when you need it to,” says Steven Feinsilver, M.D., director of the Center for Sleep Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Many people wake up during the night, see what time it is, and start worrying about how long they have before they need to rise and shine—which only makes them even more anxious. If you’re prone to this habit, simply turn the clock around. Also try tr y to avoid using your smart phone as an alarm; alar m; the dings or lights of Twitter feeds and newsletters going out in the middle of the night can interrupt your sleep. Even if you turn the alerts off, having your phone right near you on the t he nightstand can create a sense of urgency and anxiety.

A nightcap nightcap Even just one drink right before bed can impact your sleep quality and snoring, because alcohol relaxes the muscles at the back of the throat, Feinsilver explains. And, while that drink might make you relaxed or drowsy at first, the effect wears off in about two hours. At that point, many people can have what’s called a rebound, and wake up tossing and turning.

A cheesy cheesy din dinner ner Most nonprocessed cheeses—like cheddar, Swiss, and blue— contain tyramine, an amino acid that prompts your body to release a stimulating brain chemical called norepinephrine. “Norepinephrine constricts your blood vessels and can raise blood pressure, neither of which is conducive to sleep,” says Robert Rosenberg, D.O., medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center of Prescott Valley, Arizona, and author of Sleep Soundly Every Night, Feel Feel Fantastic Every Day . Rosenberg also recommends avoiding spicy food in the evening (it can exacerbate acid reflux), as well as fatty fare like steak and French fries. “Your “ Your body has to spend more energy energ y to digest these foods, foo ds, and it’s difficult to wind down and sleep when your GI tract is working that hard,” he says.

Getting ready for bed in bright light “A “A bright overhead fixture gives off more than enough light to reduce the production of melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone that your body produces to help you wind down,” Breus says. Take the bathroom lighting down a notch by installing a night-light night -light or dimmer switch.

One last tweet It’s tempting to connect with your virtual social circle whenever you have a free moment, but e-mailing, texting, tweeting, or posting photos is an inherently stimulating activity, which revs up your nervous system. “We need to quiet our brains before bed,” says Shelby Freedman Harris, Psy.D., director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. Cozying up with your tablet or smartphone is also a problem because these devices emit blue light, which interferes with your body’s production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
