We hope you’re spending the day at home (wherever that may be), surrounded by family + friends.

Earlier this month, we asked you on Facebook, Instagram, and in the newsletter what you’re thankful for– and we wanted to share all the warm + fuzziness with everyone.

So, what are you thankful for, Lakeland?
