24 Days of Thanks: Day 8




I am thankful for Brayden's love of books. I've always enjoyed books and reading. It makes me smile to see Brayden engulfed in books nearly all the time. Many times a day he'll disappear and I'll hear silence, only to find him in his room "reading" books. It doesn't matter if he's looking at books alone, or being read to, either way he is focused on the book. This morning we sat in his room and read almost every single book we own. I hope he always continues to like books, and enjoy reading! Like Dr. Seuss said - "the more you read, the more you know, the more you know, the more places you'll go!"

I am thankful for music. Music is just plain awesome. There's always something you can listen to to fit your mood, or change your mood.



24 Days of Thanks: Day 6




I am thankful for my adorable little boy. Brayden is the best thing that could have happened to me. He makes me want to be a better person every day and he makes my heart grow bigger every minute. Even when he's being a pill he can still brighten my day and he never ceases to make me laugh. His smile makes me melt and I am so thankful God trusted me to be his mom. I love him so much!

I am thankful for the snow. Even though I despise winter, and I don't particularly appreciate snow quite this early, having to deal with the brutal cold makes warm summers that much better. Plus, I have a feeling Brayden and I will have some fun (chilly) memories in the snow this winter. That kid is all boy!


24 Days of Thanks: Day 4




I am thankful for companies that still make healthy wholesome foods! I really like eating fresh fruits & veggies whenever possible but sometimes you're just crunched for time. Pure bars are made with delicious foods that are good for you without all the extra gunk that's in most "boxed" foods these days. And to top it off, you can order in bulk from their website!




24 Days of Thanks: Day 3




Playing catch up here - been busy around this house lately!

I am thankful for video phones that allow Brayden and I to make silly videos to send to Jesse when he is gone at work.

24 Days of Thanks: Day 2




Today when I took my car to get the oil changed, I found out the that my radiator is cracked. Yippee! Not. Even though that sucks BIG TIME, I am thankful that I HAVE a car to begin with. Even if cars are expensive as all get out when something goes wrong. Fingers crossed the warranty covers it!
