Throughout the year I am always very appreciative of the small and big things in my life that give me meaning. The month of November however does seem to make an imprint even more on thankfulness as we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Many are posting their 30 days of thankfulness on Facebook so I figured I would post
A Mom’s List of Thankful Things…
1. Our beautiful children.
2. Naps (both us and the kids!)
3. Starbucks coffee (its the simple things in life)
4. Experiencing life through the eyes of our little ones.
5. Getting a shower in and actually getting to shave my legs.
6. DVR
7. Me time (far and few between).
8. Good health for my family.
9. Vacation memories!
10. Little toes
11. Their hand in mine.
12. Seeing my best qualities in them.
