The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

July 12, 2016

{currently} 20 Things I Love: A Gratitude Journal vol.8

M‘s excitement about his very own library card
brand new maternity bottoms that make me feel just a teeny bit stylish
the smell of fresh tomatoes
starting the search for the kids’ fall clothing: lots of good luck on Kidizen and ThredUp!
watching D’s creativity as he creates stop-motion animation movies
vintage finds that are both functional and pretty to look at
TJ’s slobbery kisses and cuddles
when Mark makes the coffee before he leaves for work
a newly mopped floor
a new favorite soap – so refreshing!
a good night’s sleep
a high five from Sophie as she declares, “Girls rule, mama!”
feeling tiny baby kicks
new inspiration for sharing on Big White Farmhouse’s Instagram 
dirty feet from being outside in the yard
watching the birds outside our window
blueberry peach cobbler
J’s kindness toward his sister, especially when she invites him to her tea parties
easy dinners on the grill
this quote from St. Dominic Savio: “I can’t do big things.  But I want all I do, even the smallest thing, to be for the greater glory of God.”
