The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

June 9, 2015

{currently} 20 Things I Love: A Gratitude Journal

sharing meals around the table
coaches who are good mentors and examples for my boys
an empty laundry basket (if only for a few hours!)
new opportunities to try again
the example of my grandmothers and how they have touched my life
the twinkle in TJ’s eyes
waking up to hot coffee in the pot
brothers and their belly laughs
forgiveness
“You can do this.  Decide that you can.” -Lara Casey
Sophie’s stick family drawings 
growing friendships
ice cold drinks in a mason jar
watching my babies sleep
the peace that comes with not making the to-do list an idol
watching movies on the couch with Mark
fans to cool us during hot, sticky summer days
bird watching with the kids
dreaming big dreams for the future of Big White Farmhouse
falling into bed exhausted, but ready to do it all again tomorrow
