intentional living, little by little

No.333: 2020 Gratitude // 02


This is a new series for 2020 and I hope I can keep it up!  If I record 20 things every week, I’ll have over 1,000 items by December 31.  That’s a lot to be grateful for.


Affiliate links ahead!







kitchen dance parties by candlelight with the three little ones


our new pastor who was officially installed last Sunday


a bad day, which makes me appreciate the good ones


bright lime green moss found in a sea of brown leaves and grass



seeing life through S’s eyes in her Instax photos



the hawk that has taken a liking to our backyard and just sits on our playset, letting us observe him


six kids’ faces plastered to the window


how J picked a necklace for me from the prize box at CCD



getting my dental cleaning over with (and officially deciding to find a new dentist)



the smell of snow in the air


the perfect snowball consistency



a middle-of-the-week snow day (we got 4-5″)

four big kids who volunteer to shovel the driveway



five out of six kids who can dress themselves in snow gear


watching Lucy’s first experience with snow (she looooved it)


a book that will stay with me for a long time


my husband


a big sale on Poshmark


maple and brown sugar oatmeal sprinkled with frozen Maine blueberries on top


a successful first week back to school

    Kitchen dance parties and anything that has to do with snow are the best!

      For the first time ever, I sent six kids (and a dog!) out to play and I sat in complete silence in the house and drank my coffee HOT. Such a surreal experience, ha!
