intentional living, little by little
Day 12: Today I’m thankful that my husband is amazing in the kitchen. He most definitely is the chef in our family and I love when he whips up yummy meals for us. This past weekend was no exception…he’s the best! I think I’ll thank him by baking some cookies. 🙂
Day 10: Today I’m thankful for all the men and women who are willing to sacrifice everything for our country. Freedom isn’t free and I never want to take that for granted. I’m especially thankful for all of the men in my family who have served this great nation: my grandfather, father, brother and husband. We have a legacy of former Marines in this family!
Day 10: Today I am so grateful for my dryer. Not only does it make our clean laundry warm and toasty, it also soothes upset babies! This picture was taken at 10 o’clock at night after two hours of crying (her or me? both? I’ll never tell). I’m not sure whether she has a touch of colic and if it’s just something I ate. But at my wit’s end, I turned the dryer on, threw a random fleece jacket on the top and put her down. Immediate calm and she stared at the light for almost 5 minutes!
Day 9: Today I’m thankful for this boy. He’s my helper. When this photo was taken, I was sweeping the floor for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. Something distracted me and I left my chore unfinished. Next thing I know, this sweet boy is on the floor with the dust pan, intent on completing the job for me. I am so thankful for his eagerness to help and the joy in his eyes when I give him a job to do.
