The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{recording life} A Month of Thanksgiving: Day 1


I don’t know about you, but the month of October was a total blur.  Maybe it has something to do with that sweet baby girl in the house?  The next two months are absolute favorites of mine though, and I really, really want to enjoy them.  So in an attempt to slow down and relish my favorite time of year, I’m going to start making a list of all that I’m grateful for – the big and the little things.  The goal is to share one thing everyday this month.  Maybe you want to play too?


Day 1: Today I’m thankful for this overflowing pile of handmade blankets and quilts.  The weather has gone from balmy to brisk…where did the fall go?!  My new morning routine is cuddling underneath them and watching cartoons with the kids.  And I’m reaching for them in the evenings, as my husband and I unwind after a long day.  So thankful for their warmth and the memories we’re creating.

    This is a lovely idea. Today I am grateful for a husband who always fixes my coffee pot for me so all I have to do is turn it on when I get up. Even if he's already gone for the day, I get to wake up knowing I'm loved and cared for.

      What a beautiful gesture of love. It's always the little things, right?
