ThankFULL Week

Today I am thankful that I have a home. A beautiful home...not all the way we want it, and not perfect but wonderful! Almost 2 years we have been here. Today is the 2nd Thanksgiving we have hosted, and this time last year we were working overtime to get the basement done. 1 year since our wonderful TV room came together!! It is so very comfy down here, I love it. My place of relaxing, my place of cuddling with hubby, kids and pets.
We never thought we would see the day we owned a house and here I am being Thankful for it=)



Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

ThankFULL Week

Today I am thankful that I have 2 lovely kids. They create almost all the challenges I face day to day, but without challenges, I wouldn't be who I am. The challenges grow me, stretch me, mold me. Without my kids who knows where I'd be?? Not here and that means I wouldn't be as happy as I am now=)

ThankFULL week

It is Tuesday and the last day this week my kids have school. I am thankful for the option to put them in a charter school. We don't have the finances to pay for private schools, and don't feel led to home school, and definitely don't live in a good school district so cannot send our kids to public schools. So I am extremely grateful for this "other" option we have!

Our kids class size can only be 20, they must wear uniforms, they get character education (kindness, loyalty, trustworthy, etc...) they are greatly cared for and known by all the teachers and the list goes on. We love our kids school!!

And all in all I am thankful my kids get the opportunity to go to school at all, so many kids in other countries count it a privilege to get an education and here in the US it is taken for granted the opportunity to be educated.

ThankFULL Week

Today I want to express my Thanks for brooms and swiffers. Seriously. I have hardwood floors and 2 cats and a dog and 2 kids and a husband...whom I am ALWAYS cleaning up after and I just like clean floors. As a matter of fact if you are talking on the phone with me, I am sweeping! Not sure why, but if I get on the phone I automatically pick up the broom! Kinda funny=)

I am so glad that I get to clean up and not have to just deal with the dirt.

So today be thankful that you actually are able to clean, it is a privilege, believe it or not!

ThankFULL Week

I wanted to start a little ThankFULL Week here on my blog!

I love thinking of all the little things we take for granted and be super thankful for them.

I'm going to start with sleep. It isn't such a little thing, but something I do take for granted. so many people have sleep horror stories, especially when they have little kids. We had some major issues with our youngest, for almost a year. But now I think I have some of the best sleepers around! Usually there is no arguing, and absolutely no problems. My kids sleep about 11-13 hours at a time. Only every once in a blue moon does one of them even wake up with a bad dream, or other issues. Josh and I are great sleepers as well. It seems like lately Ive heard quite a number of people who have to use a sleeping pill or other method of inviting sleep. I really don't understand, as I have never experienced sleep problems.

So this is why I wanted to express my thankfulness for SLEEP. I am ever grateful for my full nights of it!

Gobble, Gobble!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of y friends and family!
I am greatful for all of you, and for all the roles you have played in my life!
And to my blog buddies, Thanks for keeping me occupied throughout the day, I'd go crazy with out ya'll=)

Remember to count your blessings today!

And eat lots of food, it is mostly good for you anyway!!
