it’s the week of christmas! there’s so much to be thankful for.
whenever parker and i are in the car together lately, i ask him,
“what are you thankful for, buddy?”
sounds trite but i’m trying to really instill a spirit of gratefulness in him.
a lot of the times his answer is his cars or his books
but i’m thinking one of these days he’s going to get really deep on me, right?!
as deep as the above selfie is maybe? (eye roll)
here’s my list:
1. the warm weather (66 degrees in a few days!)
2. it’s a wonderful life movie
3. hot showers
4. my family, oh my family!!
5. music (loving the oh hello’s new album lately)
6. lotion (dry hands!)
7. eggs and buttered toast
8. warm slippers (i finally bought myself these and i’m calling it my christmas bonus)
9. you! (for real. cheesiness aside, so glad you guys are here. THANK YOU.)
10. my girlfriends. where would i be without them??
you?
Great list! Thankful for my handsome husband who is an amazing daddy and fully capable of being by himself with our kids for days… Ok I haven't ever left for more than a day but I'm confident he could do it and probably still have a clean house. He's a superstar. And I'm thankful for healthy kids who are so joyful. The list could go on for days.
that is a GOOD MAN!
i saw the oh hello's perform the new album a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING. gah.
i saw them with anna two years ago–amazing. love them. (was that mustached guy still jumping all over the stage??!)
buttered toast – I love that!
For me it would be:
– family and friends
– kind and generous people who always manage to strengthen or restore my belief in humanity
– a husband who builds me bookshelves for our anniversary
– meal plans
– the internet or the amazing people contributing to it, so I don't feel that alone with some of my thoughts (is that vague enough to not be too cheesy? 😉 )
not cheesy at all! 🙂
1. my immediate family, my two boys and wonderful husband
2. my family and getting to spend a week with them over christmas
3. music
4. coffee
5. sweaters
6. warm socks
7. my church family that is my family away from family
8. stove top potpourri
9. fresh homemade bread
10. my friends. i hate living so far away from my family, but i have some awesome friends that really make up for it

stovetop potpourri–often overlooked but a home that smells so nice is wonderful!!
warm weather is DEFINITELY on my list. That, quality time with family, and acts of goodness like this that restore my faith in humanity: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35151967
A very Merry Christmas 🙂
PERFECT timing haha, we just finished a move and selling our house in the same week my husband found out his mom has cancer and his dad went into ICU for his heart (sorry I know such drama) and honestly we felt beat down by the end of last week but it made me realize I'm SO thankful for-
1. My husband and baby boy
2. family and friends
half our life in storage and no definite home ahead (trying to move cities) I am just so happy to have the people in my life. I've really enjoyed reading this year, your blog is so grounded and simple and always feel like I totally get the way you think and thats really great! MErry Christmas xxx
A roof over my head each night, food on my table and a warm home with clean running water. My husband, my daughter, my family and my friends. My husband's job which provides us with good, affordable health insurance and the ability to pay our bills. A reliable car, music, chocolate and penguins.
