Thankful

This was supposed to get done for Thanksgiving Day but I sort of got distracted. B was off Thursday and Friday so I wanted to fully enjoy his time off and enjoy our little family. Lesson learned- write ahead of time!! 

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones! Ours was very low key with just the 4 of us.  I enjoyed less stress but I missed our extended family.  

I still want to share my final thankful post. First, I am so grateful to be a mommy.  The journey getting here was not easy for us and I am always amazed that there are 2 little boys I get to love. I always cry on their birthdays and on Thanksgiving because I am just so thankful and feel so blessed. 

I am also thankful for B! He provides the fun, adventures,  is a great dad, and works so hard for our family.  Life with him is easy, exciting, and when we do encounter hard times we always lean and work together. I am so lucky to have him in my life! He goes along with my hair brained ideas, always changing decor, inability to cook, my love for Starbucks and clothes.  

Finally, I am thankful for YOU that read my posts. I didn’t tell family or friends about it (still haven’t). This blog was for me ❤️  I wanted to document my life, share things that I love, and just follow the desire I felt to start a blog. Thank You to those that visit my blog because to have 3, 50, or even 138 people reading just surprises me and makes me smile.

    I got off track with a few of my blogging posts over Thanksgiving too. I almost always try to have them scheduled to post ahead of time but somehow just didn't get to that this year. What a wonderful list of things to be thankful for.

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Image
Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
