Instant streaming

I am thankful that my friend recommended Netflix to me. I've gotten to see so many more things I never would have without it. :)

Headache

I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am for this stuff on a day like today!

Movies

I am thankful my husband was able to go with his dad to see a movie he's been wanting to see for awhile (Tron).

Shows and friends

(obviously I didn't take this picture even a little - though I wish!)


I am thankful for good shows I can watch with good friends. :)

Time to Dance

I am thankful that I still have one daughter taking ballet!

Paint It Down

So this is how the chandelier turned out after painting it and cleaning it up. I still have a few spots I need to touch up (as you can see), but I love it, so much better than the old one! I am thankful for projects that turn out well.

I am thankful for pretty winter blues when I am feeling blue

A Job Well Done

I am thankful that I can type so well and get tasks done quickly.

A little blush

I am thankful there can be such pops of color in the snow

Bring People Together

I am thankful that enough people to fill this room can come together in songs, hopes and dreams.

Here kitty kitty

This is our cat Ninja. She never really seems to get any bigger, though she is HUGE with personality. I am thankful for a cat that can entertain me!

All lit up

The old chandelier (hated it!)



The new chandelier before paint

I got a free chandelier from our local freecycle. I decided to paint it and replace the old one because I absolutely couldn't stand it. I was in such a rush to make sure this one worked that I bought 60 watt bulbs. Not bad you say? Well, it IS bad when there are 12 of them. You could get a tan in my dining room! I am thankful for things on freecycle that I can improve upon!

School

I am so thankful for tools like this that enable me to complete my school work!

Sorry!

I am thankful for games we can play as a family, have fun with and even my youngest will understand!

Feeling Froggy

These are african clawed frogs. They only live in water, they never come out. My daughter wanted frogs in the worst way. I am thankful for frogs that can't leave their environment and get lost in the house.

Thirsty

I am thankful for a tall, cool glass of water when the winter air is making me feel dry and dehydrated.

Animal House

I am thankful for animals and children that get along so well!

Bedtime

Even though this was a while ago, I still am very proud of the work I did on my daughter's bed. I am thankful for the inspiration that helps me come up with good ideas!

Fun without the Sun

As a late birthday celebration, we took the kids to Coco Keys hotel and indoor water park. I am thankful for affordable, fun and unusual places where the kids can have a blast!

Upon Review

I am thankful that old pictures can still make me smile!

Sprucing up the office

I am thankful that my children draw me colorful creations that I can enjoy at work!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to my first born! I am thankful that she enjoyed the days and liked her gifts!

Days like this

I have those days, like everyone I suppose, where I feel like I can't catch up and life is closing in on me. Then I see things like this. I am thankful for signs that catch me off guard and remind me to not take myself so seriously.

Bedtime

As adults we lose sight of the simple pleasures. We take things for granted and fun does not often enter the building. I am thankful that simple things like matching PJs still tickles the children.

Just Dance

Because of the chaos of the holidays, my brother and I decided to wait awhile to get our families together. When we did, the kids insisted on playing Just Dance on the Wii. My brother and I even danced to some (after MUCH begging from the kids). I am thankful for a family that can play together.

Tied in knots

I am thankful for good friends that are willing to play a little Twister.

Just a little style

This is one of my favorite pictures of her. It really shows her character and unique flair. I am thankful I have children that want to live out loud.

Whimzy

I am thankful to still have children that are in awe of a little bit of "magic".

Warmth

I am thankful for my favorite cup filled with warm tea to keep me feeling cozy on a cold winter's night.

Cruisin'

I am thankful for the opportunity to take a pretty picture and be a little creative with it.

Signs on the Road

I am thankful for signs that make me giggle. :)

Being Thankful

I am going to try to take a moment every day to be thankful for something. I don't know how well it will work, but I am going to try. So many people around me are just angry and bitter all the time and I think they (and I) need to slow down and look around and see all the things we have rather than all the things we don't have.






I am thankful for the rainbow that made an appearance on the 11 hour drive we were on.
