I know, I know….I haven’t been posting all my photos from my Project 365 of Gratitude lately – still figuring out this mom juggling thing. However, I am proud to say that I have been taking the pictures every day and even have them all printed! It’s a miracle!
Here are some highlights from the last couple of weeks – our lives in a nutshell:

Seriously - who isn't grateful for the Bumbo?

Whether they are clear sets or wood mounted - I always love getting the samples in the mail because it just reconfirms how thankful I am for my work

I'm grateful that so many people love Cole as much as we do - notice little 3-year-old Mackenzie helping to pose his head

This was one of the first mornings he didn't wake up at 3 or 4 - now he even sleeps till 7 (12 hours) sometimes

Jason is a great walk-taker with the little man

I finally got a pedicure - I'm grateful for the simple things that make me feel good about myself

I think that I am most grateful for Nikki - my next-door neighbor and fabulous babysitter. She's clean, calm and has rules - what could be better?

I'm grateful I actually cooked a real dinner!

Of course, this Mother's Day (and every other day for that matter) I am grateful for this little guy. I'm thankful for motherhood.
It is so apparent as I go through this journey of gratitude that we have so much to be thankful for. Even in the daily struggles, stressful situations and things that don’t seem to go our way, our lives are full of miracles, blessings and opportunities to choose joy. William A. Ward said,
(You have the) gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say, “thank you?”
Have a wonderful weekend – and thanks for reading my blog!


I’m jealous, want a nice pedicure. These are great pictures. I especially like the one of Jason and Cole out for air.
I could just eat him up! That last picture is adorable! He looks just like you. I also love the picture of Jason taking him for a walk. So sweet.
I’ve recently become a big fan of your blog. Such a sweet place. Love the gratitude!
LOL! I love it, she’s clean…I can relate, some days a simple shower is not in the “budget” of time we have…I love the picture of Jason and Cole taking a walk, and the one of Cole with the hat on an angle…he’s such a cutie! Thanks for sharing…as long as you do, we’ll read.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts and photos – really made my day!

The bumbo looks fantastic. Wish they were around when I started having kids!
