A week of Gratitude//Day Three

Hi and welcome to day three of 'A week of Gratitude'! I'm having a great time taking time to write out the things I'm thankful for. It makes me that much more aware of all I have to be thankful for and appreciate.

Today I am thankful for the ability to stay home with Dakota. In the back of my mind, I always liked the idea of being a stay at home mama, but I never ever thought it was in the cards. I'm so glad that it is though! It's been so fun to watch, and learn along side Dakota. I love teaching her new things, but even more so, I love that she teaches me new things daily. Now that I've done this with her, I couldn't imagine having ever put her in daycare. I also couldn't ever imagine leaving any future babies (um, 3 more to be exact!!!/) with someone else! I hope that I will be able to do this until she goes to school, but if not, I'm so extremely thankful for this time I've been able to stay home so far.

A week of Gratitude//Day Two

 

Today I am thankful for Bean and Dakota. My two babes. I am thankful for the love that I share with both of them. 

So thankful that I share a love with Bean so great, that we grew a child together. That we are wading the waters of parenthood together. So glad that we are in this forever. I know that I can count on him to be the best father that he can be. I know that I can depend on him. I'm so thankful that he provides. It's hard to remember life without him. And for that, I am truly thankful.

For Dakota, the light of my life. So thankful that she is alive and healthy. So glad that each morning I'm greeted by smiles and arms stretched out for me. Thankful for the sweet kisses and hugs she showers me with throughout the day. Thankful for the energetic, curious, yet gentle spirit that she posses. Thankful that she only the best parts of Bean and I. Thankful that she is mine.

I love these two, very much. xo, Meghan

A week of Gratitude//Day One

I feel like first and foremost, I should be thankful for Jesus. Thankful for my relationship with God. Without my foundation in Him, I would not be who I am. "It is in Christ that we find out who we are and who we are living for"-Ephesians 1:11. I wouldn't be able to be the best mother I can be. The best girlfriend, friend, daughter, sister, I can be. My faith is renewed daily in the sweetness that life has to offer, only because of Jesus. I know that He has to exist and be on my side when I look at Dakota and look at Bean, and see what I have been immensely blessed with. I am so far from perfect and do not deserve this perfect love that He has bestowed upon me, and for that I am so extremely thankful. 

A week of gratitude!

That's right! This week is full of thankfulness. This entire month, had I actually thought about it, should have been for thankfulness. I know that I could come up with something everyday for a month that I am thankful for. This time I'll just be doing a week. I encourage you to make a list of things you're appreciative of. I have a fun recipe you can whip up in no time for Thanksgiving, lots of things I'm thankful for, and maybe a few back stories to go with them. Also, a super easy DIY you can do with your kiddos. I hope you'll join us!

ps, if you're interested in participating, shoot me an email so I can include you. If you have a yummy recipe to share, I'd super love that!
