Thankful Days #24

Today I am thankful for traditions! I love all the great traditions that we have in our family, some may be silly and are nothing fancy while others are special. One crazy tradition that I have is that I go out shopping the day after Thanksgiving....not to really score the deal, but just to go really.

For years it was always me, my mom and my good friend Amy. Now Amy and I continue the tradition. Its fun! Another fun tradition we have is that in the last couple of years I started wrapping up Christmas books and starting Dec. 1st we read one book a night. It's fun because the kids never know what Christmas story we will be reading each night!! The best is that Emmah has figured out how to find her favorite story The Polar Express!!

Today I am thankful for unconditional love. I am truly loved unconditionally and hope that I can love those around me unconditionally. It is truly a blessing to have unconditional love and know that no matter what there is someone who always love me.

Today I am thankful for the wonderful staff at my kids schools! Everyone from the classroom aides to the teachers and the principle are a group of very caring and child focused people. I appreciate all the extra effort and time they put in to help my kids learn and have the best experiences!!

I am looking forward to my years ahead at their school and thank them all for their love of kids!

Today I am thankful for Game Nights!! I am in LOVE with the fact that my kids are really getting into playing games!! We have always sorta had a game night, but now that they are a little older we can play some really fun games!!

Uno has been the recent favorite along with of course Candyland! I am looking forward to adding some fun games to our game cupboard this Christmas! They can learn so much from games and it is FUN! We still play games as adults with friends and family and I am happy to pass this along to my kids!

Thankful Days #20

I am thankful today for lazy mornings!! I love it when we have no place to go and can just hang out in our jammies and play games, chat and share some laughs!! Those mornings are the best. They usually happen on a snow day, but every once in awhile one creeps up on us and we able to enjoy some fun time together!! Cuddles, cartoons and all!

Thankful Days #19

Today I am thankful for my husbands job. His job has had it's ups and down, but all and all has provided for us. It has allowed me to work part-time and run my Bloem & Grow business. We have been very blessed that when things have gotten slow and he has been laid off, we have been able to work through it.

I am thankful that he works so hard for our family to provide us with what we need. He is a wonderful husband and father!! I don't know what we would do without him!

Fallin

I LOVE fall!! It is one of my favorite seasons! I love the fall colors, the slightly crisper air, the football (sorta) and the fun fall activities that go along with it!! I have been on a real craft kick lately as well as looking for a nice festive wreath to hang on my door to celebrate this wonderful season.

Well I am cheap so I have not been having much luck. In my many hunts of the blogs that I follow, which usually leads me to more blogs to follow (it's an endless cycle really!) I recently came upon this awesome yarn wreath. Not only is this wreath budget friendly it is the modern chic I LOVE!! So I decided to give it a try, I mean there were step by step directions so how hard could it be?

Not hard at all! I was so excited to make it I bought my supplies and had to start it that day...of course I had to wait til 1o:45 to start which in turn made for a late night. I finished up yesterday and am so excited how it turned out! I am definitely making more of these!

If you want to make one of you own check out blog take heart and make one of your own!!

Happy Craftin!
