Day 29 ; Day 30

Day 29

I am thankful for our furry friends. They are awesome. Especially when you are not feeling well.

Day 30

Well, this is it. We have come full circle to the last day of November. I intentionally have not mentioned the thing I am MOST thankful for. I bet you can guess, its the little man who calls me mom. Yes, I am so deeply thankful, every second of everyday, that Nolan is in my life. Since the moment he was placed in my arms I knew life would never be the same. It is sounds weird or even rude but looking back on my life before Nolan, now just seems so weird and pointless. The little man is my pride and joy! I am so thankful he is healthy, happy and all mine :)

Day 28

Today I am thankful for my bro. He is pretty awesome and very talented.
Love you.

Day 26; Day 27

Day 26

Last night, all three of us sat around and watched lego star wars and ate sherbert ice cream. I am thankful for quiet, quality time with my family.

Day 27

Today, I made a list of what needs to be done at work. I must say, I am so much better under pressure and I am so thankful for that quality! I think it pretty much got me through the last year of graduate school!

Day 25 ; crafting

Day 25

I am thankful for my husband's flexibility. He is willing to get up early, play with the kiddo just so I can have some time to craft!

Yesterday I was feeling a bit down. I really want to go out and shop my heart out. However, our checkbook says the opposite. I decided to craft a bit but it was so late and I could not really focus. Therefore, I got up early today and started crafting in the sunlight. It was fun, relaxing and very fulfilling. I decided to make myself a couple of pairs of earrings to accessorize some shirts I have.

I guess the real reason behind all my money frustration is I believe my family is ready for a second kid. However, with daycare over 1k a month, I cant really swing two kids in at one time! My husband says to just wing it, we always make it. But at what cost? Would my son and husband be stuck at home all the time, eating raman noodles? Ugh, big decisions take a lot of thinking and planning and I just am not sure we can find another free 1k a month to put a new born in daycare. On the other hand, you only live once.... we would do something to make it work...? Well, I know one thing, its not a decision to make today! Whew, dodged that bullet :)

I finished my last holiday knitting. Here is a second grey loop cowl however with yarn from Vogue knitting. Currently, its being blocked.

 Last night, was a night full of trains and Legos. I have a feeling that will be most of today with a bit of knitting on the side. Have a great, last day of vacation!

Day 24

Day 24
Today I am thankful for the my mom's visit this weekend. It was fun and she did not drive me insane!

Day 23

To I am thankful for my grandparents. For the first time I opened my wedding gift from them. My dad had it hidden and stored for many years because they died before I got married. Now, I opened it and nearly cried at its beauty.

Thanks grandpa and grandma!

Day 22

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you were able to spend time with love ones! We spent the day relaxing at the J's and then decorated the house for Christmas. It was wonderful!

I like to give a small  note on how important it is to give back. However, this year I feel the same way but too busy to write out a long post; so here goes:

GIVE BACK! Others are not as fortunate as you and there are many ways to help!


Okay that's all I got...
