friday is about being grateful
seeing the little things
remembering to breathe
finding joy
write yours. link up below.
dear almost 100 year old piano
I am so grateful for the memories
and hours of time that I am blessed to sit at you and play
Mozart, Beethoven, and more.
Love the history and the music.
dear caleb
with your freckly freckly face
I just love you so much
and how you love to tell me that
today is the best day ever
and then give me a hug and kiss.
dear legos
Thanks for the hours and hours and hours
of play that you provide my kids
but, I really really really dislike stepping on you
and finding bricks everywhere.
dear toys on the stairs
at least you were large
and not teeny lego scattered about
but as I wrote on this post
I would rather be thankful for the hands that played with them then get frustrated over the mess.
dear kristen brown
thank you so much for letting me review your book
The Happy Hour Effect
I am so blessed to know you.
And for those of you interested

dear ikea bookcase
you’ve made my life feel organized
and I need more organization.
Love love love love having you in my home.
dear simple things
like candle and coobooks on my table
thank you for blessing my moments
with bits of stillness and peace
in the midst of the busy.
