" Feeling gratitude and not expressing it
is like wrapping a present and not giving it."

The Way, The Truth and The Life
There really are no words to express how lucky I am to have a savior who looks after me! I believe God has a huge sense of humor and enjoys watching me as I move through this crazy thing called life. Plus every time I tell him my plans he laughs and delivers me something better or stronger than I could ever imagine.
Family
Without these individuals there would be no adventure in my life. I've been married to a man who makes me laugh every day but mostly I'm shaking my head at his silliness. He really should have been a comedian. The children I've been blessed to raise are the light in my life. Some days they make me want to pull my hair out but 95% of the time I cannot get enough of them. Instead of just being a Mother I have to admit I'm more of a Smother-er.
Homeschooling & Home Business
These past few years where I've been able to take advantage of teaching my children while running a home based business has been a real treat. Unfortunately not a lot of us mom's are able to spend this amount of quality time with our children while making income to help sustain our family finances. Our customers really have made this dream come true!
And last but not least just the basics that most people take for granted. Having a roof over our heads so that we can make a house a home, food on our table so there are no empty tummies and health so we have the strength to get it all done. These little things are huge to the ones who don't have them but are over looked as the things we should celebrate. I want to shout it from the rooftops that I recognize them as the most beautiful blessings of 2017.
I hope your holiday is filled with good food, friends and lots of love!
Happy Thanksgiving
