I have so many things to be thankful for, but every week as I take notice of little moments to be thankful for...it has really changed my life.
This week I am thankful for...
the colors of spring. I have been walking every morning and noticing all of the colors of the azaleas and flowers and cherry trees...
as I listen to the rain outside, I am thankful that we replaced our roof and that is a worry I no longer have.
I am thankful that on Monday, Allie found a quote that she wanted to memorize and memorized it all on her own!
I am thankful that I have been taking the time to sit down with each girl and go over their math. They are both 3/4 or more done with their math textbooks and getting into more complicated things that frustrate them. By taking the time to sit down on the couch, relax together and go over it, they seem to be less frustrated + quicker to understand.
I worked on a project with some other bloggers this week. We have a gift for all of our readers on Friday and as I worked on this gift this week, things just fell into place seamlessly...and I thought, "That is God!"
I am so, So, SO thankful to all of the bloggers who participated in the Celebrating Motherhood series! All of their posts and unique perspectives on motherhood, being a mother and taking time for ourselves exceeded my expectations for this project! If you have not had a chance to read them, please do!
